The27th AnnualScreen Actors Guild Awards, honoring the best achievements in film and television performances for the year 2020, were presented on April 4, 2021. The ceremony was broadcast on bothTNT andTBS at 9:00 P.M.EST / 6:00 P.M.PST, airing for one hour rather than the usual two.[1] The nominees were announced byLily Collins andDaveed Diggs on February 4, 2021 viaInstagram Live.[2][3][4]
Additionally, the shortened one-hour show was pre-recorded. The winners were informed of their wins a few days before the telecast and the acceptance speeches were also pre-taped. These changes were aCOVID-era decision in order to protect the guild's nominees and presenters.[5]

In 2015 and 2016, he was part of the winning ensembles forBirdman (2014) andSpotlight (2015), respectively.[6]
