Politically-charged speeches were the order of the day at this year’s Screen Actors Guild (SAG) awards, with many attendees choosing to speak out against President Trump’s controversial immigration ban.
Yet that wasn’t the only talking point at the Los Angeles ceremony, which also saw some more light-hearted moments, the odd surprise – and more than one fashion catastrophe.
Here are seven things that grabbed our attention.
The Oscar-winning star of Moulin Rouge turned heads on the red carpet by wearing two of them on her shoulders.
The Australian actress – who was up for an award for her work in Lion – frocked up in a green Gucci gown adorned with feathered parrot heads.
The dress saw her crowned by some media as the worst-dressed star at the event and quickly had people squawking in the Twittersphere.
\u00ab\u00a0Every night in America should end with Nicole Kidman in a bird dress,\u00a0\u00bb wrote Vanity Fair columnist Richard Lawson .
Will someone try to top her bold fashion choice at Hollywood’s next awards bash? After all, toucan play at that game.
Stranger Things actor David Harbour gave an impassioned speech when the show won its best ensemble award, calling on his fellow \u00ab\u00a0craftsmen and women\u00a0\u00bb to \u00ab\u00a0battle against fear, self-centredness and exclusivity\u00a0\u00bb.
But his thunder was stolen somewhat by the facial expressions sported by his co-star Winona Ryder as she stood beside him.
Initially surprised at the weight of her prize statuette, the 45-year-old went on to emote delight, amazement and confusion before raising her fist in what appeared to be a mock salute.
\u00ab\u00a0Next time Trump gives a speech, make Winona Ryder stand next to him and translate for all of us through her facial expressions,\u00a0\u00bb wrote the TV critic Emily Nussbaum .
Harbour himself made reference to his co-star afterwards, describing the memes and gifs she had unwittingly generated as \u00a0\u00bb epic \u00ab\u00a0.
Stranger Things’s success came at the expense of another highly regarded sci-fi show that had also begun the evening with three nominations.
The TV makeover of Michael Crichton’s Westworld ended up a bridesmaid though, missing out in all three categories in which it was shortlisted.
As well as missing out on the outstanding ensemble in a drama series prize, the show was also pipped to a stuntwork prize by Game of Thrones.
Thandie Newton, meanwhile, had to applaud politely when fellow Brit Claire Foy received the best actress in a drama series award.
But the 44-year-old made light of being passed over, posting a humorous picture on Twitter of herself necking a bottle of champagne.
Even William H Macy was surprised when he beat Transparent’s Jeffrey Tambor to the award for outstanding performance by a male actor in a comedy series.
\u00ab\u00a0I’m shocked,\u00a0\u00bb the Shameless star told the audience. \u00ab\u00a0I’m probably not as shocked as Jeffrey, but I’m pretty shocked. \u00a0\u00bb
Macy went on to \u00ab\u00a0thank President Trump for making Frank Gallagher\u00a0\u00bb – the debauched single father he plays in the Showtime TV series – \u00ab\u00a0seem so normal\u00a0\u00bb.
Felicity Huffman, Macy’s actress wife, tweeted a picture of her own delight at her husband’s third SAG win.
Meryl Streep got a shout-out on Sunday from The Crown award-winner John Lithgow, who dedicated part of his acceptance speech to praise her for her much-publicised Trump tirade at the Golden Globes.
\u00ab\u00a0I would like to honour… a great and underrated actress who somehow managed to speak my exact thoughts three weeks ago at another awards ceremony, and that’s Meryl Streep,\u00a0\u00bb said the 71-year-old.
Streep – who was up for the best actress prize for her role in Florence Foster Jenkins – got additional love after photos were taken of her reaching over to straighten Ryan Gosling’s dickie bow.
\u00ab\u00a0Having Miranda Priestly voluntarily fix your outfit is the equivalent of being touched by an angel,\u00a0\u00bb gushed In Style’s Olivia Bahou – a reference to Streep’s magazine editor role in The Devil Wears Prada.
Manchester by the Sea – a cheery tale about a janitor coping with a series of tragic bereavements – had gone into Sunday’s awards with the most nominations – four in all .
Yet Kenneth Lonergan’s film went away empty-handed when Casey Affleck, Lucas Hedges and Michelle Williams were all beaten in their respective awards categories.
The film also missed out on the outstanding performance by a cast in a motion picture prize – the SAG equivalent of a best picture award.
Affleck’s failure to win the best actor award – a prize won by Denzel Washington instead – was one of the bigger upsets of the night.
Not everyone was sad to see Ben Affleck’s little brother miss out for once following a string of successes at other awards ceremonies. though: \u00ab\u00a0Denzel winning over Casey Affleck at the SAG Awards is the best thing I’ve heard today,\u00a0\u00bb wrote one Twitter user .
Veteran actress Lily Tomlin made a topical reference to \u00ab\u00a0alternative facts\u00a0\u00bb – a phrase that has become common usage since its coinage by top Trump aide Kellyanne Conway – as she collected a lifetime achievement award on Sunday.
\u00ab\u00a0Did you hear the Doomsday Clock has been moved up to two-and-a-half minutes before midnight? \u00a0\u00bb she told a whooping audience at Los Angeles’ Shrine Auditorium.
\u00ab\u00a0This award came just in the nick of time. \u00a0\u00bb
The 77-year-old went on to offer such safe words of actorly advice as \u00ab\u00a0don’t be anxious about missing an opportunity\u00a0\u00bb and \u00ab\u00a0don’t leave the house when you’re drunk\u00a0\u00bb.
\u00ab\u00a0Live your life so that when you are being honoured for your achievements, the people called upon to make laudatory remarks can feel reasonably honest about their comments,\u00a0\u00bb she went on.
\u00ab\u00a0Otherwise, in these times, all their words or phrases might be perceived as alternative facts – or worse yet, fake news.\u00a0\u00bb
