You can dismiss actors as nothing but insecure attention-seekers — and a lot of the time that’s just what Hollywood does — but on Sunday night at the 23rd Screen Actors Guild Awards, the honorees rose to the occasion of the moment. And much of the ceremony played like a rally of the resistance.
“I am a citizen of the world,” Ashton Kutcher said, as he kicked off the proceedings at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles, addressing headfirst the politically charged events of the past week. Speaking to “everyone in airports that belong in my America,” he went on to exclaim, “You are part of the fabric of who we are and we love you and we welcome you.”
With that, the tone was set for an evening where almost everyone who took the stage chose to speak, some more explicitly to others, about the current political climate, with many remarks aimed directly at President Trump.
