SAG Awards: Diversity Reigns in a Rebuke to #OscarsSoWhite [View all]

Idris Elba, who failed to earn an Oscar nomination for his performance in 'Beasts of No Nation,' was the toast of the evening.

Elba received a supporting actor award for "Beasts" and a second trophy for TV's Luther.

His role in "Beasts" was very painful to watch, IMO, which is also why he is such a good actor. I thought this latest season of Luther was not the best, possibly because it was so short. But I am very glad that he - and others - received well-deserved recognition at the SAG awards.
