On Saturday night at the historic Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles, the 30th annual SAG Awards took place. All the leading actors from film and television were on hand in the hopes of winning gongs. However, there were a number of overdue reunions at the star-studded celebration, as well as the excitement of winning awards.

Even when it runs counter to the source material, half of respondents favor casting black and brown actors in film and television roles traditionally associated with whites. The poll was released as a result of controversies surrounding the casting of actors of color in The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power and black actor Steve Toussaint as Lord Corlys Velaryon in the Game of Thrones prequel, The House of the Dragon. The show's creators were accused of deviating from the original text, according to the diverse casting choices. They threatened actors on social media and posted scathing comments about the adaptations.

Lord Of The Rings: Sir Lenny Henry, a Rings Of Power actor who has slammed the decision to include black actors in the new Amazon film, has retaliated. 'Not up to some man eating Hobnobs in his panties to say mean things behind people's backs and post it,' the actor, who stars Saddoc Burrows in the blockbuster television series said. This morning, he discussed the issue of GMB.
