Biggie and Faith.
Hidden Figures pulled off the big win for Ensemble Cast at the 23rd annual SAG Awards Sunday night. The union did well to spread the wealth with only one film — Fences — taking more than one trophy, and only Netflix’s The Crown winning twice on the TV side.
Denzel Washington and Viola Davis took home hardware for their Fences roles, Emma Stone won Lead Actress for La La Land, and Mahershala Ali was honored for his Moonlight role.
The Lead Actor SAG honor went to a visibly shocked
Denzel Washington of Fences who also directed and was a producer on the film. He has mostly stood by and watched his Fences co-star Viola Davis take the prizes this season (as she also did earlier tonight at SAG win- ning in support). Washing- ton becomes the first actor to actually direct himself to a SAG award, his first in a ca- reer that has included two Oscars.
Many think the Cast award is SAG’s equivalent of Best Picture, but the Guild insists it isn’t and exists just to honor great acting ensembles.

Keke Palmer Seeking Legal Action Against Trey Songz
Keke Palmer is giving Trey Songz the business. Trey Songz has been in the news a lot lately and none of it has been good.
Keke Palmer is seeking legal action against Trey Songz after he allegedly used her image and likeness in part of his music video “Pick Up The Phone” without her con- sent.
In an interview with Larry King, Palmer reinforced her belief Songz used "sexual intimidation" at a party she was in attendance for, where he tried to force her into a
role in the video. Palmer, who admitted to
turning down the offer sev- eral times, said she even physically hid out in a closet to escape him.
Palmer said she hasn’t spoken one-on-one to Songz on the matter yet, but that her part in the video has since been removed following the claims.
