The Screen Actors Guild Awards was all about one film tonight, with sci-fi action Everything Everywhere All at Once picking up four of the big awards.

As you’d expect with such domination, the extended cast got swept up in the excitement of it all.

In one of the most euphoric moments from the SAG Awards ceremony at Los Angeles’ Fairmont Century Plaza, US actress Jamie Lee Curtis won Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Supporting Role.

The 64-year-old Hollywood veteran jumped for joy after her name was read out, before grabbing her co-star, Malaysian actress Michelle Yeoh, and planting a passionate kiss on her lips.

Taking to the stage, an emotional Curtis – accepting her first ever SAG award – encouraged the crowd to chant, “Michelle Yeoh!”.

“Michelle Yeoh, I love you, I love you, I love you!” Curtis said as a Yeoh watched on in tears.

Yeoh, 60, was also victorious in the Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor category, edging out favourite Cate Blanchett for Tar.

Everything Everywhere All at Once – which took out four of its five nominations – also won Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture, and Ke Huy Quan took home best supporting actor.

The SAGs, the only awards show dedicated entirely to actors, are considered a fair barometer for the Academy Awards.

The Oscars is taking place on March 13, with voting opening March 2.
