Besides being the starry affair of the cinematic galaxy, award seasons also bring a platform for streaming warfare owing to television achievements. As the reel world of mastery unfolds in cinematic reality, winners swarm the stage to chronicle the recognition period with their touching acceptance speeches. Running from the long roads of Netflix’s fame, The Crown actor, Elizabeth Debicki left her mark at this year’s SAG Awards, deserting the other nominees including Jennifer Aniston for The Morning Show.

Leaving behind the close contenders on the sail, Debicki’s winning boat just anchored the shore in LA, marking a historic feat for the streaming giant.

The royal nitpicks are everyone’s favorite and for the award season, The Crown, making its spot consecutively shows exactly the level of effort the cast put through. As the Shrine Auditorium in LA settles the winner card deck for this season, Debicki managed to emerge triumphant against all competitors. She won the SAG Award for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Drama Series against her fellow nominees, including Jennifer Aniston.

After winning the category back in 2020 for The Morning Show and achieving the Drama TV Star of the Year recognition at the People’s Choice, this snub did come with a tinge of disappointment. Although Bella Ramsay, Keri Russel, and Sarah Snook also fell short in front of the reel Princess Diana, they did find a special mention in Debicki’s acceptance speech for their role in inspiring her.

While Debicki’s acceptance speech was a clear shout-out for her contemporaries, it also found the audience resorting to counter-cheers.

The Crown’s run on Netflix may have ended last year, but this year is all about revisiting the stunning performances. After leading the Critics’ Choice Awards, this win was an additional jewel to the show’s trophy closet. As Debicki looked taken aback by the sudden declaration, she did reveal that the shock was rather true. Mentioning her co-nominees, Debicki shared her gratefulness for being a part of the actor’s world while expressing her love for the “job”.

She also took time to recall the first time she set on the stage to act in a school play. Overwhelmed by the recognition, the actor made another special mention of her mother’s birthday. While Aniston indeed did not bag the win at the SAG Awards, she did win many hearts with her moving speech for Barbra Streisand. As she got all teary-eyed, presenting the honors to Streisand, one knows that the tears were owing to her pleasure and not for the loss.
