Succession wins outstanding performance by an ensemble at SAG 2024
Closing its four-season run with a resounding victory, Succession clinched the outstanding performance by an ensemble in a drama series award at the 2024 Screen Actors Guild Awards. In a nostalgic reunion, the stars of Breaking Bad convened to present the trophy, with Bryan Cranston, Aaron Paul, Anna Gunn, Bob Odenkirk, and others commemorating their own show’s past win.
As Gunn started spelling out “ensemble,” citing “E” for “excitement,” Odenkirk humorously interjected, refusing to partake in the cheesy tradition of spelling out each letter, amusingly injecting irreverence into the moment.
Alan Ruck, known for his role as Connor Roy on Succession, graciously accepted the award on behalf of his fellow cast members, reflecting on the significance of the moment.
“One last hurrah, I think,” Ruck remarked. He added, “I think right now you’re looking at some of the luckiest people on the planet and some of the most grateful because not only did we get to all work on one of the best television shows, you know, maybe ever, we made friends for life.
And I think the magic of Succession was that the writing was so fabulous. It inspired all of us to bring our A-game from the very beginning. And we got off on watching each other work, and we caught lightning in a bottle. Lucky, you know? So, now we’re thrilled to be recognized by our peers.”
