The 32nd Annual Actor Awards, presented by SAG‑AFTRA, hit a poignant note Sunday when Catherine O'Hara received special posthumous recognition for her acclaimed work on "The Studio."

Her co-star and creator of the hit Apple TV series, Seth Rogen, accepted the award for outstanding performance by an ensemble in a comedy series and reflected on the late comedic actress' generosity and creativity.

Sunday's awards ceremony also marked a major turning point in the winner projections.

Ryan Coogler's "Sinners" continued its award season run, picking up the award for outstanding performance by a cast in a motion picture, while Michael B. Jordan delivered one of the night's biggest surprises by winning best male lead for his dual‑role performance in "Sinners."
