“Shōgun” won big at this year's Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards, taking home four prizes.

The FX series picked up the coveted Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series award at Sunday's ceremony.

There were also acting wins for stars Anna Sawai and Hiroyuki Sanada, and during the pre-show segment, the programme's stunt team were recognised with the Outstanding Action Performance by a Stunt Ensemble in a Television Series honour.

Accepting their ensemble prize, Sanada acknowledged making the programme had been a "gamble".

He told the audience at Los Angeles' Shrine Auditorium: "Thank you so much for recognising us. This is so special because it is from you guys. Thank you, FX and creator Justin, Rachel for respecting our culture and belief in us.

"It was a great journey and 70% Japanese, with subtitles, must have been a big gamble for them. They were so brave but 'Shōgun' and this award is showing that acting is a universal language. Thank you so much.“

Elsewhere at the ceremony, Selena Gomez admitted it was "weird" for “Only Murders in the Building” to be honoured with the Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series prize, particularly with co-stars Steve Martin and Martin Short being absent, meaning the latter was also unable to accept his Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Comedy Series award, marking his first win at the ceremony at the age of 74.

Like Martin, “Hacks” star Jean Smart was also unable to be at the ceremony to pick up the female equivalent award.

Other winners in the TV categories were Colin Farrell from “The Penguin” and “Baby Reindeer's” Jessica Gunning, who took home the Outstanding Performance in a Television Movie or Limited Series honours.

Meanwhile, “Conclave” secured the night's biggest prize in the movie categories, Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture, and the Leading Actor and Actress prizes went to Timothée Chalamet for “A Complete Unknown” and Demi Moore for “The Substance”, respectively.

In his speech, Chalamet revealed he hopes to be viewed as one of "the greats" in the future.

He said: "I can't downplay the significance of this award because it means the most to me and I know it is a subjective business but the truth is I'm really in pursuit of greatness.

"I know people don't usually talk like that but I want to be one of the greats, I'm inspired by the greats that are here tonight.

"I'm as inspired by Daniel Day Lewis, Marlon Brando, Viola Davis as I am by Michael Jordan and Michael Phelps and I wanna be up there so I'm deeply grateful.

"This doesn't signify that, but it's a little more fuel, a little more ammo to keep going, so thank you so much."

Supporting actor honours went to Kieran Culkin for “A Real Pain” and Zoe Saldana for “Emilia Perez”, while Jane Fonda was honoured with a Lifetime Achievement award.

The event was hosted by Kristen Bell, who kicked off proceedings by performing a parody of her “Frozen” song called “Do You Want to Build a Snowman?” - her version was called “Do You Want to Be an Actor?”

It was backed by a video montage of some of the famous audience members in their earliest roles.
