People Editorial Guidelines Published on February 27, 2022 10:01 PM Share Tweet Pin Email Photo: Rich Fury/Getty Succession has claimed the award for outstanding performance by an ensemble in a drama series — and fittingly, Logan Roy stole the show. The HBO series took the top prize at the 28th annual Screen Actors Guild Awards on Sunday, beating out fellow nominees The Handmaid's Tale, The Morning Show, Squid Game and Yellowstone. Star Brian Cox accepted the accolade with his costars surrounding him onstage, cursing as he struggled to take off his "F--- Off" mask. "I don't know if you can read this," he said of his explicit face covering, which had strong vibes of his foul-mouthed Succession character Logan Roy. Rich Fury/Getty Cox, 75, thanked his castmates and the show's casting directors, then took a moment to highlight the war in Ukraine. "It's really, really awful what's happening. It's particularly awful in terms of what is affecting the other people, particularly in our profession," he said. "The thing that's really distressed me is what's happening in Russia to my fellow actors and actresses and performers and writers and critics. They are told, under pain of high treason, that they cannot say a word about Ukraine, and I think that is pretty awful."

"Thank you."
