Many of Hollywood's best and brightest attended the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards on Sunday morning.
The 30th annual awards were the first since the SAG-AFTRA strikes, which brought Hollywood to a standstill as more than 11,500 Writer's Guild of America members stopped working over pay disputes.
The strikes went on for 118 days before ending in November 2023.
As such, most of the writers, producers, directors and actors gathered inside Los Angeles' Shrine Auditorium and Expo Hall for the SAG Awards spent a large chunk of the year not working.
Months later, stars of the big and small screen walked the red carpet to celebrate the best on-screen performances of the last year — but not without addressing the elephant in the room.

While this particular awards ceremony has no official host, the two-time SAG Award winner Idris Elba opened the ceremony and acknowledged what the lost year has been like for those in Hollywood.
"It is especially meaningful to be here with us all together to for this occasion after going through a very difficult time with the strike," the actor said. "I want to take this moment to honour and appreciate all of you both here and watching at home who stood up for SAG-AFTRA in solidarity and support. So, thank you very much."
