F. MURRAY ABRAHAM: Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Thank you, SAG. Thank you, HBO. This was the best job I ever had. And not only --
not only because of this really remarkable, wonderful family of actors, but because Mike
and David. And Mark pulled together an international company of technicians and
actors, and we all lived together in the same place. We all ate together, and we all
worked together. So this is not only for the actors, this is for the entire company. This
is a wonderful time. But I'd like to send out a prayer out to the earthquake victims in
Syria and Turkey and the prayer for peace in Ukraine and Russia. (Inaudible)
JENNIFER COOLIDGE: Wow. Wow. You know -- wow. I don't know why this is -- I -- um -- it's been a very special year. You know, it's overwhelming and "The White Lotus" -- a great part that went on for two seasons and it just -- HBO giving me the thumbs up to let me do it and -- you know, I just -- I just want to say -- um, I want you all to know that I am just so grateful -- so grateful. You know, Mike White you know, you can give money to friends and do nice things for them, but -- and people love money, you know -- whenever I can, when your friends are broke, you can give them money and stuff. The best gift you can give someone is to change someone's perspective for the better and view life in a different way and that's what Mike White did for me. And so, you know, HBO, Casey Bloys and Francesca Orsi and Norah Skinner, thank you. And I just, I want to say thank you Johnathan Weinstein, thank you Jacob Fenton. Thank you, Tiffany Cruise, for keeping me going here. What I really want to say is -- what I really want to say is, you know, I had these amazing parents and they had this incredible gift and a thing they -- it was impossible for them to lie. They just couldn't do it, you know what I mean. Never. Never. They just never lied, except that my father, one day -- the school principal came to my first-grade class and said that I needed to be called to the office. I went to the office and she said, you know, your father is here. And my father was sitting there and he goes, yeah, Jenny, we have to go, and she said -- but the principal said, well, Jennifer, get well. And I didn't know what that meant. I got in the car with my dad and he -- he was driving and he said, I'm never going to tell a lie again, but we're going somewhere really cool. And he drove me to the place -- it was a fluky thing in Massachusetts, it was the Charlie Chaplin film festival. He got me out of my first-grade class to do it and I answer to God, that seeing Charlie Chaplin for the first time and having that experience as my love of film, it's my love of actors, all of that came from my first grade. So, anyway -- thank you. My beautiful date -- my wonderful date Tim Bagley is my date, and it's what best describes our 20 years. Thank you, you are a wonderful date tonight.

JASON BATEMAN: You did say my name, right? Oh, thank you.
Thank you to anyone in this room that voted for me. And anybody at home that did, you've given me a chance to say kind of a final thank you to not only the people that watch this show, because if you didn't, we wouldn't be here. And I get to say thank you to my wife, Amanda, my two kids at home, Maple and Francesca, they made me feel like I was a good dad even though I was gone for six months every year, so they're better actors than I am.
Ted, where are you? Ted Sarandos gave me all the trust that I asked for, and I just can't thank you enough, buddy, truly.
Laura and Julia, and the rest of the cast taught me so much and made the show everything that it is.
Chris you -- Chris Mundy and your writing staff wrote incredible stuff that we all got to enjoy, myself included. You made the show incredible.
And, finally, to the crew. It's just as you guys know who are lucky enough to work on great projects, that was a great project because it was a great crew. It was a great family. People treated each other well. People had pride in what they were doing, and that's it.
I mean, if you can have harmony on a set, you can enjoy what you're doing. We only get paid for about 75 percent of work. You won't get fired if you only do 75 percent, but the only way to get to a hundred percent is if people really like where they're at and they like each other and they treat each other well, and we did there, so, thank you guys. I'm going to miss you all a lot. And thank you all.

QUINTA BRUNSON: Wow, guys, wow, thank you so much. Just, that's what I need to say first, thank you so much. What an honor to be honored by our peers in this way. I know for me, especially, this means a lot because being a part of this ensemble means the world to me. I, unfortunately and fortunately, spend a lot of time on both -- on three sides of this, producer and creator, and when I get to be a part of this ensemble, it allows me to -- that wasn't a humble brag. It's the worst.
But when I get to be a part of this ensemble, these people bring me back down to earth. They make me a better actor. They allow me to become an actress that I'm proud of. Which sometimes acting feels like the hardest, most -- the part ever my job that I could tune out, but I don't want to. I want to be an actor, and I want to be a good one. And to be part of this ensemble makes me a better actor every single day.
So thank you for recognizing the work of these amazing people. They are the best and they are so fucking funny all the time, y'all. They're so funny. They really are so funny and good at acting.
I'm in awe of all of them at every single turn. And we just want to say thank you And honored to be in a category with such amazing shows with amazing actors, peers of ours.
The Peer Award hits different, don't it? I feel good. I know, hey, girl! Thank you. I feel like...five, four, three, two, one.
Thank you! Thank you, everybody!

CHRIS MACDONALD: Hello, everyone, I get to work with Jean Smart, I'm a lucky guy. She couldn't be here tonight. I'm going to read her message to you all. I'm so sorry I can't be with you tonight. I would like to acknowledge my brilliant HACKS' cast. I'd like to first acknowledge my fellow nominees, you rock, all your work was brilliant. And I would like to thank my cast and crew, HBO, Universal, my representatives and tonight especially, I'd like to honor all of the guest stars that appeared in Season 2, whether it was one scene or one line. I think we all know how hard a job that is. You have all made our show richer, funnier, more real, and I can't thank you enough for that. I would also like to thank our guest stars who were on a little longer. Susie Essman, Devon Sawa, Ming-Na Wen, Polly Draper, Martha Kelly and others I know I'm leaving out. Weird. So, you are all phenomenal and I truly appreciate you. Conner and Forrest, that's her boys, you are everything, my everything, and I love you so much. All my love, Jean. Congratulations, Jean Smart.
JEREMY ALLEN WHITE: Ay, yi, yi, thank you. Thank you, thank you. My God. This is from my peers. This is from the actors. I love actors. I love what I do. I feel so lucky to be able to do it.
Right now I'm working on the show "The Bear," it's got a lot of heart, that is no accident. Chris Storer, Joanna Calo, John Landgraf, the crew, biggest hearts in the business. And I really, I think that that translates, you know. I think that that -- I think that that connects and thank God for that. And to all of you who make things here, that make me feel a little less lonely, that make me feel a little more connected, more understood, and a lot more understanding, I thank you so much. That's why I love this. Ezra, Louie, Addison, you rock my world.
Thank you, guys. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
JESSICA CHASTAIN: Oh my goodness. Thank you so much, wow, wow wow. Thank you to the Screen Actors Guild Awards. I just have to say, I want to recognize my fellow nominees, Amanda, Emily, Julia, Nicey. I have seen all of your performances and I am in awe of you and your talent. Yes. They're amazing. I need to thank PIAS and Chris and Keith and everyone at Showtime because the only reason I'm up here is because they convinced people to watch the show, and I'm so grateful to them and my show Runner and David classer, Andrew Lezar Josh Brolin, John Hillcoat the show exists because of your talent and I am so grateful to you. I share this with Michael Shannon, who I believe is one of our greatest working actors, and it was a dream collaboration from day one and I wouldn't have gotten to day two without his support. And I'm doing a show right now in New York, I'm doing A Doll's House, there's my plug if anyone wants to come see it. And every day after the show, I get the opportunity to meet people at the stage door. I get from people a lot of actors who tell me their stories and it reminds of when I was in college. Philip Seymour Hofmann came to speak to my class, and he told us of all of his frustrating stories about auditions and he encouraged us to keep going even when we felt like no one was watching us. At the end of the talk, he said I look forward to working with each of you. It really shocked me because it was like he brought it into being and a few years later. It came true and I had the opportunity to do a play with him. And I'm telling this story now because it reminds me of how powerful our mind is and that we are what our thoughts create. So, I just want to tell everyone who might be struggling at home, to all of the actors that I get to meet, keep going, you are one job away. I look forward to working with you. I'll see you on set. And I love you. Thank you so much.

SAM ELLIOTT: Wow. I wonder if anybody else is going to read anything tonight. I do this, because I didn't expect to be up here, and I've got 43 minutes -- seconds to say this in. And I've already wasted a half of that.
What can I say 45 seconds after just receiving the most meaningful acknowledgment of my 55-year career? From a group of my peers, many of whom I don't even know or know only from afar as a fan who respects their work. Not time to say enough.
But I can say thank you, and I can tell you that I'm honored and grateful to be in your company, whether in this audience or watching at home.
After seeing the work of my fellow nominees, I'm not even sure I should be standing up here. I'm sure I'll get over that.
I'm going to treasure this guy, this gal, because it comes from all of you, my brothers and sisters from SAG-AFTRA. I'll treasure it as a constant reminder of 1883, and what a gift it was to all of us on both sides of the camera.
To my incredible cast mates, there's a piece of this for all of you, not only for who you are, but for your beautiful work.
