Hey guys, my name's Shona. As you'll see my blog mainly contains things to do with Darren Criss, Chris Colfer, Klaine, Miarren, Chill, Glee and then anything that usually captures my attention for 0.05 seconds.

@AwardsdailyNews Darren Criss says it’s been a great year for representation across the board when asked about being tut first Filipino-American to win the globes, critics choice and now SAG Award. Here he is backstage. @AwardsDailyTV #sagawards @sagawards
Darren Criss not only completed his awards sweep at Sunday’s Screen Actors Guild Awards for “The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story,” but he’s now the youngest winner ever in the limited series/TV movie actor category.
Criss, who turns 32 on Feb. 5, is the first person to win the award in his 30s and is nine years younger than the former record holder, Gary Sinise, who was 40 at the time of his victory for “Truman” in 1996. Sinise won a second statuette two years later for “George Wallace” and is twice in the top five youngest champs of all time.
Like the corresponding Emmy and Golden Globe categories, older actors rule this SAG Awards winners roll call, but the former two groups have given their awards to younger men. Criss is the second youngest Emmy champ behind Anthony Murphy (“Tom Brown’s Schooldays”), who was 17 at the 1973 Emmys, and is the third youngest Globe winner behind James Franco, who was 23 when he won for “James Dean” in 2002, and Jonathan Rhys Meyers, who was 28 during his victory for “Elvis” in 2006.
Criss, who was the predicted winner in our odds, was the youngest nominee by far in this race, up against 58-year-old Antonio Banderas (“Genius: Picasso”), 58-year-old Hugh Grant (“A Very English Scandal”), 81-year-old Anthony Hopkins (“King Lear”) and 64-year-old Bill Pullman (“The Sinner”) — all veterans that SAG voters typically go for. But he had enough heat with his Emmy, Globe and Critics’ Choice wins to overcome any age bias that may have been there.

yadivagirl replied to your post “So why do you think Darren mentioned Cunanan’s victims in his speech…”
I don’t think anything specific happened, but he has been sensitive to the fact that almost everyone impacted by Cunanan’s horror is still alive. His winning streak has kept the story alive, plus its availability on Netflix has them reliving it all over again. I think he feels bad for that.
True, and the more I think of it he has had a different group to thank or point to make in each speech this award season. He is doing a good job there.
Darren Criss has been awarded the Emmy, Golden Globe, SAG Award, and Critics’ Choice Award as well as the Gold Derby TV Award, OFTA Television Award, and Satellite Award for his portrayal of Andrew Cunanan in The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story. CONGRATULATIONS, DARREN!
