Jessica Chastain scooped her first-ever win at the 29th Screen Actors Guild Awards on Sunday night.

She beat an impressive field including: Emily Blunt – The English, Julia Garner – Inventing Anna, Niecy Nash-Betts Dahmer – Monster and Amanda Seyfried – The Dropout.

Later, Niecy Nash, Bob Odenkirk, Jamie Lee Curtis and Abbott’s Elementary stars Janelle James and Quinta Brunson delivered the iconic “I’m an Actor” monologues featured at the beginning of each show.
