Prince remembered at The Screen Actors Guild is quite special.

By self definition, The Screen Actors Guild is Actors honouring fellow Actors.
I was hoping to see him but with baited-breath but there it was, Prince included in the Memorium of the Screen Actors Guild awards, which was prefaced by "This has been a year of staggering losses. Here are just a few of those performers who changed our world, and were proud to say "I am an actor." I think it that recognition is quite special, for Prince to be included in this list of unforgettable actors, knowing how under-appreciated he often was for his acting contributions.
It's also the only time in the Memorium the sound of applause in agreement.
It really warmed my purple heart and triggered the purple tears all at the same time.

Dance where y'are, just groove y'all.

It was quite moving to see him included. I was hoping they would feature a clip from his guest appearance on the New Girl TV show, for a change. Thank you SAG Awards for remembering our Prince! cool

Me too nod and especially about a clip from New Girl too, as it is something more recent. But still, definitely a lovely inclusion to have him shown there. Really nice to see that recognition. love2

I was also wondering if he would be included, and glad to see that he was. Small correction: it was the first time in the memorial piece that you heard applause, but there was also applause for some of those that followed, like Gene Wilder and Carrie Fisher. I'm glad they mute the applause somewhat, though, because a memorial piece shouldn't be a popularity contest.

That is correct, I posted immediately before watching the rest of the memorium but you are correct, up until that moment the audience was quiet, and then Prince was the first applause, then Gene Wilder and Carrie Fisher as you mentioned. That's an interesting point of view of an applause during a memorial piece as I would never akin it to a popularity contest.

Yeah. Same here. I am going to record the Grammys to ensure I see it. I didn't even realize Prince would be represented in the SAG awards In Memoriam piece.

Welcome to "the org", Mumio…they can have you, but I'll have your love in the end nod

^^ I didn't either, which is why it seemed extra special - we expect it from music award programs, and rightfully so, but was really glad to see his name shown there nod

So nice that they honored him. Bittersweet though. Wish he were still here.
