Members of the Screen Actors Guild proved far more inclusive than their film academy counterparts Saturday night, honoring a diverse array of actors during their annual awards show at the Shrine Auditorium and making a pointed contrast to #OscarsSoWhite.

"Look at this stage," “Orange Is the New Black” star Laura Prepon said, motioning to the show's diverse cast while accepting the TV comedy series award. "This is what we talk about when we talk about diversity. Different race, color, creed, sexual orientation."

Idris Elba, who won two awards Saturday, put it more succinctly, making a play on words: "Welcome to diverse TV."

SAG Awards voters gave awards to several actors of color, including "Beasts of No Nation" standout Idris Elba, whose failure to secure an Oscar nomination helped fuel this year's continued #OscarsSoWhite backlash.
