Spotlight took home the Best Ensemble Cast SAG award, and the cast, including Michael Keaton, Mark Ruffalo, Rachel McAdams and John Slattery accepted the award.

Keaton discussed how the film, about a team of journalists uncovering the horrific truths of the Catholic Church's sexual abuse scandal, should be a lesson to people everywhere that they cannot be passive witnesses to tragedy.

“This is not only for the survivors of this horrific situation,” Keaton said. “But for me personally, this is really for the disenfranchised everywhere. This is for every Flint, Michigan in the world. This is for the powerless. This is for the powerful who take advantage of the powerless.”
