Having been one of the recipients in this category, she gave a shoutout to her alum, Jodie Foster, who was the category’s first-ever recipient. She shared via EW,
“At the very first SAG Awards, the award for Female Actor in a Leading Role in a Motion Picture went to the incredible Jodie Foster.”
However, the lady in the subject seemed to have missed everything and was seen asking the person sitting next to her. She enquired, “What? What did she say?”
Chastain, meanwhile, continued her statement.
“I was honored to win this award two years ago, and tonight, on this 30th anniversary, I’m thrilled to welcome the next member to the club.”
She added,
“By the way, the club meets the last Wednesday of each month for a different activity. Laser tag, escape room, ax throwing. See you Wednesday, Jodie!”
The True Detective: Night Country actress bagged the award for portraying the titular role in Nell (1994). Whereas, the presenter handed the statuette to Lily Gladstone for her role in Killers of the Flower Moon. While Jodie’s history with the award show is quite special, she revealed that she was shocked to hear when she won in the Leading Actor (Female) category.

The 61-year-old actress in an interview with Netflix’s Tudum reminisced her time about winning in Female Actor in a Leading Role in a Motion Picture category at the 1995 SAG Awards.
She shared,
“I first heard about my win the next morning. I’d never heard of the nomination, so it was kind of a shock as if someone had made a mistake.”
Talking about her performance, she shared,
“Nell was a performance that was life-changing for me personally but wasn’t necessarily a critics’ favorite. It meant a lot that fellow actors from my very own guild felt moved enough to honor me at [the] first-ever event.
The 1994 drama film revolves around her character, Nell, who grew up in isolation in a remote cabin, following the death of her mother. Due to seclusion, she develops her own way of language and behavior. The movie was a box office success, earning over $106 million worldwide.
