The White Lotus  cast had a huge moment at Sunday night's SAG awards, but all eyes were on one particular cast member during the acceptance speech after the show won for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series.
The season 2 cast cheered and congratulated each other as they took the stage and gave F. Murray Abraham the honor of delivering the acceptance speech on their behalf.
In the speech, 83-year-old Abraham shared:
"This is the best job I ever had."He proceeded to gush over the cast as well as everyone involved in making the series a success.
"[Creator Mike White] and [Producers David Bernad and Mark Kamine] pulled together an international company of technicians and actors.""And we all lived together in the same place, we all ate together, and we all worked together.""So this is not only for the actors, this is for the entire company."Abraham then veered his speech to the deadly earthquake in Syria and Turkey and also shared a "prayer for peace in Ukraine."
He finished the speech by shouting:
"Union forever!"As touching as Abraham's speech was, Aubrey Plaza's demeanor throughout the delivery seemed to be the focus on social media.
Throughout the speech, Plaza appeared annoyed... more so than the typical Plaza glare portrays.
You can watch the acceptance speech below.

Viewers of the speech, however, were quick to defend Plaza and had theories to support their stance.
Some claimed she was irritated because her co-star Jon Gries grabbed her arm and whispered something to her. 
By her reaction, it appears he told her to fix her dress.

Elon Musk has spent the year picking fights, from health research funding to imagined productivity crises among federal workers and whether DOGE accomplished anything at all besides leaving chaos in its wake.
His latest grievance, however, is thinly disguised as grammatical. Specifically, he is once again furious that the Associated Press (AP) capitalizes “Black” while keeping “white” lowercase.

Folks, once again, continuity is more of a suggestion than a rule in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Marvel has officially confirmed that Chris Evans is returning as Steve Rogers in Avengers: Doomsday, and the internet has responded exactly how you’d expect: screaming, celebrating, arguing, and a very justified side-eye toward how Sam Wilson keeps getting treated.
The confirmation comes via a teaser now playing exclusively in theaters ahead of Avatar: Fire and Ash. There is no official online release, despite leaks circulating. If you didn’t catch it on the big screen, Marvel’s response is essentially: sorry, guess you had to be there.
