Therefore, the previous year during the 2023 SAG Awards, the event came under fire for a controversial decision they made. According to CBS News, the award show hired Mark Wahlberg to present the award for Outstanding Performance in a Motion Picture, to the mainly Asian cast of Everything Everywhere All At Once.
