With a mind like a steel trap, he's an endless fount of movie and TV trivia, borne from a misspent youth of watching monster movies on TV, perusing the sun-faded goods at the local video rental shop, and staining his fingers with ink from the Video Movie Guide. Areas of interest include science fiction, film noir, horror flicks, '70s disaster pictures, Bond movies, '90s action, giant robots, dinosaurs, super heroes, and the exuberantly schlocky output of Cannon Films. He also enjoys both Star Trek and Star Wars when they're good, and maybe even more when they're bad. As a Canadian, he also has a vested interest in Canadian movies and TV shows, especially the cheesier ones dubbed "Canuxploitation." An expert on Marvel Comics, he has also written for the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe, and is a member of the Marvel Research Team. He can frequently be found pontificating on comic-book continuity or bemoaning the misfortunes of the Toronto Maple Leafs on his Twitter account.

The Actor Awards are being handed out in Hollywood tonight, as SAG-AFTRA honors its members for their outstanding work. Kristen Bell hosted tonight's festivities, which she has done two times before. And while many awards recognize individual actors for their performances, the Actor Awards also acknowledge the best ensembles of the year. This year's Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series went to AppleTV's Hollywood satire The Studio.

The Studio's ensemble includes Ike Barinholtz, Kathryn Hahn, Seth Rogen, and Chase Sui Wonders. It also means that the late Catherine O'Hara will be awarded posthumously; earlier in the evening, O'Hara also won the Actor Award for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Comedy Series, beating out castmate Hahn. Star and creator Rogen also took home Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Comedy Series, triumphing over co-star Barinholtz. The Studio, which debuted its first season last year and has been renewed for a second, beat out comedy heavyweights and previous Actor Award winners Abbott Elementary, The Bear, and Only Murders in the Building, as well as Hacks, which has been nominated three times but has yet to notch a victory.

Who Were the Nominees for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series?

It was a murderer's row of nominees this year, with three past winners and one three-time nominee, but it was ultimately The Studio, which has also claimed a truckload of Emmys and Golden Globes in its inaugural season, that stood triumphant. The other nominated ensembles were:

Abbott Elementary – Quinta Brunson, William Stanford Davis, Janelle James, Chris Perfetti, Sheryl Lee Ralph, Lisa Ann Walter, and Tyler James Williams

The Bear – Lionel Boyce, Liza Colón-Zayas, Ayo Edebiri, Abby Elliott, Edwin Lee Gibson, Corey Hendrix, Andrew Lopez, Matty Matheson, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Oliver Platt, Sarah Ramos, Ricky Staffieri, and Jeremy Allen White

Hacks – Rose Abdoo, Dan Bucatinsky, Carl Clemons-Hopkins, Paul W. Downs, Hannah Einbinder, Mark Indelicato, Jean Smart, Megan Stalter, and Michaela Watkins

Only Murders in the Building – Michael Cyril Creighton, Beanie Feldstein, Jermaine Fowler, Selena Gomez, Jackie Hoffman, Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Dianne Wiest

This is the 32nd time the Actor Awards have been handed out, but it's the first time under their new name; they were previously known as the Screen Actors Guild Awards. The name has been controversial with SAG-AFTRA's membership, who did not vote on the change.

Stay tuned to Collider for future updates.
