The 23rd Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards (SAG) ended on a high note with Taraji P. Henson’s drop the mic moment following her acceptance speech alongside fellow actors Janelle Monae and Octavia Spencer. Henson stars as Katherine Johnson in Hidden Figures which earned the Screen Actors Guild Award for outstanding performance by a cast in a motion picture Sunday night, beating out Moonlight, Manchester by the Sea, Fences and Captain Fantastic.
She dedicated a passionate speech that highlighted the women who are hidden figures no more: NASA computers Johnson, Dorothy Vaughan and Mary Jackson.
“This film is about unity. We stand here as proud actors thanking every member of this incredible guild for voting for us, for recognizing our hard work. But the shoulders of the women that we stand on are three American heroes: Katherine Johnson, Dorothy Vaughan, and Mary Jackson. Without them, we would not know how to reach the stars.”
“These women did not complain about the problems, their circumstances, the issues. We know what was going on in that era. They didn’t complain. They focused on solutions. Therefore, these brave women helped put men into space. We cannot forget the brave men that also worked with us. God rest his soul in peace, John Glenn.”
“This story is of unity. This story is about what happens when we put our differences aside and we come together as a human race. We win. Love wins every time.”
“Thanks so much for appreciating these women — they are hidden figures no more.”
