SAG awards honor actors of color amid Hollywood diversity furor

By Piya Sinha-Roy and Nichola Groom LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Actors of color were the big early winners at Saturday's Screen Actors Guild awards, as Idris Elba, Queen Latifah and the cast of Netflix's "Orange is the New Black" were honored amid a furor over on screen diversity that has cast a shadow over Hollywood. Elba, a black British actor, won for his portrayal of a mercenary commander in Netflix's gritty West African war drama "Beasts of No Nation." "We made a film about real people and real lives, and to be awarded for that is very special because a lot of people were damaged from that," Elba said on stage.
