Netflix’s The Crown continues to add more jewels to its award season scepter. On Sunday night, the royal family drama scored two trophies at the 27th annual SAG Awards including Outstanding Ensemble in a Drama Series and Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor for Gillian Anderson. “Thank you Peter Morgan for…

UPDATED with full winners list: The Trial of the Chicago 7 won the Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture prize, SAG’s version of Best Picture, at the 27th annual SAG Awards on Sunday night.

The 27th annual SAG Awards are Sunday, with the one-hour ceremony set to air at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT simulcast at TNT and TBS.
