Korean American actor Steven Yeun has won the Screen Actors Guild Award of the U.S. for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Television Movie or Limited Series for the Netflix drama "Beef."
He received the honor on Feb. 25 at the awards ceremony in Los Angeles.
Yeun beat out for the prize Matt Bomer of "Fellow Travelers," Jon Hamm of "Fargo," David Oyelowo of "Lawmen: Bass Reeves" and Tony Shalhoub of "Mr. Monk's Last Case: A Monk Movie."
Yeun thus grabbed this year all four major American awards for best actor in a limited series including the Golden Globe, Emmy and Critics Choice Award.
His "Beef" co-star Ali Wong also won the honor for female actor in the same category.
Released in April last year, the 10-episode drama was written, produced and directed by Korean American filmmaker Lee Sung Jin and features many actors of Korean origin including Yeun.
In the film category, Christopher Nolan's "Oppenheimer" won the top honor of Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture. Cillian Murphy won best actor for "Oppenheimer" and Lily Gladstone best female actor for "Killers of The Flower Moon."
