With a leading four nominations, A Star Is Born was hotly tipped to win big at the 25th annual Screen Actors Guild Awards at The Shrine Auditorium in LA.

But Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper's hit movie was snubbed once again as Black Panther took home the top honor on Sunday, while the A Star Is Born cast went home empty handed.

Black Panther's leading man Chadwick Boseman took the lead, as the Marvel movie's cast got on stage to accept their trophies for Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture.

Chadwick honored the groundbreaking superhero film with a stirring speech about being given the chance to 'create a world that exemplified a world that we wanted to see' even when the industry odds were stacked against them.

'To be young, gifted, and black, we all know what it's like to be told that there is not a place for you to be featured, yet you are young, gifted, and black,' he began.

'We knew that we had something that we wanted to give and to come to work with every day and to solve problems with this group of people every day, with this director.

That is something that I wish all actors would get the opportunity to experience. If you get to experience that, you will be a fulfilled artist.'
