The movie starred Michael Keaton, Mark Ruffalo and Rachel McAdams. “Spotlight,” about the Boston Globe’s probe of child abuse in the Catholic Church, beat out hip-hop biopic “Straight Outta Compton” for best film ensemble. That is in stark contrast to the Oscars, where no actors of color are nominated this year for the industry’s highest honors. Leonardo DiCaprio, Brie Larson and the cast of “Spotlight” - all white actors - won the top three film awards of the night, but the rest mainly honored diverse cast and roles.

LOS ANGELES - “Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to diverse TV,” Idris Elba joked on stage after winning twice at Saturday’s Screen Actors Guild Awards, where actors of color claimed a slew of wins amid a furor in Hollywood over the lack of on- screen diversity.
