Frances McDormand received the SAG Award for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Leading Role for her performance as Mildred Hayes in THREE BILLBOARDS OUTSIDE EBBING, MISSOURI. During her acceptance speech, the actress praised screenwriter and Tony nominee Martin McDonagh for his work, sharing, "When Martin wrote THREE BILLBOARDS OUTSIDE EBBING, MISSOURI, he did not sketch a blueprint, he didn't string together a few words, he wrote meticulously crafted, a tsunami, and then he allowed his troupe of actors to surf it onto the shore."
