The Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Leading Role is an award presented annually by the Screen Actors Guild to honour the finest male acting achievements in a motion picture in a lead role. The award is presented at a ceremony alongside the other guild awards since the awards inception in 1994

History

A total of 14 Actors have been presented to 13 different actors over the 14 years of the awards existence, accounting for repeat winners. The first recipient of the Actor was Tom Hanks for Forrest Gump and the most recent recipient was Sean Penn for Milk. There has never been a tie for the award. The category stands alongside the Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Leading Role - Motion Picture, Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Supporting Role - Motion Picture and Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Supporting Role - Motion Picture as one of the awards presented by the Screen Actors Guild to honor single performance in a motion picture.

In addition, only four actors who've won this award have not gone on to win the Academy Award for Best Actor in a Leading Role. These actors were Benicio del Toro for Traffic (who won for Best Supporting Actor), Russell Crowe for A Beautiful Mind, Daniel Day-Lewis for Gangs of New York, and Johnny Depp for Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl.
