In what might accidentally be the perfect visual metaphor for the debate surrounding the award ceremonies this year, Susan Sarandon crashed the cast of Straight Outta Compton’s party at the Screen Actors Guild Awards on Saturday.

Key members of the cast for the N.W.A biopic posed for photographers, only for Sarandon to pop up, mouth agape, behind them a la Benedict Cumberbatch.

Diversity was a hot topic at the ceremony, with Idris Elba quipping “Welcome to diverse TV” on stage and Orange is the New Black’s Laura Prepon saying: “Look at this stage, this is what we talk about when we talk about diversity.”

A racially-conscious variant of the Bechdel Test was put forward this week, named after Selma director Ava DuVernay and stipulating that a film must include ‘African-Americans and other minorities have fully realized lives rather than serve as scenery in white stories’.

In other key photo news from the ceremony, these two hung out:
