Jeremy Allen White from The Bear won big once again at the 2024 Screen Actors Guild Awards!

During the 30th annual ceremony on Saturday, White, 33, won the award for outstanding performance by a male actor in a comedy series for his role as Carmen "Carmy" Berzatto in FX's The Bear.

He beat out Brett Goldstein of Ted Lasso, Bill Hader from Barry, Jason Sudeikis of Ted Lasso and fellow costar Ebon Moss-Bachrach from The Bear for the coveted prize.

"Thank you so much, first," White said. "I just have to say Ebon, you are so, so excellent in everything you do, especially in the second season of The Bear. The work you do is so incredible. I love you so, so much."

"And the rest of my cast and my crew. I'll be thanking you guys for the rest of my life," he continued. "I am so honored to be in this community. I've wanted to be a part of this community for my whole life. I had no backup plan. I started very young. And I'm just, I'm so incredibly touched to be standing in front of you all today. And to get this from my peers whom I admire so much."

White also shouted out his two kids, Ezer and Dolores, saying, "I love you. I love you. I love you."

"Wow, they give you a lot of time at this one but that's all I have. Thanks so much," White concluded.

White had been on a winning streaking leading up to Saturday's ceremony, receiving both an Emmy Award, a Critics' Choice Award and two Golden Globes. Although the FX series has allowed him the opportunity to add more accolades to his name, he has been putting in the work since his Shameless days.

He recently appeared in the critically lauded A24 drama film The Iron Claw, starring as pro wrestler Kerry Von Erich opposite Zac Efron's leading Kevin Von Erich.

Previously opening up to PEOPLE about how he stays "grounded" amid his rising fame, White replied: "I'm humbled. I’m humbled all the time by my life."

Besides White, the category was rather competitive this year, with Goldstein, Hader, Moss-Bachrach and Sudeikis also up for the prize.

Goldstein, 43, quickly became a breakout talent for his performance as Roy Kent on the Apple TV+ comedy Ted Lasso. He earned an Emmy Award for outstanding supporting actor in a comedy series for the show's first two seasons. He also serves as a writer on the show.

The series wrapped its third season in May 2023, though it's still uncertain if it will be the show's last hurrah.

Because of Goldstein's associations with major projects ranging from Shrinking to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the comedian has grappled with balancing expectations of his public persona with being true to himself. "I think there was a brief period of time where I thought, 'Oh, maybe I have to be more careful now.' But then I've thought, 'No.' Otherwise, why am I doing this?" he told GQ last year.

Months ahead of Saturday's big event, Hader wrapped Barry's fourth and final season in May 2023. Not only did the 45-year-old actor star as the titular Barry Berkman, but he also served as the show's co-creator and as one of its executive producers.

Hader previously told Entertainment Weekly that he believed the way the series wrapped "makes sense for the characters."

"That was a thing we talked about: It's the last season, so let's make sure we don't play it safe," he added. "Let's still take big swings."

For his work in The Bear, Moss-Bachrach, 46, has earned an Emmy Award and a Critics' Choice Award. He's also been nominated for a Golden Globe.

As he won his first Emmy last month, the Girls alum said his job on the popular series "is such a gift."

"It's such a privilege to work with these wonderful actors," he added. "We have the best crew. We have this incredible Chicago crew."

Sudeikis, 48, racked up several awards for his title role as Ted Lasso, including four Emmy Awards and two Golden Globe Awards. He helped develop the acclaimed Apple TV+ series in 2020 alongside Bill Lawrence, Brendan Hunt and Joe Kelly, based on a character the Saturday Night Live alum previously played in NBC Sports' promotional media coverage of England's Premier League.

In an interview with The Guardian last year, Sudeikis revealed that when developing the series, he shifted the direction of the once-"belligerent" Ted featured on NBC Sports amid rising political tension.

"It was the culture we were living in," he explained. "I'm not terribly active online and it even affected me. Then you have Donald Trump coming down the escalator. I was like, 'OK, this is silly,' and then what he unlocked in people … I hated how people weren’t listening to one another."

"Things became very binary and I don't think that's the way the world works," he continued. "And, as a new parent — [my now-ex Olivia Wilde and I] had our son Otis in 2014 — it was like, 'Boy, I don't want to add to this.' Yeah, I just didn't want to portray it."
