A lot of actors spoke out last night.
The 2017 Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards took place in Los Angeles last night and reactions to Donald Trump’s #MuslimBan dominated the ceremony.
Two and a Half Men and That’s 70s Show star Ashton Kutcher was the host for the evening and he set the tone with these strong words about the current situation in the US.
