Jason won his first ever Screen Actors Guild Award on Sunday night. He was nominated seven times in the past but never scored one of the coveted trophies.

Towards the end, he transitioned his focus to his wife, Amanda Anka, who attended their ceremony with him, and their two daughters, Frannie and Maple.
“I would like to say, specifically though, to my wife, my two daughters Amanda, Frannie and Maple,” he began. “Without you, none of it would be enjoyable, and it probably wouldn’t be possible.”
That’s when Jason started to get emotional. “I love you more than I even tell you I do. I’ll be home for kisses so don’t go to bed and Amanda pop a mint, I’m going to come give you yours in about five minutes,” he joked.
