This weekend was all about the Screen Actors Guild Awards. Leonardo DiCaprio took home the Best Actor award for his much-talked about role in "The Revenant," while the "Spotlight" cast won the award for Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture. Unlike the Oscars, the SAG Awards boasted a refreshingly diverse list of winners, including Idris Elba, Viola Davis and the cast of "Orange is the New Black." The award show also gave us some great photos of our favorite celebs, including a priceless photobomb by Susan Sarandon and this epic selfie by Sophie Turner.

Rupert Grint (aka Ron Weasley) opened up about kissing Emma Watson (aka Hermione Granger) during an event at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, saying the whole experience was "surreal." J.K. Rowling also finally revealed the name and location of the North American wizarding school your non-muggle friends would have been whisked off to. Plus, we got a new glimpse at the "Harry Potter" spin-off, "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them," and it's everything we've been waiting for. We'd say it was a great weekend for "Harry Potter" fans.

On Saturday night, just one day before Vanessa Hudgens would star as Rizzo in "Grease: Live," the actress' father died after battling cancer. The former "High School Musical" star shared a touching tribute to her dad and decided to dedicate her performance in tonight's live Fox special to him. Stars and members of the radio and TV industry also mourned the loss of veteran broadcaster Terry Wogan, who died at the age of 77 after a "short but brave battle with cancer."

While you were binge-watching old episodes of "Louie," wondering when the next season was going to start, Louis C.K. was apparently busy making an entirely new show. That's right, the comedian dropped the first episode of "Horace and Pete," a show that focuses on C.K. and Steve Buscemi, two guys who run a bar together while other characters pop in to hang out and chat. In other TV news, Lauren Graham dropped a huge hint about the infamously mysterious final four words in "Gilmore Girls," revealing that they're not said by only one person. Can this reboot just start now?
