18th Screen Actors Guild Awards Winners

Here's the list of winners and well I was way off with my predictions!. Anyway, here's the list of winners and some comments

Film

Best Performance by a Cast Ensemble
“The Help”

Best Performance by a Male Actor in a Leading Role
Jean Dujardin – “The Artist”

Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Leading Role
Viola Davis – “The Help”

Best Performance by a Male Actor in a Supporting Role
Christopher Plummer – “Beginners

Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Supporting Role
Octavia Spencer – “The Help”

Best Stunt Ensemble
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2

The Artist may have lost the top prize to The Help but they are still a winner with DuJardin pulling off an upset over Hollywood A-Listers George Clooney and Brad Pitt. This is clearly a sign how well loved The Artist is and there's no doubt in mind it will win the Oscar. My gusty prediction of picking McCarthy didn't happen and Spencer still prevailed and is now unstoppable to win her Oscar next month. Ditto Plummer (although fellow 82 year old Oscar-less Max Von Sydown could be a spoiler). Davis is also on track to win her Oscar with this major win.

TV

Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series
“Modern Family”

Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series
“Boardwalk Empire”

Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Comedy Series
Alec Baldwin – “30 Rock”

Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Comedy Series
Betty White – “Hot in Cleveland”

Outstanding Performance a Male Actor in a Drama Series
Steve Buscemi – “Boardwalk Empire”

Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Drama Series

Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Television Movie or Miniseries
Paul Giamatti for Too Big to Fail

Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Television Movie or Miniseries

Game of Thrones

Basically the same set of winners for the Series categories except Lange beat out last year's winner Margulies. Wow Baldwin won for 6 straight years already? I like him in 30 Rock but this is too much adoration by the guild. I love Modern Family though so I'm glad they won again and had the kids do the acceptance speech. Overall, tepid choices SAG.
