17th Annual SAG Award winners
The 2011 Screen Actors Guild Awards were announced on Sunday – January 30 – at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles.
‘The King’s Speech’ came out as the big winner of the night with two awards. The film picked up Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture and Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Leading Role for Colin Firth.
Other winners in the evening included Natalie Portman, Christian Bale, Betty White, and Alec Baldwin.
- SAG Awards.
Colin Firth picked up the Outstanding performance by a male actor in a leading role award for ‘The King’s Speech’, and the film’s ensemble cast was honoured in the Outstanding performance by a cast in a motion picture category – the closest the SAGs have to Best Picture.
Traditionally, the choices of the Screen Actor’s Guild predict the Academy Award winners by an accuracy of around 75% – so could this signal that ‘The Social Network’ isn’t a shoe-in for Best Picture after all?
