‘The Help’ Wins Three Awards at SAG Awards
Published at
Screen Actors Guild(LOS ANGELES) — The Help was the big winner at the 18th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards, held Sunday at the Los Angeles Shrine Exposition Center. Perhaps surprisingly, it received the award for outstanding performance by a cast in a motion picture, defeating awards-season favorite The Artist. In addition, Viola Davis and Octavia Spencer earned acting awards for their performances in the film.
The Artist did win one award: Jean Dujardin took the trophy for outstanding performance by a male actor in a leading role. Beginners star Christopher Plummer triumphed in the supporting male actor category.
On the TV side, HBO’s Boardwalk Empire received two awards, including an individual trophy for Steve Buscemi as well as the prize for outstanding performance by an ensemble in a drama series. ABC’s Modern Family received the award in the comedy ensemble category.
