2011 Screen Actors Guild Awards Nominees Have Been Unveiled
Natalie Portman was among the big winners at the 17th Annual Screen Actors Guild awards, held this evening in Los Angeles. The Oscar nominee — who has already won a Critics’ Choice and Golden Globe award — was awarded Outstanding Leading Actress for her portrayal of paranoid ballerina Nina Sayres in the Darren Aronofsky drama ‘Black Swan.’
Meanwhile, ‘The Fighter’ cleaned up the supporting categories, with Christian Bale and Melissa Leo winning Outstanding Supporting Actor and Outstanding Supporting Actress, respectively. All three actors are heavy favorites heading into the 83rd annual Oscars, airing Feb. 27 on ABC.
The ceremony kicked off with the award for Outstanding Actor in a Drama Series, which went to a “very nervous” Steve Buscemi for his performance on HBO’s ‘Boardwalk Empire.’
‘Boardwalk Empire’ also won the award for Outstanding Ensemble in a Drama Series, ousting expected winner ‘Mad Men.’
Meanwhile, Julianna Margulies took home her second-consecutive award in the Outstanding Actress in a Drama Series category for her critically acclaimed turn as Alicia Florrick on ‘The Good Wife.’
On the comedy side, Alec Baldwin was once again awarded Oustanding Actor in a Comedy, marking his fifth-straight win in the category and 14th nomination overall, while Betty White won Outstanding Actress in a Comedy for ‘Hot in Cleveland.’
‘Modern Family’ won Outstanding Ensemble in a Comedy Series, beating last year’s winner ‘Glee.’
Rounding out the television categories were Al Pacino, who won the Outstanding Actor in a TV Movie or Miniseries award for ‘You Don’t Know Jack,’ and Outstanding Actress in a TV Movie or Miniseries winner Claire Danes (‘Temple Grandin’).
Earlier in the ceremony, Oscar-winning actor Ernest Borgnine, 94, was given a lifetime achievement award for his contributions to movies and television.

Hot on the heels of the Golden Globe nominations, the 17th annual SAG Award nominations have been announced! The Fighter and The King’s Speech led with four nominations each, and while there are many similarities to the Golden Globe list, I’m relieved to see some differences, like the additions of True Grit actors Jeff Bridges and Hailee Steinfeld.
Notably absent is Inception, except for its presence in the best stunt ensemble category, while I’m again surprised to see Javier Bardem shut out for best actor for Biutiful. Over on the TV side, the Betty White cable comedy Hot in Cleveland got lots of love, but aside from that, the names are pretty familiar to awards season. To see the full list of the Screen Actors Guild Award nominations, just read more.
