Last night, it was time for the annual Screen Actors Guild Awards and another big night for ARGO. After being snubbed for a Best Director nomination at the Academy Awards, Ben Affleck has steamrolled through the rest of the award shows by picking up a Best Director award at both The Critics Choice Awards and at the Golden Globes. With no directing awards up for grabs at the SAG awards (the Screen Actors Guild only honours…you know…actors), ARGO still managed to pick up the biggest award of the night as they won the Best Ensemble Award, the equivalent of Best Picture.
Other winners were Daniel Day-Lewis for Best Lead Actor, Jennifer Lawrence for Best Lead Actress, Anne Hathaway for Best Supporting Actress and Tommy Lee Jones for Best Supporting Actor. It seems like the acting awards are shaping up for the Academy Awards with Lewis and Lawrence being odds on favourites to win the two Lead awards. Nothing is done and dusted however as they still have to contend with the likes of Jessica Chastain and Hugh Jackman who might be able to create an upset.
