The big winners at Saturday’s SAG Awards headed into the press room after picking up their statues. Alec Baldwin and Tina Fey were both recognized for their work in 30 Rock, while Christina Hendricks and the cast of Mad Men spoke to the press without Jon Hamm, who was onstage presenting. Diane Kruger and her Inglourious Basterds boys were so excited after their win for Best Ensemble Cast, telling us they texted Brad Pitt to share the good news. Drew Barrymore was likewise thrilled with her latest honor, after picking up a Golden Globe the week before for Grey Gardens.
Jane Lynch lead the cast of Glee, as her costars Dianna Argon, Cory Monteith, Matthew Morrison, and Jessalyn Gilsig clutched their Actor statues. Crazy Heart’s Jeff Bridges sweetly brought his wife onto the press room podium to have her answer questions beside him, crediting her with his success and the raising of their three daughters. Mo’Nique was also thankful to her husband in her remarks following her win for Precious, saying that they get their emotions out during special “bathroom talks.” Kevin Bacon had nothing but glowing words for his own wife, Kyra Sedgwick, after a visibly emotional acceptance speech onstage. Sandra Bullock stuck with the theme after already thanking her “hot” husband Jesse James, admitting she’d rather attend events for his work any day over awards shows. There was a whole lot of love coming from the winners - make sure to check out all the night’s honorees!

The SAG Awards took over LA’s Shine Auditorium Saturday night to honor the year’s best acting. Once the posing on the red carpet was finished, the show started right off with the announcement of Alec Baldwin’s win in the category of Outstanding Performance in a Comedy Series. His costar Tina Fey also took home an Actor statue for her role in 30 Rock, bounding onto the stage with energy despite having had just two hours sleep the evening before. Matt Damon and his wife Luciana watched things for their table, not far from where George Clooney was relaxing after his star-studded Haiti telethon. Further honors went to Dexter’s Michael C. Hall, who kept things light by thanking his wife and costar Jennifer Carpenter for choosing to wear her hot white dress. Julianna Margulies was singled out by her peers for her performance on The Good Wife, looking stunning in her Narciso Rodriguez gown. Betty White was the evening’s special honoree, as she was presented a Lifetime Achievement award by one of her many admirers, Sandra Bullock.
Glee, meanwhile, was crowned Best Ensemble Performance in a Comedy Series with Jane Lynch speaking on behalf of the cast - Cory Monteith later joked that she had the honor of talking after winning an arm-wrestling contest. The stars of Mad Men similarly took home Actor statues after being declared the Best Ensemble in a Drama Series. The honorees for miniseries and films were exactly the same as at last weekend’s Golden Globes - Drew Barrymore and an emotional Kevin Bacon won. Jeff Bridges picked up an honor for Crazy Heart, as did Christoph Waltz for Inglourious Basterds and Mo’Nique for Precious. Sandra Bullock won again for The Blind Side, thanking her husband Jesse James by saying, “I want you so much!” While Inglourious Basterds broke the trend by getting the Ensemble honors, it will be interesting to see if the consistency in individual awards translates into Oscar nominations when they’re announced on February 2.
