The Screen Actors Guild handed out its 2014 awards on Saturday night in Los Angeles.
"American Hustle" won Outstanding Cast in a Motion Picture, the SAG Awards' equivalent of Best Picture. David O. Russell's film, which stars Jennifer Lawrence, Christian Bale, Bradley Cooper, Amy Adams and Jeremy Renner, defeated "12 Years A Slave," "Dallas Buyers Club," "August: Osage County" and "Lee Daniels' The Butler" for the top honor.
Matthew McConaughey won Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Leading Role for "Dallas Buyers Club." McConaughey is favored to win the Best Actor Oscar at the 86th annual Academy Awards on March 2, but it should be noted that he didn't compete against Leonardo DiCaprio at the Screen Actors Guild Awards; DiCaprio's "Wolf of Wall Street" performance was not among the Male Actor in a Leading Role nominees.
Cate Blanchett was awarded Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Leading Role for "Blue Jasmine." Blanchett is heavily favored to win the Oscar in her category as well. Early film winners included Lupita Nyong'o, who won Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Supporting Role for "12 Years A Slave," and Jared Leto, who took home Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Supporting Role for "Dallas Buyers Club." As with Blanchett, both stars are expected to win corresponding awards at the 86th annual Academy Awards on March 2.
Bryan Cranston took home the award for Outstanding Male Actor in a Drama Series for his portrayal of Walter White on "Breaking Bad." The show was also named Outstanding Ensemble in a Drama Series. Dame Maggie Smith won the Outstanding Female Actor in a Drama Series for "Downton Abbey."
Julia Louis-Dreyfus ("Veep") and Ty Burrell ("Modern Family") won awards for, respectively, Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Comedy Series and Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Comedy Series. Burrell's series, "Modern Family," won Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series.
The SAG Awards, which turned 20 this year, announced its nominations in early December of last year. "12 Years A Slave" led all films with four nods, including Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture, the SAG Awards' equivalent of Best Picture. ("Dallas Buyers Club" and "August: Osage County" followed "12 Years A Slave" with three nominations each.) On the television side, "Breaking Bad" earned four nominations, including Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series, to pace all series.
Last year, Ben Affleck's "Argo" won Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture, one of three top guild honors the film earned in its lead up to winning Best Picture at the 2013 Oscars. ("Argo" also earned wins at the Producers Guild Awards and Directors Guild Awards.)
Other 2014 SAG Awards winners included the stunt ensembles from "Lone Survivor" and "Game of Thrones." The SAG Awards winners list is below.
