2013 Screen Actors Guild Awards - The Winners

The SAG awards were handed out tonight in a brisk and pleasing ceremony that entertained without too many surprises.  In fact, the only two wins I didn’t predict were Brian Cranston for Male Actor in a Drama Series (I expected Damian Lewis to win for Homeland) and Downtown Abbey for Ensemble in a Drama Series over Homeland.

I was however very happy for Ben Affleck, whose Argo won the night’s top prize, setting the stage for a possible Oscar upset in a short few weeks.
