Plunging necklines, frills & thrills at SAG awards

The Screen Actors Guild (SAG) awards night on Sunday was a glamorous affair.

The who's who of Hollywood attended the SAG awards, which are a good indicator of Oscar success because actors in the US film and television industry make up the largest voting group among members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

Here's a look at the highlights of the night and of course, the winners.

We begin with a gorgeous Eva Longoria, who easily walked away with the most compliments for her silvery Georges Hobeika gown with a plunging neckline.

Another lady who grabbed attention was a visibly pregnant Natalie Portman. Portman was named Best Actress for her role as an unhinged ballerina in Black Swan.

The big winner was The King's Speech, which took home SAG's Best Actor prize for Colin Firth and movie ensemble acting award.

The supporting prizes went to Christian Bale and Melissa Leo for The Fighter.

In the television categories, the winners include the cast of HBO's drama Boardwalk Empire which won Best Ensemble in a dramatic series and the Best Actor award for Steve Buscemi. 

Julianna Margulies won Best Female Actress in a drama series for The Good Wife, Alec Baldwin won Best Actor in a comedy series for 30 Rock, Betty White won for her work on TV Land's Hot in Cleveland, and Modern Family which bested Glee to take home the award for Best Cnsemble in a comedy series.

In the picture: Actresses Sofia Vergara, Julie Bowen and Sarah Hyland hold their awards for outstanding performance by an ensemble in a comedy series for Modern Family.

Surprisingly, hot favourite The Social Network came away empty handed despite being nominated in two categories. The movie about the rise of Facebook had earlier won Golden Globe award for best drama.

In the picture: The Black Swan's Mila Kunis looked stunning in an Alexander McQueen outfit, while The Social Network's Justin Timberlake impressed in a suit.

Earlier we spoke about the highlights of the night.

While the winners took the main limelight, there were those like Glee's Lea Michele and Mad Men's Christina Hendricks who let their outfits do the talking.

How can the red carpet be complete without these veteran ladies?

Adding a dash of much-needed colour is Jennifer Lawrence who was nominated for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a leading role for Winter's Bone.

Helena Bonham Carter may be a very talented actress, but when it comes to fashion, The King's Speech winner is totally clueless.
