Slumdog Millionaire won yet another award, this time SAG’s top award for ensemble cast last night at the 15th Annual Screen Actor’s Guild Awards.
“I just hope that I don’t wake up tomorrow and someone says ‘Hey you were dreaming,'” the film’s Freida Pinto said backstage.
In the night’s other categories, Meryl Streep of Doubt and Sean Penn of Milk took lead actor honors. Kate Winslet won the supporting actress prize for The Reader, while Heath Ledger became the first posthumous SAG winner for his supporting role as The Joker in The Dark Knight. Co-star Gary Oldman accepted the award on his behalf:
“It is a great honor to be asked to accept this award on behalf of Heath Ledger,” he said. “He was an extraordinary young man and an extraordinary talent.”
On the TV side, AMC’s Mad Men was named best drama and NBC’s 30 Rock took top comedy honors, while Hugh Laurie of House and Sally Field of Brothers & Sisters took best actor honors on the drama side and 30 Rock’s Alec Baldwin and Tina Fey took top honors on the comedy side.
