Screen Actors Guild 2012 Winners

Below is a full list of the winners at the Screen Actors Guild 2012. I've included the TV winners despite the fact it's obviously American so some of the shows are less known to us on this side of the pond but in the main part most of them have made it over here. With the exception of Jean Dujardin pipping George Clooney for Best Male Actor, it was a big night for The Help as they swept up 3 of the main awards including the 2 for Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress (Viola Davis & Octavia Spencer respectively).

In the world of TV it was a big night for Steve Buscemi and the cast of Boardwalk Empire which has been critically acclaimed since it's release with Modern Family winning the Best Comedy Award (a programme I still to this day have never found funny).
