Nischelle Turner looks at all the big winners and big moments from Sunday night's Screen Actors Guild Awards. --REPORTER PKG AS FOLLOWS-- (red carpet nat) ACTORS, ACTORS, EVERYWHERE! THE 19TH SCREEN ACTORS GUILD AWARDS WAS ABOUT "UNION" IN EVERY WAY. BOTH LEAD ACTRESS WINNER JENNIFER LAWRENCE OF "SILVER LININGS PLAYBOOK" AND ANNE HATHAWAY, WHO WON SUPPORTING ACTRESS HONORS FOR "LES MISERABLES," TALKED ABOUT GETTING THEIR SAG CARDS AT AGE 14. "It felt like the beginning of the world. I have loved every single minute of my life as an actor." "Tina Fey." THERE WAS LOTS OF LOVE FOR "30 ROCK," WHOSE SEASON FINALE IS THIS WEEK: TINA FEY WON HER FIFTH "ACTOR" TROPHY, AND ALEC BALDWIN HIS EIGHTH FOR THE SIT-COM... AND EVEN WHEN "MODERN FAMILY" TOPPED IT FOR THE COMEDY ENSEMBLE AWARD, THEY PRAISED "THE ROCK." "30 Rock and The Office -- you all have set the comedy bar so high." CAMARADERIE ALSO TOPPED COMPETITION AS THE CAST OF BRITISH IMPORT "DOWNTON ABBEY" PAID TRIBUTE TO THE SHOWS IT BEAT FOR DRAMA SERIES ENSEMBLE, INCLUDING "HOMELAND" AND "BOARDWALK EMPIRE." "We're just absolutely overwhelmed by it all." EVERYONE CHEERED FOR DICK VAN DYKE, HONORED WITH THE LIFE ACHIEVEMENT AWARD FOR MORE THAN A HALF-CENTURY OF ACTING, SINGING, DANCING, AND PRATFALLING HIS WAY INTO OUR HEARTS. "This very heavy object here means that I can refer to you as my peers." BEST ACTOR WINNER DANIEL DAY-LEWIS WAS QUICK TO SHARE CREDIT WITH THE ENTIRE CAST OF "LINCOLN." "Have no doubt that this is an ensemble award." THE ACTUAL ENSEMBLE AWARD WENT TO "ARGO," ADDING THAT PRIZE TO ITS GOLDEN GLOBE AND PRODUCERS GUILD AWARDS. DIRECTOR AND STAR BEN AFFLECK PRAISED, NOT ONLY HIS CAST, BUT... EVERYONE! "They wanted to kill it, to make the movie better, because that's what actors do, all over the world, every day -- god bless you, thank you so much for making the movies that you make, and the television you make..." IN HOLLYWOOD, I'M NISCHELLE TURNER. --ANCHOR TAG-- Only one movie in 80 years has won the Best Picture Oscar without at least a nomination for its director, but Ben Affleck's "Argo" appears poised to do just that. The night's other big winners included Bryan Cranston, who won an individual award for "Breaking Bad" -and- shared the ensemble prize for "Argo"... Anne Hathaway and Jennifer Lawrence, who became the oscar front-runners in their categories... and Daniel Day-Lewis, who seems to have a lock on the Best Actor Oscar. The last -eight- SAG winners for Best Actor have gone on to take the Academy Award, and right now, you'd be hard-pressed to find anyone who'd bet against Day-Lewis making it nine.
