And The Winners Are...
It should be noted that the Screen Actors Guild does NOT use titles like "Best Actress," but rather more PC phrasing like "Most Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor." And because this is the Screen Actors Guild, there are only categories for acting, divided between movies and television, and no evaluation for categories such as Best Picture or Cinematography. That said, here are the "most outstanding" performers of the evening.
