SAG Awards Spread the Wealth: 30 Rock, Modern Family, Homeland, Breaking Bad, Downton Win
The 19th annual Screen Actors Guild Awards were held Sunday night at the Shrine Exposition Center in Los Angeles, and NBC’s 30 Rock was TV’s only multiple winner, as both Tina Fey and Alec Baldwin grabbed bronze statues.
ABC’s Modern Family kept the Peacock’s soon-to-end sitcom from running the table, however, by winning best comedy ensemble.
On the drama side, SAG spread the wealth, with a different series topping each category.
Dick Van Dyke, meanwhile, was the recipient of this year’s Lifetime Achievement Award — and needs to be cast as Phil Dunphy’s grandfather now..
