After losing a key Oscar nomination, Argo continues its run of winning every other top prize.
 
The film claimed the Screen Actors Guild Award for Best Ensemble on Sunday, giving it yet another top prize as it heads into the Feb. 24 Oscars. The night before, it claimed the Producers Guild Award for Best Production.
 
The Oscar for Best Picture now looks like a sure-thing for Argo, which gained a massive influx of support throughout Hollywood after filmmaker Ben Affleck was snubbed for a directing nomination by the Academy.
 
There were no other major surprises among the film winners at the SAG Awards, and while many thought Silver Linings Playbook might take the ensemble award (including this awards season writer), Argo‘s win is the latest indicator that all competitors are falling away as the rescue drama roars toward Oscar night.
 
 
This year’s SAG honorees:
 
FILM
 
Best Ensemble
 
Argo
 
“I can’t believe I’m standing in the place where Daniel Day-Lewis just was. I feel like I’ll be a better actor just from the radiation,” said Affleck, accepting on behalf of the cast.
 
Best Actor
 
Daniel Day-Lewis, Lincoln
 
“It was an actor that murdered Abraham Lincoln,” Day-Lewis said, collecting the award. “And therefore it’s only fitting that every now and then an actor tries to bring him back to life again.”
 
Best Actress
 
Jennifer Lawrence, Silver Linings Playbook
 
“I earned my SAG card when I was 14. I did an MTV promo for My Super Sweet 16, and I remember getting it in the mail and I remember it being the best day of my entire life because it officially made me a professional actor, which put me in the category with all of you,” she said in her speech. “Now I have this naked statue, which means some of you even voted for me. That is an undescribable feeling.”
 
Best Supporting Actor
 
Tommy Lee Jones, Lincoln (not in attendance.)
 
Best Supporting Actress
 
Anne Hathaway, Les Miserables
 
“I want to thank my mother for voting for me … Or at least, she better have,” Hathaway said in her acceptance speech. Her mother, Kate McCauley Hathaway, is also an actress, and once played her daughter’s role of Fantine in touring productions of the Les Miserables stage show.

She has won four previous times for her role as TV-show producer and weirdo-enabler Liz Lemon in the series, which airs its final episode on Thursday. “It’s up against The Big Bang Theory,” she said in her speech. “So just tape The Big Bang Theory for once, for crying out loud.”

Actress in a Drama Series
 
Claire Danes, Homeland
 
“As a brand-spanking, or Spanxing new mom, I keep finding myself referring to the cliche that it ‘takes a village’ to raise a child, and the same is very much true of making a television series. It means everything to be here with my buddies, my cast, my brilliant cast.”
