Black Swan, The Fighter, The King's Speech and Boardwalk Empire rule the SAG Awards

With awards season it full swing it seems a day doesn't go by without another ceremony to honour the very best in film from the past twelve months, and this weekend was no different as the 17th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards were presented on Sunday night from the Los Angeles Shrine Exposition Centre. The King's Speech star Colin Firth was honoured with the award for Outstanding Performance for a Male Actor in a Leading Role, while Black Swan leading lady Natalie Portman took home the award for Female Actor. Christian Bale and Melissa Leo received both supporting actor gongs for David O. Russell's The Fighter, while The King's Speech received the award for Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture and Boardwalk Empire enjoyed success in the television field.
