Betty White was funny and charming as she took home the Best Actress in a TV Comedy award (Hot in Cleveland) beating out Jane Lynch, Tina Fey, Sofia Vergara and Edie Falco. White had the audience in stitches as she flirted with her naked man-trophy saying, "Oooh! I can't say thank you enough."
While Natalie Portman's acceptance speech at the Golden Globes was partly ridiculed for her endless laughter at her own joke about becoming pregnant by Benjamin Millipied (her real-life fiancé who plays a character in Black Swan who is not interested in sleeping with her).
Instead, Portman threw many for a loop when she used a cuss word when giving thanks for her Best Actress in a Film award, stating "I'd like to thank my parents, who taught me never to be an a-hole."
Colin Firth took home Best Actor in a Film for his role in The King's Speech and joked that he was appreciative that security had let him in the building for the SAG awards.
Of course there were some snubs including red-hot Jane Lynch and Chris Colfer of Glee who lost out to Betty White, Alec Baldwin (30 Rock) and the cast of Modern Family.
The Social Network was also a bit of a surprise as it left the SAG awards without even a single solid bronze trophy.
