'King's Speech,' Firth & Portman win again at SAG

firth-kingsspeech.jpgThe Hollywood awards season edged closer to the merciful end tonight at the Shrine Auditorium. "The Kings Speech" picked up the Screen Actors Guild's equivalent of the best picture Oscar. Colin Firth and Natalie Portman picked up the top actor awards. (Firth, noting the star power in the room, first thanked security for allowing him in. Portman thanked SAG for enforcing the rules on hours and school tutors when she was a child actor on Hollywood sets.) Melissa Leo and Christian Bale won the supporting awards for "The Fighter." List of winners

Also: "The Social Network" didn't win at SAG, but star Jesse Eisenberg hosted "Saturday Night Live" last night and got a visit from Mark Zuckerberg (brief ad to start.)
