Joel and Ethan Coen’s No Country for Old Men won big at last night’s SAG Awards, with Javier Bardem scoring the Actor for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Supporting Role and the entire cast—including fellow nominee Tommy Lee Jones and presenter Josh Brolin—assembling on stage to accept the night’s biggest award, Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture.

It was no surprise when Daniel Day-Lewis (There Will be Blood) and Julie Christie (Away from Her) won the awards for actors in a leading role, with veteran Ruby Dee taking home the supporting actress Actor for her turn in Ridley Scott’s American Gangster.

In television, “The Sopranos” won accolades for its final season; Edie Falco and James Gandolfini both took home awards, as did the entire cast for Ensemble in a Drama Series. On the more comedic side, the cast of “The Office” took home the Actor for Ensemble in a Comedy series for the second year in a row, while Alec Baldwin and Tina Fey won for their roles in “30 Rock.”
