LOS ANGELES — SAG-AFTRA (sagawards.org) presented its Actor statuette for the outstanding motion picture and primetime television performances of 2012 at the “19th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards” last night. 

Honored with individual awards were Daniel Day-Lewis, Anne Hathaway, Tommy Lee Jones and Jennifer Lawrence for performances in motion pictures and Alec Baldwin, Bryan Cranston, Kevin Costner, Claire Danes, Tina Fey and Julianne Moore for performances in television. 

The Actor for a motion picture cast performance went this year to “Argo”, while the Actors for television drama and comedy ensemble performances went this year to “Downton Abbey” and “Modern Family.” The honors for outstanding action performances by a stunt ensemble in film and television were awarded to “Skyfall” and “Game of Thrones.” More than 100,000 active members of SAG-AFTRA nationwide were eligible to vote for the recipients.
