Picket lines and pissed off writers were nowhere to be seen at last night’s 75th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards. It was all glitz and glam as the biggest stars in Hollywood hit the red carpet for the first time this award season to honour 2007’s best in film and television.

Among the stars making their way down the SAG red carpet was the cast of ‘No Country For Old Men’ who took home the last and most coveted award of the night for Best Ensemble Cast in a Motion Picture.

Javier Bardem was named Best Supporting Actor for his role in the film and used his acceptance speech to candidly thank ‘No Country’ directors Joel and Ethan Coen.

“Thank you, guys, for hiring me, and thank you for taking the hard work of choosing the good takes instead of the ones where I really sucked,” he said.

The odds of winning Oscar gold are looking good for the Coen brothers as they just took home the top honour at Saturday’s Directors Guild Awards.

Another could-be shoe-in for Academy glory, Daniel Day-Lewis, was named Best Actor for There Will Be Blood. The veteran actor gave the most moving moment of the night as he dedicated his win to the late Heath Ledger, who was found dead last week.

“In Brokeback Mountain, he was unique…He was perfect,” Day-Lewis said according to E! Online. “That scene in the trailer at the end of the film is as moving as anything I think I’ve ever seen.”

Other big winners were Julie Christie, named Best Actress for ‘Away from Her’, and Ruby Dee, who took home the Best Supporting Actress for ‘American Gangster’.

The Guild also recognized the best on the small screen as The Sopranos cast earned the Best Ensemble, Drama Series honor and James Gandolfini and Edie Falco won lead actor awards.

30 Rock’s Tina Fey and Alec Baldwin also got nods for best actors in a Comedy series, while the cast of The Office was honored as Best Ensemble.
