The Help was the big winner at the Screen Actors Guild awards Sunday night, taking the trophies for Lead Actress, Best Supporting Actress, and ensemble cast.

The Dreamworks/Touchstone adaptation of the Kathryn Stockett novel of the same name has had a strong awards season showing in the acting deapartment thus far. SAG winner Octavia Spencer already won the Golden Globe for Best Suporting Actress, and is an Oscar favorite in the same category. The Help is going into the Academy Awards with four nominations, including one for SAG winner Viola Davis and a Best Picture nod.

The SAG awards mirrored the Golden Globes in awarding Jean Dujardin a Lead Actor Prize and honoring Christopher Plummer for his supporting work in Beginners.

On the television side, Boardwalk Empire -- which was unsucessful at the Golden Globes -- took the ensemble cast award, and Steve Buscemi won the top acting prize.
