Natalie Portman won the Screen Actors Guild award on Sunday for outstanding performance by a female actor in a leading film role for ‘Black Swan.’
The win solidifies her front-runner status heading into the Oscars. She also won the Golden Globe for the role as well playing a prima ballerina decending into madness. Portman, who is expecting her first child after meeting her fiance on the set of ‘Black Swan,’ was competing against Annette Bening for ‘The Kids Are All Right,’ Nicole Kidman for ‘Rabbit Hole,’ Jennifer Lawrence for ‘Winter’s Bone’ and Hilary Swank for ‘Conviction.’
The awards — which dole out honors in both TV and film — are being held at the Shrine Exhibition Hall and telecast live simultaneously on TNT and TBS. A win in the feature film categories is especially coveted: It can be a precurser to Oscar gold. We’ll carry all the breaking news and headlines here on Awards Tracker.
