Thaddeus Stevens. But the film's strength in the Oscar best image competition has been delayed by its SAG throw reduction and by its beat at the arms of "Argo" at Weekend evening of Manufacturers Guild Awards.

Accepting the award, Affleck thanked not only the "Argo" stars who signed up with him on level but also all of the individuals who showed up in the movie, such as those whose conversation was in Farsi and accessories who didn't even talk. "They desired to destroy it to create the movie better," he said.

SAG voters named Anne Hathaway female actor in a supporting role for her performance as Fantine in "Les Misérables." Hathaway made sure to thank her mother — also an actress — for voting for her, in addition to jokingly lauding the union for its dental insurance. "I got my SAG card when I was 14. It felt like the beginning of the world."

Day-Lewis, who throughout the awards season has been proclaimed the front-runner for the actor Oscar, continued his winning streak that began at the Golden Globes this month. Though "Lincoln" didn't win the cast award, he made sure to congratulate his fellow performers, proclaiming the statue "an ensemble award." (Jones, though, was not present to accept his statuette.)

Accepting his trophy, Day-Lewis described how he approached the daunting role. "For some reason, the guiding principle of the Hippocratic Oath kept nagging at me: First do no harm," he said. "And then it occurred to me that it was an actor that murdered Abraham Lincoln. Therefore, somehow it's only fitting that every now and then, an actor tries to bring him back to life again."
