Best Actress For Berry

The last big awards of the season before the Oscars happened in America this weekend and the big winner from the evening it was Robert Altman's Gosford Park. Altman's period drama brought awards for Best Supporting Actress for Helen Mirren and Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble Cast. There were no real surprises in the main acting categories. Halle Berry picked up Best Actress, while the querulous antics of Russell Crowe failed to dent his appeal, winning him Best Actor for A Beautiful Mind. Britain held the lead in the Supporting categories with Sir Ian McKellen taking home the glories for Best Supporting Actor and Helen Mirren taking Best Supporting Actress. The awards are the only ones in which actors are honoured by their peers - more than 98,000 members of the Screen Actors Guild cast their vote in thie year's awards.
