Quentin Tarantino's World War Two movie “Inglourious Basterds” won its biggest award so far Saturday, taking the top prize at the Screen Actors Guild awards. Jeff Bridges and Sandra Bullock were hailed as best movie actor and actress of 2009 on a night where no single movie dominated but which lined the two stars up for likely Oscar glory in March. “Inglourious Basterds,” a violent and darkly comic revenge fantasy, won for best ensemble for a multinational cast that included American Brad Pitt, Germany's Diane Kruger and Austrian Christoph Waltz, who also added the SAG best supporting actor trophy to his slew of awards. “If you look at my career, no-one would have predicted this,” the Sandra Bullock told reporters, referring to the clutch of awards she has won for her performance. “I was lucky that I wanted to better my work, and that I was given the opportunity,” she said, saying she has now learned to say “no” to mediocre parts. Bridges' performance as a drunken country singer in “Crazy Heart” has brought the best accolades of a career that started when he was a baby. Bridges, 60, was given a standing ovation on Saturday. “I love being an actor, pretending to be in the shoes of other folks,” he said, saying the array of stars at the SAG dinner were like “a big family.” Comedy actress Mo'Nique took home the supporting actress award for playing against type as an abusive mother in “Precious.” SAG also hands out awards for television, with AMC's stylish 1960s series “Mad Men” won for a second year for best ensemble drama cast and the Fox quirky musical comedy “Glee” taking the award for best ensemble comedy cast in its first season. Tina Fey and Alec Baldwin continued their long streak of wins for best comedy actress and actor for NBC's “30 Rock.” Julianna Margulies won best TV drama actress for “The Good Wife” on CBS, while Michael C. Hall won for “Dexter.”
