The 18th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards was surely a night to remember as we saw our favorite actors and actresses dazzle on the red carpet into The Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles. On Sunday evening, The Help took home some big wins, defeating The Artist and The Descendants for outstanding performance by a cast in a motion picture. Co-stars Octavia Spencer and Viola Davis won top honors for their roles in the categories of best supporting actress and best actress.

On the red carpet, Colombiana’s Zoe Saldana rocked a Givenchy haute couture dress, while Glee star Amber Riley showed some skin in a Badgley Mischka halter gown. The beautiful bride in Bridesmaids actress Maya Rudolph didn’t win an award for her role, but she did play a funny game with the audience as she asked them to take a drink every time Martin Scorsese was mentioned. Other stars in attendance included Dancing with the Stars winner, J.R. Martinez and two-time SAG Award winner, Don Cheadle. See what your favorite stars wore in our slideshow!
