Natalie Portman is Best Actress at the SAG Awards

The positively glowing Natalie Portman collected her first nomination and win at the 2011 Screen Actors Guild Awards for her mesmerizing performance in Black Swan. "To all the actresses in this category, and the performances this year in general, I'm so humbled to be among you," said Portman accepting the award for the Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Lead Role. "And I've been working since I was 11 years old, and SAG has taken care of me. They made sure that I wasn't working too long and made sure that I got my education while I was working. I'm so grateful to have this union protecting me every day."

"My fellow actors in the film - Mila, Vincent, Winona, Barbara - all of the dancers, everyone who helped me prepare for the film, Mary Helen Bowers who trained me for a year, and of course Darren Aronofsky our director who I love so much. My parents who always taught me to work my hardest and never be an [bleeped] - never acceptable. And my fiance, Benjamin Millepied, I love you very much. Thank you."
