Full List of SAG Award Winners

Both Melissa Leo and Christian Bale were overt in praising The Fighter, in the strongest possible terms:

Bale was sad that co-star Mark Wahlberg didn’t get a nomination but said he'd share the win with him. He said actors seem to be overlooked for the quiet roles, and he himself had plenty of those. “This was a loud role and I fucking loved it!"

When asked why she thought The Fighter has been doing to well, she didn't mince her words: "The Fighter is reaching so many people because IT’S A GREAT F***IN' MOVIE!"
