Awards   Jan. 29, 2012: Castmembers of "The Help" pose backstage
with their awards for outstanding performance by a cast in a
motion picture at the 18th Annual Screen Actors Guild
Awards. (AP)  Viola Davis and Octavia Spencer were the maids of
honor at Sunday's Screen Actors Guild Awards, where their Deep
South drama "The Help" won them acting prizes and earned the
trophy for overall cast performance.  Davis won as best actress
and Spencer as supporting actress for "The Help," while Jean
Dujardin was named best actor for the silent film "The Artist"
and Christopher Plummer took the supporting-actor award for the
father-son tale "Beginners."  The wins boost the actors'
prospects for the same honors at the Feb. 26 Academy Awards.  In
"The Help," Davis and Spencer play black maids going public with
uneasy truths about their white employers in 1960s Mississippi.
