The 17th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards were held on Sunday, January 30th, 2011 at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles.

The recipient of the Guild’s Lifetime Achievement Award was Ernest Borgnine. SAG President Ken Howard said this of Borgnine, who won an Academy Award®, a BAFTA and a Golden Globe® for his role in Marty:

“Whether portraying brutish villains, sympathetic everymen, complex leaders or hapless heroes, Ernest Borgnine has brought a boundless energy which, at 93, is still a hallmark of his remarkably busy life and career. It is with that same joyous spirit that we salute his impressive body of work and his steadfast generosity.”
