I'm very happy and very proud. In doing the Ellen Show this afternoon -- WOW. Michel is in Paris, and the kids are doing a dance show for the school, so that's where he is. Someone has to be with the kids! I called him this morning, he's so happy for me, for Jean, for all the cast. and we're so happy for John and Penelope and Missy as it's really an ensemble. And Uggie of course. I should call Uiggie, this awards season such a lot of work for him, he's probably sleeping. I will start thinking about wardrobe tomorrow, depending on what happens. If it happens, look for a nice dress to wear, so I can be pretty on the red carpet." -- Merle Ginsberg Kenneth Branagh, My Week With Marilyn -- outstanding supporting actor in a film: "I am so grateful to the Screen Actors Guild for recognising my work, and that of the extraordinary cast and especially the remarkable performance of Michelle Williams.

To me to be among these amazing actors, it's a double honor. I'm overwhelmed by the whole thing. [Laughs] I've been an actor since I was a kid, grew up in the theater, I was 17 when I did my first play, O'Neill's Ah Wilderness -- I thought I wanted the rest of the world to get to know my work. Everyone knows how tough the competition is in the United States for any artist. So to have a place amongst so much talent I feel truly blessed." -- Merle Ginsberg PHOTO GALLERY: View Gallery SAG Awards: The Nominees Related Topics SAG Awards SAG Awards 2012
