British stars Daniel Day-Lewis and Julie Christie were among the winners at the 14th annual Screen Actors Guild Awards.

Day-Lewis scooped the Best Actor gong for his role as a Texan oil prospector in There Will Be Blood.

He dedicated the award to the late Heath Ledger, saying: "In Brokeback Mountain, he was unique, he was perfect. That scene in the trailer at the end of the film is as moving as anything I think I've ever seen."

Julie Christie won Best Actress for her portrayal of an Alzheimer's sufferer in Away From Her, while American Gangster star Ruby Dee beat favourite Cate Blanchett in the Best Supporting Actress category.

Javier Bardem picked up the Best Supporting Actor prize for No Country for Old Men, which also won Best Picture and Best Ensemble Cast.

The ceremony was the first big awards bash of the season after the Golden Globes show was replaced with a press conference due to the ongoing WGA strike.

The SAG was granted a waiver in return for the guild's support of the writers' action.

Ryan Gosling paid a special tribute to pal Heath Ledger at the Screen Actors Guild Awards in Los Angeles on Sunday - by wearing a special black ribbon on his lapel. The actor's sister Mandy designed the subtle black bow for the Lars And The Real Girl star because she felt Ledger's death should be acknowledged on the red carpet. Gosling's sibling, who was his 'date' to the awards, says, "We just had to mark something terrible has happened." And the actor himself used interest in his black ribbon to urge the media to leave those grieving Ledger's shock death last week to mourn in peace. He said, "They (media) should leave all the people in his life alone. It's terrible." He wasn't the only one with Ledger on his mind - Best Actor winner Daniel Day-Lewis dedicated his award to the Brokeback Mountain star.
