“Dream big, dream fierce.” – Viola Davis, The Help

It’s an appropriate motto for The Help cast, recognized for their work as an ensemble, the top honor of the night at Sunday’s 2012 Screen Actors Guild Awards.

The awards show gives actors a chance to honor their peers in a ceremony that often (historically) sheds light on who will go home with an Oscar next month.

And features an A-list red carpet, of course …
