She made it after all! Dick Van Dyke presents Mary Tyler Moore with lifetime achievement honour at SAG Awards

Mary Tyler Moore received the lifetime achievement award at tonight's 18th annual Screen Actors Guild Awards.

The 75-year-old actress famously 'turned the world on with her smile' as Mary Richards in her ground-breaking 1970s sitcom The Mary Tyler Moore Show. 

'MTM. There's probably not a person in the civilized world who doesn't know what that means,' said Dick Van Dyke, her former co-star in the equally appealing 1960s sitcom The Dick Van Dyke show, who introduced her.

Chemistry: Mary Tyler Moore with Dick Van Dyke in 1960

As she accepted her award, Moore revealed how the civilized world almost never did hear of MTM, who was told in the opening theme song of her show each week, 'You're gonna make it after all.' 

When she entered show business at age 18 in 1955, Moore said, there were already six others Mary Moores in the Screen Actors Guild. 

Told to change her name, she quickly added Tyler, the middle name of both her and her father, George. 

'I was Mary Tyler Moore. I spoke it out loud. Mary Tyler Moore. It sounded right so I wrote it down on the form, and it looked right,' she said. 

'It was right. SAG was happy, my father was happy, and tonight, after having the privilege of working in this business among the most creative and talented people imaginable, I too am happy, after all.' 

Before the awards show Van Dyke had stopped on the red carpet to remember working with Moore on his show. 

'She was 23 and had never done comedy. I never saw somebody pick it up so fast. I still have a crush on her,' he said. 

The show's audience, including Moore's former co-star Betty White, showered both her and Van Dyke with standing ovations, leading Van Dyke to remind them, 'I'm just a presenter.' 

Van Dyke and Moore were so believable as husband and wife Rob and Laura Petrie on The Dick Van Dyke Show that many viewers thought they were married in real life. 

As Laura Petri, Moore also turned Capri pants into a fashion trend during the show's run.
Van Dyke noted they fit her so well, which created such a concern during that more conservative era, that she was limited to wearing them in only one scene per show.

Initials: Kyra's design incorporates the initials of herself, husband Kevin Bacon and their children Sosie and Travis

The design incorporates the family's initials with two backwards K's, an S and a T.

'It's a family tattoo, it's all our initials K K S and T, she told E! Online's Guiliana Rancic during an interview before the show at The Shrine auditorium. 

She and Kevin are parents to 22-year-old Travis and Sosie, 19. 

Her stunning cutaway dress provided a perfect view of the simple inking.

Kyra arrived on the red carpet with husband Kevin Bacon, who wore sunglasses and a black suit and tie.

Both were among the presenters at the show and Kyra was also among the nominees for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Drama Series, for her role as persistent police detective Brenda Johnson on TNT's top-rated drama The Closer.

Starring in The Closer has meant that Kyra has had to relocate from her New York home to Los Angeles for at least seven months in the year to film the show. 

'I'll probably worry about getting work,' she told USA Today last year after announcing her decision to leave. 

 

Showing off: Kyra was asked about her new inking on the red carpetby E! host Giuliana Rancic

 

Thrilled: Kyra smiled broadly as she discussed her tattoo before tonight's SAG awards show 

'Knowing me, I'll be like, "This is so great, I'll be the lady who lunches and goes to exercise class and reads books." And then I'll wonder why the phone isn't ringing,' she added. 'There's a lot of fear about stepping into the unknown.'

The star also discussed her children's' experience growing up with famous parents. 

'We're pretty boring and normal,' she said. 'While it can never be normal for them because their parents are so much in the public eye, it's all they've ever known. But it's not a normal way to grow up, having people interrupting situations and not being anonymous. They've handled it so beautifully'

 

Ladies in red: Kyra looked much younger than her 46 years in the cutaway dress

'I'm having panic attacks, I thought I was in love, I got into this too fast': Kim Kardashian can't contain her tears as her marriage breaks down in reality show finale

The demise of Kim Kardashian's marriage to Kris Humphries has been growingly apparent to fans throughout the season of reality show Kourtney & Kim Take New York. 

And tonight's season finale revealed the moment where Kim finally realised her marriage is over -  admitting she tied the knot 'way too fast.'

In an emotional phone call to younger sister Khloe, the 31-year-old reality star broke down in tears confessing she was 'going crazy.'

 

Emotional: Kim Kardashian broke down in tears as she admitted her marriage was in trouble in tonight's episode of Kourtney & Kim Take New York

'We don't know what to talk about,' she confided to her sister about Kris. 'I don't know what to say.

'I'm not happy. I don't know what to do. I can't just go in there and tell him. I can't do this anymore.'

A sympathetic Khloe tells her to 'breathe,' adding: 'You went into this with your heart open. Everyone knows how badly he treated you. We just got caught up in your fairytale. And that's okay.'

'Do you not think I feel embarrassed that I fell in love and I thought I was?' Kim continues dramatically. ' I know in my heart. I feel awful I feel this way. I just know myself. It happened way too fast. I didn't know him.'

 

Emotional: Kim told her sister Khloe that she 'didn't know what to do' about her lack of connection to Kris 

 

Back to reality: Kim admitted she got caught up with the fairytale idea of a marriage

Kim's outburst came after she began to panic at Kris's intention to move his things into her house in Los Angeles.

'When I think about those boxes, I literally start to have these panic attacks inside. I'm trying not to show how strongly I feel about it,' she tells the camera, after informing Kris he would have to move the majority of his boxes to his home in Minnesota. 

'I don't want him to ship all his stuff to my house,' she added.

 

In pain: Kim confided in her sisters that she 'didn't know what to do' about her failing marriage to Kris

 

Boxing it up: A disagreement about the amount of boxes Kris wanted to move into Kim's home in Los Angeles provoked a row between the couple 

'You're not ready for someone in your life,' Kris retorted, while Kourtney was unimpressed with Kim's callous attitude and labels her a 'b****.'

The lack of perceived support from her sister sent Kim running to her dressing room to call Khloe, before Kim expressed her disappointment with her older sister.

'He has a good heart, he's a Christian, he's everything on paper that I want,' she said. 'I feel awful that I made him move out here. You don't think I feel bad that I invited all these people to this huge wedding? At 30 years old, I wanted to be married with kids and I failed at that.'

 

Words of wisdom: Scott Disick asked Kim if she realised she was married, when she complained that Kris wanted to bring all his boxes to her house

 

Sympathetic era: Kourtney tries to offer Kim the benefit of her advice after she admitted her marriage was suffering

And when she told Kourtney and her boyfriend Scott Disick that she just wanted Kris to move in 'with a small bag,' Scott asked: 'You know you're married right?'

Kourtney then apologised for calling Kim a b**** but explained she didn't understand her point of view.

'Imagine how you're making him feel if he's trying to make it work,' she pointed out. 

'I love Kris and I don't want to hurt his feelings,' agreed Kim. 'I feel like a failure and I don't know what to do.' 

 

Disagreement: Kim and Kris  agreed to try to spend more time together but their efforts backfired

 

Admitting defeat: A frustrated Kris ended up having to put his boxes into a friend's storage unit in the city

'I wanted babies and I wanted this fairytale,' she told the cameras. 'I had this vision of what my life was like. I wanted to be married by 30 and everything that I envisioned my life to be is not everything I wanted it to be.'

Kris seemed baffled by Kim's behaviour, complaining his wife was acting 'weird and distant.'

In frustration, he told a friend during a cab ride to put his boxes into storage: 'I'm just over her. I want to get a divorce.'

 

So over her: A frustrated Kris told his friend that Kim was acting 'distant and weird'

Things between the couple became increasingly uncomfortable when the Kim, Kris, Kourtney and Scott began to discuss their 'peak and pit' of their experiences in New York.

Kim described her 'peak' at seeing Mason every day and her pit as 'living with all of you,' as the camera panned to Kris looking crestfallen.

However, Kim's final conversation with Kris about their marriage was surprisingly not to be played out in front of the cameras. 

 

Miles apart: Kim said she would have 'the conversation' with Kris about her feelings away from the cameras in Los Angeles

''I live my life as such an open book . There comes a time when I get to have conversation with Kris privately. I need to go back to LA,' she said. 

'I was so excited about starting this new life in New York and it turned out to be nothing like I wanted it to be.'

Earlier in the episode, she decided to spend more time with her husband, but a joint workout class ended up going awry when Kim became annoyed by Kris's outspoken comments. 

'When I first met Kris, he had this outspoken personality,' she said.  'And I used to think it was so cute and endearing but maybe I'm the one who'd changed.'

 

End of the effort: Kim became annoyed with Kris during their joint workout session

 

Unimpressed: Kim told Kris she did not want to work out with him again after his outspokeness irritated her at the gym

She added: 'Something just feels so wrong and distant inside. Sometimes I feel just so dead inside. I haven't been myself here.'

A date at STK restaurant also went badly when Kris told his wife: 'I feel like lying on this,' gesticulating to the couch. 'I just want to take a nap.'

'This is our first date in ages and you want to take a nap?' Kim responded. 

 

Making an effort: Kris took Kim for a date in a restaurant as a last ditch attempt to save the marriage 

 

Sleep deprived? Kris irritated Kim by saying he wanted to take a nap on the restaurant couch

 

Disappointed: Kim tried and failed to connect with her new husband 

Despite the failure of her efforts to save the marriage, Kim was in retrospective mood about her husband at the end of the episode as the couple left New York. 

'No matter what happened between Kris and I, We shared something special and will always love and care about him,' she told the cameras before the couple departed from JFK airport. 

Elsewhere in the episode, Kourtney was initially dismissive of Scott's restaurant opening in New York, but soon came round to the idea that Scott is 'becoming a man.' 

Bringing him a bottle of champagne to the restaurant, she told him: 'I'm proud of you, you're really becoming a man, you're such a good dad and I love you.'

 

 

Supportive: Kourtney finally comes round to back boyfriend Scott's efforts to open a restaurant

The leather forecast is looking bleak... Hollyoaks actress Stephanie Davies hits the town wearing an ill-advised catsuit

It's a daring choice for any woman and has the potential for disaster no matter what you're figure. 

So full marks to Hollyoaks actress Stephanie Davies for at least attempting to pull off a faux leather catsuit, however her brave wardrobe choice didn't quite make the grade. 

The 18-year-old hit the town in Liverpool with her castmates from the show, including Gemma Merna and Annalise Appleton. 

Hell for leather: Stephanie Davies gets it wrong with an unflattering catsuit during a night out in Liverpool

Not quite making the grade: The actress's ensemble was overshadowed by her cast mates during the night out

But her ill-advised outfit left her standing out like a sore thumb among the other ladies. 

The leather number did nothing to flatter her great figure - the unusual choker detail doing little to improve the catsuit. 

Stephanie matched the outfit with a pair of cream peep toe heels. 

Bad choice: Stephanie's friend looked much better in her blue bandage dress

She joined the cast of Hollyoaks after appearing on BBC talent show Over The Rainbow. 

While she's been on the show, her musical career has taken a back seat but Stephanie insists she wants to carry on making music. 

In August 2010 she told Digital Spy: 'Obviously I'd still love to do musical theatre and I'm really into music - I write my own songs on the piano. But I'd love to stay in Hollyoaks for quite a while - longer than a year and hopefully two or three years.'

Girls night out: Gemma Merna (right) and Dani Lawrence, wife of Liverpool goalkeeper Brad Jones, were also out and about

Getting it right: The actress looked great in her pink number with matching white accessories

Meanwhile castmate Gemma Merna got it spot on with a pink shirt dress and white patent heels with a matching bag. 

The 27-year-old couldn't keep the smile off her face as she posed for the cameras during the gang's night out. 

Fellow Hollyoaks actress Annalise Appleton wore a velvet LBD and colour-coordinated her accessories to great effect. 

A dash of colour: Annalise Appleton enhanced her LBD with some brightly-coloured accessories

She tied a pink belt around her waist with a lime green bag and shoes with colours matching both the belt and bag. 

Dani Lawrence, partner of Liverpool goalkeeper Brad Jones also joined in the fun. 

She wore a chic, simple midnight blue dress with a blazer jacket and red heels covered in spiked studs.

And the winners are...Tears of shock and joy as The Help sweeps the boards at the SAG Awards

It was ladies’ night at the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards when the film The Help swept the boards.

The female ensemble cast walked away with three major awards - for leading actress, best supporting actress and ensemble cast.

There wasn’t a dry eye in the house when Viola Davis picked up her award for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Leading Role for her performance in The Help.

Davis accepted her award by paying tribute to veteran actress Cicely Tyson.

The 78-year-old wept as The Help star said: ‘I was eight-years-old when I decided to be an actor and I am just so privileged to be gazing on the beautiful face of the woman who  inspired me that beautiful day and that’s Cecilia Tyson.’

 

 

Emotions running high: Viola was visibly moved when her name was called out and right, celebrating with Octavia backstage  

Davis also paid tribute to The Iron Lady actress Meryl Streep, whom she pipped to the post to win the award.The two shared a screen a few years before in Doubt. 

Earlier in the evening Octavia Spencer was overcome with emotion as she won the SAG for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Supporting Role for her portrayal of sassy maid Minny Jackson.

Struggling to lift the statute, she accepted the award, saying: ‘Oh wow I need to work out a little more. That guy’s heavy.’

Spencer’s win comes just weeks after she won the Golden Globe for the same role in the film, which is based on the novel about African-American maids who take a stand during the Civil Rights era.

Spencer and Davis were back on the stage at the end of the night to accept an award for Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture for bringing the characters from the book to the big screen.

Actors Emma Stone and Jessica Chastain watched as Davis told their peers: ‘We arrived on the set in July 2010 with such [a] heavy load on our shoulder; such great expectations were already there for this book that was so loved.’

She added: ‘The stain of racism and sexism is not just for people of colour or for women. It’s all of our burden. It’s on all of us.’

 

 

 

Old friends: The Help cast mates Viola Davis, Emma Stone and Octavia Spencer introduced their film while Dallas co-stars Patrick Duffy, Linda Gray and Larry Hagman took on presenting duties

Lifetime Achievement: Veteran comedy actress Mary Tyler Moore was recognised for her work in film and TV

French actor swiped the leading actor award from under the noses of Hollywood’s biggest hunks – Brad Pitt and George Clooney.

And, true to his role as a silent star in The Artist, at first Dujardin didn’t know what to say when he took to the podium.

He eventually found the right words and said: ‘I was a very bad student. I didn’t listen in class. 

‘I was always dreaming…My teachers called me Jean of the Moon. I realise now that I never stopped dreaming.

'Thank you very much. Thank you for this dream.’

Beloved actress Betty White seemed perplexed when she was announced as the winner for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Comedy Series.

It’s not the first time the Golden Girl has won a SAG Award for her work in the TV series Hot in Cleveland. She topped the same category last year. 

White said: ‘I think they made a terrible mistake.’

She then added that the award also belonged to her co-stars Valerie Bertinelli, Jane Leeves and Wendie Malick.

But, ever the funny woman, she quickly quipped: ‘I’m not going to let them keep this but I’ll let them see it.’

Alec Baldwin was another previous winner who was crowned king of his category yet again.

The 53-year-old was given the statute for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Comedy series for the sixth year in a row for his work in 30 Rock.

The usually articulate star screamed ‘Oh my God’ several times like an overexcited teen. 

Baldwin, who plays Jack Donaghy in the hit sitcom, thanked the show’s writers, including co-star Tina Fey.

Other winners included Christopher Plummer who was honoured for his best supporting role in the film Beginners.

The 82-year-old jokingly said: ‘I just can’t tell you what fun I’ve had being a member of the world’s second oldest profession…’

Speaking of winning a SAG for the first time, The Sound of Music star said: ‘It’s like being lit by the Holy Grail.’

Another first time winner included Jessica Lange who was recognised for her role in the dark TV series American Horror Story.

The Oscar-winner said about the Ryan Murphy show: 'Thank you to FX and to all the crazy, wild, imaginative people who put this thing together. 

'It was a real leap of faith to jump into it, but it's been a wild ride.'

Before swigging from a bottle of what appeared to be vodka, Melissa McCarthy said: ‘You’d be surprised how much that comes up just in casual conversation because people like to throw that thing around.’
Backstage the jokes kept on coming as Alec Baldwin poked fun at being thrown off an American Airlines flight in December for not taking off his mobile phone when asked to.
The actor allegedly was engrossed in a game of Words With Friends at the time of the incident.
He told waiting reporters: 'I am still playing Words With Friends, but on Virgin Atlantic.'
