Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri was the big winner at the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards, picking up three prizes.

The comedy-drama scooped the coveted Outstanding Cast in a Motion Picture accolade, as well as Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Leading Role and Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Supporting Role for Frances McDormand and Sam Rockwell respectively.

Frances - who beat off competition from the likes of Dame Judi Dench, Sally Hawkins, Margot Robbie and Saoirse Ronan to win her award - praised the "tsunami" of the film's script as she accepted her honour, and also praised young actors.

The 60-year-old star said: “Representation — those tireless men and women who represent us truly — our desires, our dreams, our individual strengths, and our ethical beliefs: to them, we owe a great deal. To mine, Frank, Bryan, Simon, full credit, gentlemen.

“And to serving the word. When Martin [McDonough] wrote Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, he did not sketch a blueprint. He wrote a meticulously crafted a tsunami, and then he allowed his troupe of actors to surf it into the shore...

"I come out of the woods every few years. There’s a lot of young one’s coming out, too, and they need doorstops, too.”

Frances was also tasked with accepting the ensemble prize from Brie Larson and Lupita Nyong'o, and praised those working off camera on the movie.

She said: “All we kids of 'Ebbing, Missouri', would like to thank our papas, Martin McDonagh, Graham Broadbent, Ben Davis our cinematographer, and Gregory, our editor. You made us what we are.

"Our mamas, Mama Dixon, Sandy Martin! And our casting director, Sarah Finn. And our godparents, Fox Searchlight and Film4."

Elsewhere at the ceremony, which was hosted by Kristen Bell at the The Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles, Big Little Lies, Veep, and This Is Us all picked up two awards.

Nicole Kidman continued her run of awards season success when she beat her co-stars Laura Dern and Reese Witherspoon, along with Feud: Bette and Joan stars Jessice Lange and Susan Sarandon to pick up Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a TV Movie or Limited Series, while her 'Big Little Lies' on-screen husband, Alexander Skarsgard took the award in the male category.

Julia Louis-Dreyfus - who wasn't at the ceremony as she's currently receiving cancer treatment - picked up Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Comedy Series for her role in Veep, and the show also took Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series.

Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series went to the cast of This Is Us, while Sterling K. Brown was singled out for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Drama Series.

Gary Oldman's performance in Darkest Hour won him Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Leading Role and Allison Janney's turn in I, Tonya saw her awarded Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Supporting Role.

Morgan Freeman was the recipient of this year's Lifetime Achievement Award.
