Eva Longoria

The Screen Actors Guild (SAG) awards night on Sunday was a glamorous affair.

Here's a look at the highlights of the night and of course, the winners.

We begin with a gorgeous Eva Longoria, who easily walked away with the most compliments for her silvery Georges Hobeika gown with a plunging neckline.
