Dame Helen Mirren delivered a heartfelt and hilarious acceptance speech at last night's Screen Actors Guild Awards, dedicating her Life Achievement Award to her fellow actors.

During the speech, Mirren gave a sweet shout-out to fellow Brits Olivia Colman, Helena Bonham Carter, Michaela Coel, Kelly Reilly, Vanessa Kirby and Killing Eve's Jodie Comer.

"I joined our tribe of rogues and vagabonds a long time ago and it is you actors that I want to thank. Your perception, your emotional generosity, your great intelligence, your incredible energy, and your helpless dedication to our chosen profession," she said.

She also said that her personal "mantra" throughout her career has always been: "Be on time and don't be an ass." Mirren, 76, went on to poke gentle fun at herself by saying: "I hate to say the word 'SAG' at my age – it's always 'S-A-G' for me."

Other winners at the SAG Awards included Will Smith for King Richard, Jessica Chastain forThe Eyes of Tammy Faye, Michael Keaton for Dopesick, Ariana DeBose for West Side Story and Kate Winslet for Mare of Easttown. 

CODA's Troy Kotsur made history by becoming the first deaf winner of an individual SAG Award. CODA, a coming-of-age movie with a predominantly deaf cast, also won the outstanding cast in a motion picture prize. 

Squid Game, Netflix's hit South Korean drama, also made history by becoming the first non-English language series to win any SAG awards. Its leads Lee Jung-Jae and Jung Ho-Yeon accepted awards for outstanding performance in a drama series.
