The Help” kicked azzzz at the 18th annual Screen Actors Guild Awards on Sunday.

The girls took home 3 of the nights top honors : best picture, best actress for Viola Davis (beating Meryl Streep) and supporting actress for Octavia Spencer.

Davis also spoke about following a dream.

“What is there but a dream? You can’t trade in your dream for another dream,” she said while accepting the best actress award. She ended with a word of advice: “Dream big and dream fierce.”

Octavia Spencer says, “It’s a society that tells you you’re no longer valuable at a certain age,” commanded the actress, who played a maid famous for her fried chicken and chocolate pie. “Or because of your weight.”

Nevertheless, Spencer went on to say that she wasn’t proud of her own weight—that she could lose a “little ’round the middle”—but that she still “feels” for women who starve themselves in Hollywood and wishes they wouldn’t.

The cast of “Modern Family” took home outstanding ensemble in a comedy series, and it was the younger actors who got the chance to accept the award.
