Baby Reindeer star Jessica Gunning lands top gong as Brit stars walk the red carpet at SAG Awards
JESSICA Gunning led the way at the SAG Awards as she scooped a top gong at the prestigious ceremony.
The annual awards honour actors from across the globe, and saw many Brits take to the famous red carpet.
Actress Jessica, 38, has been enjoying a lot of success after playing stalker Martha in Baby Reindeer.
Last night was no different, and the talented actress scooped the gong for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Television Movie or Limited Series.
Accepting her award, Jessica said "Wow, thank you so much. Wow. I feel like such a lucky bunny to even be in this room, let alone be nominated or up here, honestly."
She continued: "When I first started acting, I had an office job alongside acting for about eight years.

"It's a very geeky thing to admit but in the mornings I used to go into work and look at a PowerPoint presentation, it was like a positive thinking vision board of all the things that I wanted to do and the people I wanted to meet or work with."
Jessica was up against fellow nominees, Kathy Bates (The Great Lillian Hall), Cate Blanchett (Disclaimer), Jodie Foster (True Detective: Night Country), Lily Gladstone (Under The Bridge), and Cristin Milioti (The Penguin) for the award.
The star went on to thank those who had worked with her on Baby Reindeer, including creator and co-star Richard Gadd.
"Thank you to everybody involved in Baby Reindeer for changing my life, thank you to Richard Gadd for making my dreams come true, I will never ever forget Baby Reindeer or playing the part of Martha," she said.
"Thank you to my team and my family back home, I love you and cannot wait to celebrate with you."
Concluding her speech, she said: "Honestly, genuinely, this means the world to me so thank you so much."
Earlier in the evening, Jessica had wowed on the red carpet in her floor length black gown.
She was joined by fellow Brits Millie Bobby Brown and Cynthia Eviro.
Both actresses looked equally stunning in their dresses, as they flew the flag for Britain.
It was also a good night for Irish actor Colin Farrell who won the award for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor.
"I have to thank my sister who I've worked with for 22 years," he said in his acceptance speech.
"I never thank her publicly,' he admitted.
"She's not my assistant,' he added. "She's my] sister, she's family, she's a producer."
