Betty White was honored with her second consecutive SAG Award for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Comedy Series at the 18th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards. The actress was honored again for her role of Elka Ostrovsky on TV Land’s first scripted sitcom, ‘Hot in Cleveland.’
White was shocked as she accepted the SAG award, saying the presenters must have read the wrong name. The SAG Awards ceremony, which was held at Los Angeles’ Shrine Exposition Center on January 29, 2012, was telecast live at 8pm ET/5pm PT, on TNT and TBS.
Larry W. Jones, TV Land’s president, said “there are reasons that (Betty) White has been on television for over 50 years. She’s hilarious, her comedic timing is unmatched and there’s nothing she can’t do. We’re grateful to work with her on ‘Hot in Cleveland,’ and couldn’t be more proud of her achievements.”
