February 23, 2004 — Johnny Depp defied conventional wisdom Sunday and won the SAG Award for Best Actor.
Johnny Depp poached some unexpected plunder at the Screen Actors Guild Awards. He was the surprise best-actor winner for "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl" at Sunday's guild event, Hollywood's last major film honors before next weekend's Academy Awards.
Depp, who did not attend the awards ceremony Sunday, beat out Sean Penn, who had been the favorite to win for "Mystic River." The guild's other film prizes went to the Oscar front-runners: Charlize Theron as best-actress for the serial-killer drama "Monster," Tim Robbins as supporting actor for the dark murder thriller "Mystic River" and Renee Zellweger as supporting actress for the Civil War epic "Cold Mountain."
