The 4th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards® aired live on TNT from the Los Angeles Shrine Exposition Center on Sunday, March 8, 1998.

While The Full Monty took home the ensemble film award, Helen Hunt and Jack Nicholson took home The Actor for their work in As Good as It Gets, a feat repeated at the Academy Awards. In fact, the individual categories accurately predicted Oscar night, as Robin Williams and Kim Basinger took home the supporting statuettes for the work in Good Will Hunting and L.A. Confidential respectively.

E.R. and Seinfeld added more trophies to their mantles.

Elizabeth Taylor was unable to attend due to a hospitalization, so screen legend Gregory Peck accepted the Life Achievement Award on her behalf.
