Downton Abbey pulled off a shocking win – though definitely not an undeserved one – when they nabbed the Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series award at the 2013 Screen Actors Guild Awards held January 27, 2013. The cast of the critically acclaimed series looked a bit overwhelmed and shocked as they accepted the award onstage.
 
Phyllis Logan (‘Mrs Hughes’) represented the group, saying, “We are so not expecting this. Oh! Shut the French windows, honestly.”
 
“We would like to thank, well, first of all the SAG for even bothering to consider us against this fantastic category that we’re in. We’re just absolutely overwhelmed by it all,” offered Logan.
