"Claire Danes paid tribute to her Homeland &amp;quot;buddies&amp;quot; at last night&amp;#039;s SAG Awards. The actress, who beat Jessica Lange, Maggie Smith, Michelle Dockery and Julianna Margulies to take home the prize for &amp;#039;Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Drama Series&amp;#039;, kissed co-star Damian Lewis before taking to the stage.  &amp;quot;That&amp;#039;s very cool,&amp;quot; Danes said. &amp;quot;This is amazing - thank you. Thank you very much. &amp;quot;As a brand spanking new mom, I keep finding myself referring to the clich\u00E9 of, &amp;#039;It takes a village to raise a child&amp;#039;, and the same is very much true of making a television series. It means everything to be here with my buddies, my cast, my brilliant cast.&amp;quot;  Danes continued: &amp;quot;I am the recipient of this incredible collaboration, and the success of my performance is hugely defined by that of those I work with, mainly Damian - the dark or light side of my moon, depending on how you look at it.&amp;quot; Danes went on to thank her other co-stars, even those she does not work with as much, saying: &amp;quot;We are so very connected. Morena [Baccarin], for example, runs my lines with me almost every night while making dinner for me, so I&amp;#039;m just so indebted to them.&amp;quot;  Danes - who remembered to thank her husband Hugh Dancy and newborn son Cyrus at the end of her speech - also joked that she had been warned that Carrie in Homeland would be a weighty role. &amp;quot;I remember my agent when we were talking about potentially taking this role on, she said, &amp;#039;Well, you know, you&amp;#039;ll have a lot to do&amp;#039;, which is kind of the understatement of my career,&amp;quot; she joked. Lewis was also nominated for a SAG Award for his role in Homeland, though he lost out to Breaking Bad star Bryan Cranston.
