Netflix took home the most awards of any network Saturday night at the 22nd Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards, winning three categories.

The Internet television net nabbed two awards for Orange Is the New Black -- outstanding performance by an ensemble in a comedy series and Uzo Aduba for outstanding performance by a female actor in a comedy -- and one for House of Cards, which saw Kevin Spacey win for outstanding performance by a male actor in a drama. All three honors were consecutive wins for Netflix.

Also repeat winners were PBS Downton Abbey with its third for outstanding performance by an ensemble in a drama series and Viola Davis for outstanding performance by a female actor in a drama for ABCs How to Get Away With Murder. AMCs Mad Men, which was eligible for the last year, was notably shut out from the drama series categories.

I get so much joy out of being an actor, said Davis of her win.

Outstanding male actor in a comedy series went to Jeffrey Tambor from Amazon Studios Transparent.

Get up here dad, said Jason Batemen when announcing Tambor as winner. Tambor played Bateman's dad in Arrested Development.

Queen Latifah nabbed the actor for outstanding female actor in a TV movie or miniseries for her performance in HBO's Bessie. I am in shock right now I am just very grateful, she said. Latifah previously won a SAG Award for Chicago.

It was a big night for Idris Elba. He won two acting awards: outstanding supporting actor in a movie for Beasts of No Nation and outstanding actor in a miniseries or TV movie for BBC America's Luther.

I really don't know what to say, he said. Two wins tonight. That's incredible.

Funny lady Carol Burnett -- who rocked the red carpet in a pair of fuzzy slippers -- was feted with the SAG Life Achievement Award.

The point is Carol is better than all of us, said Amy Poehler, who presented the honor to Burnett along with Tina Fey. We're going to give her a prize for it.

Burnett blazed trails for women in comedy, winning accolades for her big and small screen roles and starring in The Carol Burnett Show for 11 seasons.

The 22nd Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards, which took place at Los Angeles Shrine Auditorium, aired live on TNT and TBS at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT.
