Actor recipients Ed Helms, Julianna Margulies and Natalie Portman will join SAG Awards social network ambassador Regina King, SAG President Ken Howard and actor nominees Armie Hammer, Kyle Chandler, Judy Greer, Maya Rudolph and Octavia Spencer as presenters at the 18th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards.

They join a growing roster of actors who will honor their colleagues at the 18th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards that already includes Patrick Duffy, Linda Gray, Larry Hagman and Dick Van Dyke.

Eight-time Actor honoree and 16-time nominee Julianna Margulies holds the SAG Awards’ record for the most Actors received. Margulies received her eighth Actor in 2011 for her performance as Alicia Florrick in the CBS drama “The Good Wife,” and is again nominated for that role. She is also celebrating her second consecutive nomination as a member of the show’s ensemble. Her previous SAG Awards were for her lead and ensemble performance in “ER.”
