LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - "No Country For Old Men," Ethan and Joel Coen's 20th-century take on the western, won top prize at the Screen Actors Guild Awards on Sunday, positioning the movie for glory at the Oscars next month.

Penn's movie came away empty handed.

In addition to the ensemble nod, Spanish actor Javier Bardem won a second trophy for "No Country for Old Men" by taking the best supporting actor award on a night of traditional Hollywood glamour, with added emotion over the death last week of actor Heath Ledger.

British actor Daniel Day-Lewis, who won the best actor award for his role as a greedy oil baron in "There Will Be Blood," dedicated his trophy to Ledger.
