The FINANCIAL -- Betty White received top acting honors at the 18th annual Screen Actors Guild Awards last night at The Los Angeles Shrine Exposition Center, winning Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Comedy Series for her role as Elka in the TV Land original sitcom, "Hot in Cleveland" ,according to Viacom.

This is White's second win for her role on the series as she won the SAG Award in the same category last year.

"Hot in Cleveland" is the network's critically-acclaimed hit starring beloved actresses Valerie Bertinelli, Jane Leeves, Wendie Malick and Emmy Award-winner, Betty White. The show is currently in its third season and airs Wednesdays at 10pm ET/PT on TV Land.

"Hot in Cleveland" revolves around three fabulous best friends from LA — novelist Melanie Moretti, eye-brow archer to the stars Joy Scroggs and former soap star Victoria Chase — who find their lives changed forever when their plane, headed for Paris, makes an unexpected landing. When the friends discover that life is better for them and that they are hot in Cleveland, they decide to stay. Starting over together, they rent a house that happens to come with a very opinionated caretaker, Elka Ostrovsky.

Filmed in front of a live audience, "Hot in Cleveland" is executive produced by Emmy Award-winner Sean Hayes and Todd Milliner of Hazy Mills Productions and is helmed by Emmy Award-winning Suzanne Martin serving as executive producer, show runner and writer. Lynda Obst also serves as executive producer, and Larry W. Jones and Keith Cox are executive producers for TV Land. "Hot in Cleveland" is currently seen around the world in over 165 countries.
