NEW YORK (CBS) Critical darling "Black Swan" got the "Saturday Night Live" treatment over the weekend, thanks to host Jim Carrey.

In the parody of Darren Aronofsky's psychological thriller, Carrey took on Mila Kunis' character, Lily, the sultry rival to Natalie Portman's Nina Sayers.

"SNL" castmember Nasim Pedrad played Nina, and Bill Hader played the choreographer, Tomas.

To play Lily, Carrey sported a bun, black leotard and tutu, and danced around the stage snapping at breadcrumbs thrown by another dancer.

The sketch ended with the 48-year-old comedian telling the audience, "Once you go black swan, you never go back....swan," and faded to an image of Carrey wearing Portman's "Swan Lake" makeup from the film posters.

What did you think of Carrey's take on "Black Swan"? Watch the video and share your thoughts in the comments.
