The Screen Actors Guild has put together a nice package for Sunday’s 15th Annual SAG Awards. Jon Hamm, Christina Applegate, John Krasinski, Angela Bassett, and William Shatner are among the stars taking part in the two-hour festivities, and both TBS and TNT will simulcast the ceremony live from Los Angeles’ Shrine Auditorium. Clearly, SAG has been trying in recent years to elevate their awards to "event" status (they certainly can use the positive PR these days). But given the glut of kudosfests this time of year (People’s Choice, anyone?), is there room for another major awards show event, or are the SAGs better suited for next-day style gallery browsing? Take our poll and let us know if you’ll be watching the SAGs this weekend, and then share your feelings about general award show burnout in the comments below.

Actually, I’ll be watching something much, much more substantial and relevant. “Flight of the Conchords.”
You actually had me at “John Krasinski” (although Jon Hamm is certainly nice, too), but I’ll answer “yes” anyway.
I would watch Jon Hamm read the phone book.
Does anybody know if this will air in Canada too? On what station?
I’m an awards-show junky and I love the SAG awards. The only thing I don’t watch is the people’s choice type stuff. Eck.
I don’t have cable television, but if I did I would definitely be watching, so I answered yes.
I would watch anyway because I’m an awards show junkie as well, but Jon Hamm really sells it. It will hold me over until he appears on 30 Rock.
Will watch anything with Jon Hamm.
Truly, the man is sex in a suit. I will be watching.
Actually with all the current awards show glut, one of the only reasons for me to watch the OSCARS for example is Hugh Jackman hosting … so I would not find it unreasonalbe for some folks to watch the SAG awards for some of the presenters.
I may watch parts of it here and there, and when commercials come on I’ll flip to something else / and back again perhaps.
Elizabeth W– you and me both! Jon Hamm is nice but I love John Krasinski!
mcbridefan, good to see another Hugh Jackman fan here! He’s the only reason I’ll watch the Oscars.
You DID have me at Jon Hamm! HOW did you KNOW?!
