Tuning in for the SAG Awards?

Just to clear the comment up a bit below, I mean the ceremony. Of course the awards will still be given, albeit in an unorthodox way for the Oscars.

The best supporting actress race just got a whole lot tougher. Just when you thought Cate Blanchett had stolen the Oscar from Amy Ryan (Golden Globes), there goes Ruby Dee. For the Oscars, I predict Ruby Dee wins it, although maybe Amy Ryan will if she is campaigned a little more vigorously. I doubt Cate Blanchett will win if only for the fact that she already has one. Other than that, it's pretty obvious that No Country For Old Men, Javier Bardem, Julie Christie, and Daniel Day-Lewis will also be taking home some Oscars. That is, if it even happens..

I'm predicting an ensemble win for Hairspray.

To Anon -- its not about the need for scripts, it's about crossing a picket line. The SAG has been very supportive of the WGA throughout the strike, so the WGA is not picketing their awards. The reason the Golden Globes was canceled is that the WGA said they would picket it and most members of the SAG said they wouldn't cross the picket line to attend. The networks ultimately canceled it because it would be boring to give out awards to an empty room without any famous presenters.

As far as the Grammy's, I'm not sure why they get a reprieve from the strike, but that's not my call, I guess.

WHAAAAAAT????! No Slezak live blogging mocking E!'s overly excitable yet dim-witted commentators? I am very, very dissapointed. :(

I don't understand all of this ... if the SAG awards and the Grammy's are happening, why not the Golden Globes and the Oscar's? What makes them different from each other as it relates to the need for writers? Don't they all have scripts?

I will definitely be watching!! As the only real awards show this season I am celebrating as though it were the Oscars. Sparkling wine and appetizers will be on my coffee table and I'll be watching the entire pre-show. Cannot wait!

As long as there's the slightest chance of Hugh Laurie turning up, I'll be watching.

damn right! I can't wait. I only hope there's not 4651265 speeches about the strike.

I'm usually watching all of the awards shows, but this year I just don't care. Since the strike I've canceled my cable; I just can't justify paying $50 a month for reality shows and reruns. And movies are too expensive to see all of the good ones. What up, NY, charging $10 a ticket? I miss living in Western PA where it was only $6.50.

I will be watching! Looking forward to a REAL awards show this season.

Some of us losers out here don't have cable, so I was really hoping that ew.com would be live-blogging it.

To be honest I usually do not watch the SAG awards, but I fear this will be the only awards show we get this year so it has become a "must watch" in my house.

DAMN SKIPPY! I'll be rootin' for my man, DDL...

LP Fri, Jan 25, 2008 at 06:25 PM EST

YES! I have to get my awards show/red carpet fix when and where I can this year...

Rebekah Fri, Jan 25, 2008 at 06:21 PM EST

Yes. I will be watching. I agree that this may be our only awards show this year, so I am excited to watch it. But why is the show on two networks? I have always wondered that.
