SAG AWARDS

Well last night Hollywood decided it was finally time to get gussied up and give out some awards when everyone and their mom attended the Screen Actors Guild Awards.



Everyone looked wonderful and happy, even Angelina Jolie, who was doing nothing to squashthe pregnancy rumors with the brown tarp she came to the awards in. The winners were as expected with Daniel Day-Lewis and “No Country for Old Men” coming out on top. It was also the last time “The Sopranos” cast will be winning for their performances in the HBO show. The WGA did not picket or prohibit actors to attend the show, since the two unions are backing each other. But the WGA did make sure to announce that they have not yet agreed to allow the Oscars to go on without a hitch this year. Uggh, can’t we all just get along? Josh Brolin hogged the spotlight accepting the award for best Cast Performance in a Motion Picture and referred to his directors, the Coen brothers, as “little freaks”. Someone is still bitter there was no nomination for him, I guess. The one touching part of the night was when Day-Lewis was accepted his award, his made a beautiful speech and dedicated the award to actor Heath Ledger, who passed away last week. It was quite a touching send off, considering the two men were not close.
