2008 SAG Awards: Live Diary

6:03:04 PM: You made it to page two! Nice work bud.

6:03:27 PM: Jay Manuel just broke down the fashion for us saying “transparent neutrals are IN” Oddly enough, that’s what I’m sporting tonight.

6:04:31 PM: I am still reeling from no Seacrest. I mean, he was my ace in the hole as far as comedy goes. Making fun of this other E! chick isn’t fun for anyone. Because no one knows who the hell she is.

6:06:20 PM: Christina Applegate! She was in the hit comedy “Married with Children” back in 1989.

6:07:37 PM: My bet is that they will get this thing settled by Oscar time… but what if they don’t? Can you imagine if this is some poor actor’s big moment? That would be sad.

6:11:04 PM: Nikki Blonsky in the house. I was very careful about my word placement there.

6:12:26 PM: Where does E! find their zany video coverage? The must have interns working around the clock. No sleep interns, we need three seconds worth of CHUCKLE!

6:13:32 PM: Amanda Bynes is here… and she’s nervous. She says it’s because she’s with her peers… but the rest of us know it’s because she’s hoping security doesn’t ask her to leave.

6:15:12 PM: They’ve got this weird ass high heel cam, where they have the girls put their foot on this mat, and there is a camera. What we’ve learned so far: Amanda Bynes has a GIANT big toe.

6:16:24 PM: Jenna Fischer joins us, fresh off of breaking her back. No joke there, she really broke her back. See? We give you information too.

6:20:12 PM: If TGI Friday’s if offering you a three course meal for $13 what do they make the food out of? Styrofoam?

6:22:06 PM: How fake do you have to be to make it in L.A.? To the zillionth degree right? After my third forced smile I’d be telling people to get the hell out of my way. I’d have to carry a flask with me to not commit murder. I’d buy a weapon and… ok, I’m getting the “stop” light from the booth.

6:25:25 PM: I just once the interviewer would be like “Hey, I’ve never seen your show. Is it any good?”

6:26:04 PM: Kristen Stewart looks pissed to even be there. I feel like she and I could hang. She was great in Yellow Handkerchief – a film I saw at Sundance that you should be able to see around 2011.

6:28:59 PM: Debra Messing becomes the 42nd person in a row to comment on it not raining. I shoulda live diaried the Weather Channel.

6:42:44 PM: Tina Fey is on the red carpet. She’s around 400x smarter than the interviewer. I expect her to just rub this chick on the head and say “it’s okay honey, you’re doing great!”

6:51:06 PM: Question asked of Ellen Page: How much are you like the character Juno? Genius. I’m sure she’s never heard that one before. I would have liked her so much more if she just stormed off. She was nice about it though. She’s got a big future that kid.

6:53:02 PM: Nicollette Sheridan was just told she had the “most rockin’ bod ever.” Wow. Ummmm. No. We need Seacrest back STAT.

6:55:16 PM: The page break is coming. I can feel it. It’s going to be epic.

6:58:02 PM: Time for the pagebreak. Let’s do this. Best comment from the peanut gallery this year (B-luv and my wifey): “Why is everyone so ugly this year??”
