With all the talk about the Oscars recently it seems everyone forgot that this Sunday, January 25 at 8 PM ET/PT on TNT & TBS are the 2009 Screen Actors Guild Awards, the night the actors award actors with the Actor. As if anyone should, would or could forget. Well, if you did forget I am here to remind you while at the same time offer up some predictions for the film categories as well as ask you to do a little predicting of your own.
One thing to know before making your picks is to realize the SAGs don’t necessarily follow with award season tradition. Sure, last year they awarded Javier Bardem and Daniel Day-Lewis just as did the Oscars and Golden Globes, but they also gave Ruby Dee (American Gangster) and Julie Christie (Away From Her) awards. In 2007 they matched up more accurately, but while Eddie Murphy won both the Globe and SAG for Supporting Actor, the Oscars went with Alan Arkin. So I am willing to bet there is sure to be a surprise (or two), it’s just a matter of guessing the right one.
Below I have listed the nominees for you to vote on as well as offered up a tiny commentary just as I did with the Golden Globe predictions. Come Sunday I may be back for a Live Blog considering the Golden Globe live blog was such a success, but again I am running up against an East Coast/West Coast time difference and need to find a way to get that East Coast feed. Yes, there are ways, but they are scandalous ways.
Stay tuned, and for now, make your predictions for the 2009 Screen Actors Guild Awards!
See you back here on Sunday for the 2009 Screen Actors Guild Awards!
