4:56:46 PM: Get set and ready to begin as we once again join together to cover the Screen Actors Guild Awards.
5:00:06 PM: We are live from the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles! Well… I’m not… but they are…
5:01:02 PM: James Earl Jones is getting the life achievement… Darth Vader style
5:02:00 PM: This is where everyone tells us they are an actor… Yay!
5:02:22 PM: Did you know Eva Longoria was an actor?
5:02:41 PM: Oh hey, Sean Penn showed up! He skipped the Globes and lost, does he know something we don’t?
5:05:09 PM: And out come Rosario Dawson and Kiefer Sutherland to welcome us. Dawson was great in Seven Pounds… They are awarding actress in a TV comedy
5:05:51 PM: and the winner is…
5:06:00 PM: Gotta be Fey right?
5:06:50 PM: And it goes to…
5:07:09 PM: That show is great and it’s a no brainer… the show has to win too doesn’t it?
5:08:40 PM: Ahhhh, Fey tossing in a residuals jab…
5:08:52 PM: Now it’s Freida Pinto and Dev Patel from Slumdog Millionaire to introduce their film as a nominee for Ensemble Picture
5:09:26 PM: Slumdog is definitely the frontrunner for Oscar right now, but when it comes to ensemble I still have to assume it’s Doubt or Milk
5:10:00 PM: Nice, glad they ruined the ending for people that haven’t seen the film with that clip.
5:10:18 PM: Too late to close your eyes now.
5:10:28 PM: Jon Hamm and Kyra Sedgwick out to award best actors in a comedy TV show
5:11:01 PM: Gotta stick with “30 Rock” on the prediction here and say Baldwin…
5:11:23 PM: And the winner is…
5:12:30 PM: These shows are just too damned predictable, but when the show is good it’s good…
5:13:20 PM: Baldwin says he wants to make out with Anthony Hopkins as if we all don’t…
5:13:58 PM: Commercial break, gotta get some coffee…
5:19:17 PM: We’re back, and it’s Evan Rachel Wood… The Wrestler style…
5:19:34 PM: Wood is talking really deep and now will introduce a video montage of film and television’s “trailblazers”
5:20:12 PM: Montages are soooo booooooring
5:21:34 PM: While this happens I will say I watched Flashdance last night… Does that win me any points? Before that I watched Unfaithful.
5:22:34 PM: Now comes Claire Danes to look pretty and do something else…
5:23:10 PM: Oh wait, it’s the nominees for best ensemble comedy series… uh, “30 Rock”?
5:23:35 PM: Damn, they are doing long clips with all of these
5:24:43 PM: It feels like 30-45 seconds for each nominee
5:25:19 PM: “Weeds” is a nominee, I haven’t watched it yet but I have the seasons on my Netflix Instant Queue
5:25:39 PM: And the winner is…
5:25:58 PM: New rule, answer all questions with the words “30 Rock”… so far I am 100% with it.
5:26:27 PM: Jane Krakowski makes a crack at Tracey Morgan’s funny acceptance speech at the Globes.
5:27:15 PM: Frank Langella and Michael Sheen are out to introduce Frost/Nixon as an ensemble film nominee. Sheen is dressed as a werewolf! Oh wait, no he’s not…
5:28:34 PM: They are showing the clip from the film I have heard is actually the one major fabrication in the story. Nice.
5:29:03 PM: Greg Kinnear arrives on scene while we get a good shot of Kate Winslet’s cleavage. No complaints here.
5:29:32 PM: We are getting a film award, Best Supporting Actress… My pick is Winslet for The Reader, could that be why we just saw her cleavage?
5:30:14 PM: Just looking at these nominees it is so hard to believe any of them losing…
5:30:43 PM: And the winner is…
5:31:16 PM: Man, she looks good. Still to this date I think she is the most beautiful woman I have ever been in an interview with.
5:32:00 PM: She’s a little more restrained than she was at the Globes, I wonder if she will be even more humble at the Oscars or just go insane. My vote is for insane.
5:32:50 PM: Commercial time, take a break and get a snack.
5:36:03 PM: Ah ha, first comment and an Aussie is here… Reminds me… how about that Australian Open? Federer pulled out a big win last night.
5:37:52 PM: Here comes Christina Applegate and Taye Diggs to announce the winner for male actor in a drama TV series
5:38:47 PM: Jon Hamm for “Mad Men” is my pick, although Hall in “Dexter” is great
5:39:23 PM: I am surprised at how many nominations for “Boston Legal” though both actors (Shatner and Spader) are great.
5:40:30 PM: And the winner is…
5:40:52 PM: Laurie actually won last year… He is really good in that show, but it gets a bit repetitive. That’s why getting it once a year on DVD is so nice.
5:42:36 PM: Laurie thanked craft services… good on yah
5:42:52 PM: Amy Poehler and John Krasinski out for male actor in a drama TV series
5:43:21 PM: Wait… female
5:43:37 PM: All these women are looking so haggard in these clips, these shows don’t look too uplifting.
5:44:40 PM: And the winner is…
5:45:43 PM: Luckily I have that one in the database, didn’t think I did for a second there… Whew! Not sure if you saw, but I have the winners updating live right here as well.
5:47:26 PM: Out come the Milk boys to announce it as a film nominee… It’s Brolin, Hirsch and Franco
5:48:43 PM: Emily Blunt! Where has she been? Oh, and Eric McCormack.
5:49:04 PM: Blunt is in Young Victoria and The Wolfman in 2009.
5:49:25 PM: The two are announcing the winner for TV Drama ensemble… Is this “Mad Men”?
5:50:06 PM: I have never watched “The Closer” and these clips don’t make me want to.
5:50:49 PM: I would love to see “Dexter” win this
5:51:27 PM: Love that Massive Attack track on the “House” titles
5:51:54 PM: And the winner is…
5:53:32 PM: Commercial break and the promise of a speech from the SAG president… is that incentive or reason not to return?
5:54:41 PM: Okay, page break time so this thing doesn’t get too long on one page, click on over to continue.
