Jeff Bridges was the best motion-picture actor winner at the SAG Awards 2010 ceremony. Officially, Bridges won his Actor for his performance as a troubled, aging country singer in Scott Cooper's Crazy Heart. But in truth, it's impossible not to see his SAG Award — much like his Golden Globe a week ago — as recognition for forty years of consistently good work.
Bridges had been nominated twice before for an Actor: as a member of the Seabiscuit (2003) cast and as best supporting actor for the political drama The Contender (2000). Additionally, Bridges has been nominated for four Academy Awards. He'll surely get his fifth nomination this year, and probably his first win, too.
Kevin Bacon was voted the best actor in a television movie or miniseries for his performance in Taking Chance. Bacon, like Bridges, also won a Golden Globe last week. In fact, the SAG Awards ceremony seemed to be a replay of the Golden Globes, but with a different background, costumes, and hairdos. Just about every person who won a SAG Award yesterday, whether for film or TV work, had won a Golden Globe last week.
Perhaps the Hollywood Foreign Press Association is composed of actors passing for journalists. Or perhaps lots of out-of-work SAG members earn a living as HFPA members.
