SAG Awards 2009: Presenters

Susan Sarandon in Bernard & Doris

At the 2009 SAG Awards ceremony, Actor nominees Amy Adams, Josh Brolin, Viola Davis, James Franco, Taraji P. Henson, Emile Hirsch, Frank Langella, Dev Patel, Freida Pinto and Michael Sheen will introduce their nominated cast film clips: Doubt, Milk, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Slumdog Millionaire, and Frost/Nixon.
Evan Rachel Wood will introduce a filmed salute to performances that were “trailblazers,” either in their casting or subject matter. (That should be interesting — if the clip pickers know their Hollywood history instead of going for the obvious, e.g., Marlon Brando, who couldabinuhcontenduh, and movies made within the last twenty years.)

SAG Awards 2007 Winners

Forest Whitaker in The Last King of Scotland (top); Helen Mirren in The Queen (bottom)

The 2007 SAG Award winners were announced on Sunday, Jan. 28.
Pretty much everybody that was expected to win won, from Helen Mirren and Forest Whitaker to Helen Mirren and Jeremy Irons. (Mirren I won for The Queen; Mirren II for the TV production Queen Elizabeth I.)
Little Miss Sunshine was the equally unsurprising best ensemble winner. Following on the heels of its Producers Guild Award victory, the low-budget feel-good comedy of the year is now considered the front-runner for the 2007 Academy Awards.
The problem with that prediction, however, is that Little Miss Sunshine failed to get a best direction [...]

SAG Awards 2007: Nominations

The Screen Actors Guild (SAG) announced its list of 2007 nominees earlier today.
The only major surprise was the inclusion of Emilio Estevez’s Bobby — instead of Stephen Frears‘ The Queen (right) — in the "Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture" category, even though no individual performance from Bobby was singled out for SAG award consideration.
Also, critics’ favorites such as United 93, and both Clint Eastwood World War II films, Flags of Our Fathers and Letters from Iwo Jima, were completely ignored by SAG voters.
Helen Mirren, on the other hand, was shortlisted in two individual categories as two different Queen Elizabeths — the current one in The Queen, and the one from the early modern era [...]
