Meryl Streep was one of the presenters at the 2010 SAG Awards ceremony. Streep was in the running in the best actress category (for Julie & Julia), but lost to Sandra Bullock for the blockbuster The Blind Side. Without a doubt, Streep and Bullock will be the two top contenders for the best actress Oscar. In fact, both Streep and Bullock won Golden Globes last weekend, while Streep has been one of the critics’ favorites this awards season. The Oscar nominations will be announced Feb. 2.
Julianna Margulies (above) reprised her Golden Globe win of the week before by taking home the Actor for best actress in a television drama series, The Good Wife. Margulies’ competitors included Holly Hunter, Glenn Close, and Patricia Arquette. Many were expecting Close, a five-time Oscar nominee, to win for Damages.
“My mother and father call me after every single episode,” Margulies said at the awards ceremony. “They’ve been so supportive of me and have such interest in my life and every role I take – except for Snakes on a Plane. They weren’t so proud of that one, but they are proud of this one.”

Marion Cotillard, Kate Hudson, Nicole Kidman, Penélope Cruz introduce their film, the musical Nine, which was up for a best ensemble SAG Award. Nine lost to Quentin Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds. Although it has been a box office disappointment and despite mostly poor reviews, Nine will possibly get several Oscar nominations.
Nominees Sigourney Weaver and Meryl Streep pose for the camera. Streep was a best actress nominee for her Julia Child in Julie & Julia; Weaver was up for a best actress in a television movie or miniseries award for her Christian mother with a gay son in Prayers for Bobby. Streep lost to Sandra Bullock in The Blind Side; Weaver lost to Drew Barrymore in Grey Gardens.

While accepting her best actress trophy, Bullock thanked her husband, Jesse James, seen below with her. Bullock’s emotional but humorous speech has been widely praised. She and Meryl Streep will likely be the two top contenders for the Academy Awards. Nominations will be announced Feb. 2.

“It’s a fluke,” said Sandra Bullock. “I feel that it’s wrong. I made a bet with the driver – my money was on Meryl.” If so, Bullock hadn’t read any SAG Award predictions. Many – possibly most – pundits believed she was going to win the Screen Actors Guild’s Actor Award for her performance as a conservative, upper middle-class matriarch who discovers compassion after “adopting” an overgrown inner-city teenager. Earlier that evening, Bullock introduced the Life Achievement Award to Betty White, with whom she had played in the comedy hit The Proposal.
Jane Krakowski (below) was one of the nominees of the 30 Rock ensemble, starring Alec Baldwin and Tina Fey. However, the best television comedy series went to the cast of Glee.
The SAG Award winners are chosen by Screen Actors Guild members. There are about 120,000 of those, most of whom are unemployed. It’s unclear how many union members actually do vote for the awards.

Jessica Lange and Jeff Bridges co-starred in Dino de Laurentiis’ 1976 version of King Kong, which was deemed much inferior to the original. Despite the film’s box office success (though somewhat less than expected), Lange was all but unemployable for the next few years. Things began looking up for her again following a supporting role in Bob Fosse’s Oscar-nominated All That Jazz (1979). She really came into her own as an actress in Bob Rafelson’s The Postman Always Rings Twice (1981), in which she co-starred with Jack Nicholson.
This year, Lange was up for a SAG Award for best actress in a television movie or miniseries for her performance in Grey Gardens. Her co-star, Drew Barrymore, was the winner in that category.
George Clooney was nominated for a SAG Award for Jason Reitman’s well-received comedy-drama Up in the Air, in which he plays a professional corporate-downsizer. Anna Kendrick and Vera Farmiga are his co-stars. In the photo below, Clooney has his hands on the shoulders of Sigourney Weaver, one of the stars of James Cameron’s Avatar and a SAG Award nominee for Russell Mulcahy’s television movie Prayers for Bobby, in which she plays the devout Christian mother of a gay teenager (Ryan Kelley).

At the SAG Awards ceremony, Felicity Huffman had some trouble reading the teleprompter, as she apparently couldn’t find her glasses. She also had some trouble remembering her speech at the Golden Globes last week, but that turned out to be more entertaining than the majority of film-award presentations and introductions.
Alec Baldwin (above, with Huffman) won the best actor in a comedy series SAG Award for the fourth consecutive year. 30 Rock, however, lost out the Actor for best ensemble in a comedy series to the cast of Glee. The same thing happened at the Golden Globes last week.
Diane Kruger, who plays an actress and anti-Nazi spy in Inglourious Basterds, and co-star Eli Roth hold their Actor statuettes for best cast in a motion picture. Quentin Tarantino’s World War II drama was by far the biggest box office success among the five SAG Award nominees in that category. Roth is also a director-writer-producer: Hostel (2005) and Hostel: Part II (2007) are two of his credits.

Justin Timberlake and Kate Hudson handed out the Actor for best actor in a television comedy series to Alec Baldwin at the 2010 SAG Awards ceremony held this past Saturday, Jan. 23. Timberlake wasn’t up for anything, but Hudson received a SAG Award nomination for being part of the Nine ensemble. Others in the cast of Rob Marshall’s musical are Marion Cotillard, Daniel Day-Lewis, Penélope Cruz, Judi Dench, Sophia Loren, and Fergie. The only cast member to receive an individual nod was Penélope Cruz, for best supporting actress. She lost to Precious’ Mo’Nique.
Betty White (below) received the Screen Actors Guild Life Achievement Award. Previous winners include James Earl Jones, Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward, Shirley Temple, and Julie Andrews. White’s trophy was given to her by Sandra Bullock. Both actresses worked together in the summer hit comedy The Proposal.

Carey Mulligan (below) became the critics’ darling in the United States. She and Meryl Streep have won more critics’ awards than any other actress this awards season. Mulligan stars in Lone Scherfig’s An Education, in which she plays a 1960s London teen who wants to have her first sexual experience with a man in his thirties. An Education received 8 nominations from the British Academy.

Penélope Cruz was a best supporting actress SAG Award nominee for Rob Marshall’s musical Nine, in which she plays one of the women in Daniel Day-Lewis’ life. Nicole Kidman, Judi Dench, and Kate Hudson are some of the others. The Nine cast was also nominated for SAG’s best ensemble award, but they lost to the cast of Quentin Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds.
Below, Nine co-star Sophia Loren admires fellow Nine cast member Marion Cotillard at the SAG Awards ceremony held in Los Angeles on Sat., Jan. 23. Loren won a best actress Academy Award for Two Women (1961). Cotillard won hers for La Vie en Rose (2007). They are the only two actresses to have won an Oscar for films made in a language other than English.

Meryl Streep arrives at the 2010 SAG Awards ceremony, held on Sat., Jan. 23, in Los Angeles. Streep was nominated for a best actress SAG Award for her performance as Julia Child in Nora Ephron’s Julie & Julia. Her co-star in that film, Amy Adams, has been all but ignored this awards season. Streep lost the Actor trophy to Sandra Bullock, the star of the sleeper hit The Blind Side.
Drew Barrymore (below) won the SAG Award for best actress in a television movie or miniseries. Her performance in Grey Gardens has also earned her a Golden Globe in that same category. In that television drama, Barrymore co-stars with Jessica Lange.

Justin Timberlake wasn’t nominated for anything at the 2010 SAG Awards, held in Los Angeles on Sat., Jan. 23. Timberlake did, however, present the best actor in a comedy series award to Alec Baldwin (30 Rock), who expressed his gratitude for Timberlake’s presence and even more so for the presence of co-presenter Kate Hudson, a nominee for being part of the Nine ensemble.
Matthew Morrison, above right, was a nominee for being part of the Glee cast. Glee, in fact, won the SAG Award for best cast in a television comedy series.
Michael C. Hall won the best actor in a television drama SAG Award for his performance in Dexter. He also won a Golden Globe in the same category the previous weekend. Hall recently announced he has undergone cancer treatment. According to reports, the disease is in full remission.
