SAG-ing

The third big race in the Hollywood triple crown of accolades flashed across TV screens last night - The SAG Awards. These trophies are presented by the union that represents all actors working on screens in the US. The nice thing about these awards is that they are colleaugue-based. The actors nominate and vote on the actors. Television and film are rewarded. And, following on the heels of the Golden Globes, some choices are confirmed and some new talents recognized as the yellow brick road to Oscar is paved. Some comments on last night's telecast:

America Ferrera looking absolutel gorgeous in green as she presents with Forest Whittaker and under from his somewhat creepy banter she manages to maintain her composure. Then she wins for Best Comedy Actress and takes my prize for Best Dressed.

Brits continue to do a great job of kissing US industry ass.

Jeremy Piven shows up cleaner and classier than he has been in ages which is nice to see. Too bad "Entourage" loses to Betty (again!)

If I was Leo DiCaprio, I would be getting pissed that Eddie Murphy keeps stealing my supporting actor award!

I find myself tearing up a bit as Julie Andrews is awarded a Life Achievement trophy. She is wonderful and she was rocking the sophistication in a jewelled shrug over black satin. Noone will be like here ever!

Chandra Wilson wins for "Grey's Anatomy" pointed out that the actors realize who is bringing real depth to the show unlike the Globes' PR noms for Ellen and Patrick.

"Grey's Anatomy" wins Best Drama Ensemble. Eric Dane brings the hotness! And then Ellen Pompeo takes the mic in her black, space-age grecian dress and shows how HORRIBLE a public speaker she is while trying to remember absent co-stars to thank and brining even MORE attention to the political absence of Isaiah Washington.

Jennifer Hudson moves the glamour quotient up a notch using some of that "confidence" earned at the Golden Globes. Her sparkly, low-cut gown makes her a shooting star that really glitters.

Reese Witherspoon looking the least dull we have seen her in ages.

WTF? has happened to Rachel McAdams?

Forest Whitaker and Helen Mirren continue to both pull Philip Seymour Hoffman's from last year running straight to Oscar.

Little Miss Sunshine take a surprising win for Best Film Ensemble. And I still haven't seen it.
