The Annual SAG Awards - General Discussion

[mtlchick]

I love Emily Blunt, but that is a big no on that dress. 

[ShadowHunter]

Emily Blunt ! As a Horror fan this is great. Plus she is great as well.

[vb68]

Emily Blunt winning supporting actress is a big surprise.

I think it sets up Regina King good for the Oscars as she won't have competition coming out of here.

[mtlchick]

(General reminder that I want my Angela Bassett/Viola Davis arm wrestling match.) 

[vb68]

Oh yeah, Chris Pine looked good.

[ShadowHunter]

Angela Bassett is still immortal.

[mtlchick]

Ali has pretty much punched his ticket to his second Oscar in 3 years unless the black lash towards the movie from the family strikes a big nerve. 

[ShadowHunter]

Wow nice speech from Darren Criss.

[mtlchick]

And now a message from el presidente, Ah-drea Zuckerman!

 

Megan’s story about her dad’s residual check is what she should have started with.

Does anyone know the name of the song that was playing when Darren Criss walked up to accept his award.  It’s driving me crazy!

[MerBearHou]

Huge yay for all the Mrs Maisel wins.  I have absolutely loved both seasons so far and will patiently wait for the next one.  Tremendous writing, acting, stories, sets, costumes, capturing an era gone by.

[Indigo Luna]

Aww I really wanted Amy Adams to get that but congrats to Patricia! 

[Quickbeam]

Lovely for Patricia calling out $ abuses for working actors. She’s something.

Poor Amy is 0-2 for the second Award show in a row.

I know and she was so good in Sharp Objects I wish that series would've gotten more recognition. 

[Quickbeam]

The thing about Amy is how she elevates everything she’s in. She’s fabulous even in mediocre stuff like Leap Year.

I think he's the one person who actually is unscathed and for even people who might take issue with things about Green Book (script writer, director, message...etc.) will feel comfortable voting for him.

 She gets nominated a lot but rarely wins which is a shame because she's so good in everything she does. 

[ProudMary]

What a beautiful speech by Alan Alda, whom I've loved in everything he's ever done.  The response of his peers seemed very genuine too.

[Thumper]

Alan Alda -- yay!  Makes me want to see some of those movies. In which movie did he and Meryl Streep play?

[ProudMary]

The Seduction of Joe Tynan.

[ShadowHunter]

Jason Bateman he was good so I'm glad he won.  Hell I even watched Teen Wolf 2 as a kid lol.

[ProudMary]

Sandra Oh's gown is beautiful. 

[slowpoked]

Oscars Best Supporting Actress just got to be an interesting race. I thought either Amy Adams or Emma Stone would have won it.

[Jaded]

I haz a sad...☹️

I actually think it helps solidify Regina King's win. Because even with her not in the category, the three women up against her for the Oscar (Amy Adams, Rachel Weisz and Emma Stone) still lost. And lost to a woman who got completely snubbed by the Oscars.

This.  I bet Rachel Weisz will win the BAFTA.  Regina gets her Oscar.

That may be the case. But I'm still having a hard time believing Regina King will suddenly, out of nowhere, pull off the win, when the biggest voting group for the Oscars didn't even nominate her to contend for the award at SAG.

[ShadowHunter]

Congrats to Rami I was rooting for him. 

[ProudMary]

And we definitely have a race for Best Actor!  

Congrats to Rami!

[Quickbeam]

Rami! Just an amazing performance. 

[mtlchick]

Malek winning made the Best Actor race THAT more interesting.   I saw both Bohemian Rhapsody and Vice.  I loved Bale in Vice, but I really didn't like it as a movie.  I enjoyed Bohemian Rhapsody, Malek was outstanding as Mercury, and my sister said it's probably the one biopic she actually cared for.  

Also, I need my final season of Mr Robot.

[KittenPokerCheater]

Rami's performance was awesome, but the movie itself is a gorgeous mess  (don't get me started on the terrible director).  I'm glad Rami won, but I'm starting to feel a little sorry for Bradley Cooper; he's put so much of himself into his movie that I'm afraid how he's going to cope if he doesn't get any awards this season.

[truthaboutluv]

Well, well. Looks like Mr. Rami Malek is heading for that Oscar win. I really didn't know which way this one would go but I knew it would likely come down to him or Christian Bale.

[shipmate]

I only just discovered the Americans and binge watched all 6 seasons over the past several weeks. That ensemble was stellar and, while not wanting to take anything away from the quality of the This is Us cast, the Americans deserved it more, IMHO.

I agree 100%. I’ve watched ( and liked) them both ...The Americans is so much more complex and well acted.

I really thought The Americans was going to win this year.  I was shocked that TIU won again.

[mtlchick]

Glenn Close is THISCLOSE of finally getting that long deserved Oscar. 

 

That or the person who was shouting God knows what before Oldman said her name.

[ShadowHunter]

Congrats to Glenn Close.

Who is screaming ?

[Quickbeam]

Good for Glenn. Wish I was in a union. :)

[ProudMary]

I'm SO happy for Glenn Close!  On to the Oscars!

[ShadowHunter]

Wow Black Panther. 

[mtlchick]

Black Panther?!  Well, Green Book wasn't here but...FOOP!  Didn't see this one coming at all. 

[ProudMary]

I bet they heard me scream down the block!  Black Panther!

[Indigo Luna]

Yay Black Panther!! 

[ShadowHunter]

I appreciate some unexpected wins happened at the show.

[KittenPokerCheater]

SO happy Black Panther won.  But to be fair, I would have given it to BlackKlansman.  #WakandaForever

It won't entirely be out of nowhere, since she cleaned up with the critics and won the Globes. I understand regarding the voting group for the Oscars but one, I can believe the theory that the screeners for If Beale Street Could Talk didn't get out to the SAG voters in time and two, the Supporting categories especially have had many out of nowhere wins on Oscar night. 

[mtlchick]

"To be young, gifted and black-- Oh man, sorry Andy Serkis, we include too."  Hee hee!

I did. SAG Ensemble award isn't necessarily about the Best Picture in terms of writing, directing, production, etc. It's just about the collective group of actors. And I had a feeling for what the film represented more than anything that fellow actors would vote for it. They won't win the Oscar but not surprised by the SAG win. I thought it would either be them or A Star is Born as a way for the voters to reward Gaga and Bradley since they weren't winning the Lead Actor/Actress categories.
