And the Actor Goes to ... SAG Award Winners

by Kelly Woo, posted Jan 28th 2007 10:22PM

The Office on NBCActors really take themselves seriously, don't they? They don't even like to call a female performer an actress. Only actors allowed.

The SAG Awards are always a bit of a downer, since we already saw all these people at the Golden Globes. And pretty much the same people won again. The only pleasant surprises were The Office winning for Best Ensemble in a Comedy Series and Little Miss Sunshine taking the movie cast award. Here are the winners:

Female Actor in a TV Movie or Miniseries
Helen Mirren, Elizabeth I

Male Actor in a TV Movie or Miniseries
Jeremy Irons, Elizabeth I

Male Actor in a Comedy Series
Alec Baldwin, 30 Rock

America Ferrera, Ugly Betty

OK Jose, please understand that there are extremely gifted and talented blacks who were always looked over when honors were given. Those great performances can no longer be cast to the side without being blatently obvious. So, enjoy the ride, you ain't seen nothing yet!!! Congratulations to all of the honoree's!

Well name me a prominent award category with a black nominee that didn't win.

"Is it just me or is it the case that with any nominee with a black person, they are assured of winning. I'm sensing some Hollywood liberal PC white guilt among the voters?"

Jose, it's just you. If there was bias, "The Wire" would sweep (nominations) for SAG, Emmy and People's Choice awards.

Great to see Chandra Wilson get the win, she deserved it this year. Hopefully, the Emmys will give her some love later in the year. However, I thought her comment was unnecessary; just what we don't need, that crap in the limelight again. I guess were going to have another Oscar first this year: African-American actors taking home both the Supporting Actor awards. If they don't, they were robbed. This is a career performance for Murphy and career-maker for Hudson. As someone who thinks House is over-rated as a series, I think Michael C. Hall was robbed. This also looks to be the year of America Ferrera, but why the hell should Alec Baldwin even get nominated? 30 Rock is a crap-fest and Baldwin isn't THAT funny, unless playing a buffoon is called funny these days.

I love House and I love Hugh Laurie. He got royally screwed last year by not getting an Emmy nomination, so the more he wins now, the better. He is the best actor on TV, bar none. Without Laurie, there would be no House! Some people are simply irreplaceable, and he is one of them.

Whoa. Is Jennifer Hudson's SAG card dry? When was it printed...yesterday? You just have to know her fellow nominees are pissed.

I write this as I listen to her rendition of 'One Night Only'. No hate.

A highlight for me was when Alec Baldwin was presenting one of the film awards and the teleprompter screwed up (which it seemed to do throughout the night), and he gave a subtle eyeroll and slight wave of his hand... classic Donaghey! I wondered if he was in character or if that's just how he is, but then, I don't really care since either way it is so damn funny!

The only reason I bothered with the SAGs was to watch the surviving cast of MTM present the award to the cast of The Office. So great to watch The Office folks on the same stage with, and clearly in awe of, one of the best casts ever on television.

I wish I could figure out how to add Chandra Wilson's line "and the other one who is in rehab" to my everyday conversation!

Why in god's name does anyone care about this? It's a freaking hollywood circle-jerk.

everyone thought Hugh Laurie was rubbed last year, well, now i think it's Michael C. Hall. i thought even though he lost the Globe (since Laurie is British and the Globe was given out by hollywood foreign press and all), he would have a good chance to get the Actor....but Laurie won again. oh well, hope the real academy (the Emmy) gives the damn statue to him.
best moment: Chandra Wilson's "the other one in rehab" remark. also, was Ellen Pompeo afraid to mention Isaiah Washington or something? how come she couldn't say his name? seriously though, everyone goes to rehab for bad mouth in hollywood nowadays.
