Amy Live-Blogs the 2008 SAG Awards
Well sort of live-blogging, I’m on time-delay. Thanks DVR. If this gets boring or turns into the PR suck-fest that was the Golden Globes, I reserve the right to fast-forward.
It seems there’s no host but as an opener they’ve let Sally Field go on some rant about falling off a cliff or something. And now they’re onto the dude who played the gay guy on Melrose Place. I have not idea why he’s there maybe he’s on Desperate Housewives. So this is turning into some pan around the room while people give touchy-feely statements as to why they heart the Screen Actor’s Guild. Suck-It writers.
Holy shit! Sandra Oh is being eaten alive by a giant pink bow. Oh that’s just her dress, my bad.

Oh, Steve Carell and Tina Fey. Damn, she looks so good I want to take her behind the middle school and get her pregnant. Ah, the good old days of NBC Thursday. We miss you so.
Best Actor in a Drama series goes to…Bear Force 1! Oh wait not, that’s James Gandolfini who keeps it short and sweet.

Out comes Debra Messing and Max from The L Word, er… Zac Effron to announce female from a drama series. Yay, Edie Falco, everyone misses The Sopranos.
Here comes outstanding ensemble in a drama series. C’mon people, there’s always a weak link. I think we already know this one..The Sopranos. And they let Paulie make the acceptance speech and he didn’t say “cocksucker” once. Paulie!
Supporting Actor goes to Javier Bardem but I didn’t see No Country for Old Men so I don’t care too much. I think I’m going to just talk about shit I care about because I can and I’m driving this bus and if you don’t like it, you can walk.
Oh, Oh, female actor in a comedy series! Hi Tina Fey, you’re pretty. And Alec Baldwin for best male actor. Goo 30 Rock!

Cast in a comedy series ok yay 30 Rock but Desperate Housewives, really? And The Office wins. They’ve played the theme to the office like 14 times before the entire cast gets up there.
Damn, look at Holly Hunter’s arms. Holly Hunter vs. Madonna vs. Angela Basset in a cage match. Go!

Mickey Rooney? He’s still alive. Lori thinks they just drag him out every year so people can stand and clap for him then he goes back into his little Mickey Rooney hidey-hole that’s shrink-wrapped in the automotive department at Sears. Oh, he’s actually there to give out an award but it’s tv mini-series and no one watches that shit but Queen Latifah won and we got to hear Mickey Rooney call her Ms. Latifah.
Show boring…losing interest. But that’s ok because we totally didn’t set the DVR to record longer than the award show and we’re about to run out of time. But Julie Christie won for best actress and took the remainder of my recording time trying to find the stage. Whaa-waaa. Hopefully the Oscars and Helen F’in Miren will be better than this.
