Screen Actors Guild Awards

[cleolinda]

Here's the sum total of my blogging for the night. Unfortunately, it's all newest-entry-first, but I think you can manage. Oh, and we're in the second hour of the SAG show rerun on TNT, if you want to catch the most awesome cosmic punkout ever: Clint Eastwood finally convinces Sean Penn to show up for an awards show at which he will be winning an award, and it goes to... Johnny Depp. WHO ISN'T EVEN THERE. GIVEN BY HIS PEERS. FOR A PIRATE MOVIE.

You may also want to catch the last award of the evening, in which Return of the King beats out Mystic River (a movie full of Actor's Actors doing Actor's Acting) and Bernard Hill gives a gracious acceptance speech on behalf of the actors present. And then Sean Astin sidles up to Hill and takes over the mike... and preaches a not-rousing sermon about unions and runaway productions to the choir a roomful of actors. About the time Astin manages to become more politically annoying than Tim Robbins (no, I didn't know it was possible, either), who managed to broach the same topic in two sentences at the beginning of the evening, John Rhys-Davies boots him out of the way so that their producer and Billy Boyd can say something. Liv Tyler's job is to be pretty and Andy Serkis is chopped liver, apparently, so there you go.

When Renee said Johnny's name, I gasped. Loudly. It scared my friend Michelle.

And then we did a happy dance around the room. I'm still giddy.

How much would I love a repeat at the Oscars? Bite me, Sean Penn. And your greasy little mustache. Sucka!

I hardly ever watch awards shows and -- true to form -- I didn't watch the SAGs (bad, bad acronym. Heh). Anyway, I'm doing a happy dance over here for Johnny and the LOTR cast. W00t!

Sum total of my comments on said blogging:

1. DEPP
2. I really hate Karen on Will & Grace and find her completely unfunny, and often have the urge to slap her in the face.
3. Jonathan Brandis is dead? Noooo! I loved SeaQuest when I was in my early teens and had no taste, and it was still my guilty pleasure even once I realised it was quite often a complete pile of rubbish. with a TALKING DOLPHIN.
4. Charlize Theron looks like she's been at the fake tan. (http://us.news2.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/p/ap/20040223/lthumb.sag21302230400.sag_awards_sag213.jpg) So does Kiefer. (http://us.news2.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/p/ap/20040223/lthumb.sag15802230353.sag_awards_sag158.jpg)
5. Mariska Hargitay, I hate you too for causing me to throw things at the screen whenever you appeared in season 4 of ER.
6. Yahoo! appear to have mixed up Billy and Dom. (http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?g=events/en/011504sagawards&a=&tmpl=sl&ns=&l=&e=72&a=0&t=&prev=71) Which, to be fair, I used to do too. And I think I may love JRD even more than before.

Thanks for the blogging! We don't get the SAG Awards here.

I have seen a clip of the ROTK acceptance speech and I just LOVE John Rhys-Davies. Sean just doesn't know when to stop.

And Nah to Susan Sarandon.

Whatwas Sean Astin thinking?? Was he even thinking?? So not the proper forum; it is a frickin' awards show after all, not the Mall in Washington. I really find it hard to have pity for the million dollar actors; yes, I get that it is a million dollar industry, but they get paid out of the pockets of the people who attend the movies, ie. you and me, and I say that they aren't THAT good... well, except Marcia Gay Harden who just ROCKS!! Thank goodness that J R-D shut him up! :) You would have thought that they would have been a bit more organized...there was a pretty strong chance that they were going to WIN. :(

I did feel bad for Sean Penn, cause, man, did he look bored. So did Benicio... ::drool::

Ah, sweet, beautiful justice. I loathe Sean Penn.
Hello, I'm Sean Penn. Look at me, acting. I have my acting face on now. It's different from my paparazzi punching face, because it's me. ACTING. Yes, everyone loves me, Sean Penn, whom I might remind you is acting.

last year I worked at the awards, and this year, I didn't even get to watch them on tv (running a million errands)... but your sum up totally hits the spot! Thanks!
