SAG Awards 6

[cleolinda]

Man, my neck is starting to crick. If we have the Oscars this year, I am not going to hold up too well.

Am I the only one who thinks that Vantage Point actually looks kind of interesting?

Blair Underwood is back with clips about technology, which SAG also unionized.

Viggo Mortensen! Very nice suit (pinstripe?), black shirt, red vest, red tie. See! You can be sartorially creative and not look atrocious! He sounds kind of... odd, though. Kind of bland and nondescript, if that makes any sense. Maybe he needs a sword. Best supporting female actor! Ooo, I like Amy Ryan's white halter drape. Flame-haired Tilda Swinton laughing at her own clip in a silver suit! Ruby Dee wins! Wow, that's an upset. Standing ovation! (Wait, is Viggo wearing some kind of red... sash? Fringy thing? What the hell was that?)

I still want Ruby Dee's glasses.

Dee thanks everyone in American Gangster, including Russell Crowe. Did she have scenes with him? Did she ever slap him upside the head onset? I like to imagine that she did. Aww, and she also accepts it on behalf of her late husband Ossie Davis.

Tommy Lee Jones is here with a clip for No Country for Old Men. Up in the next fifteen minutes: TOM CRUISE?!

Seriously? Who let Tom in?

Ruby Dee? Really? Over Cate? I dunno about that. Yes, she slapped Denzel (and made someone in my audience go "Damn! Momma!"), but sheesh.

I have a feeling it's less for the performance itself than for the sudden realization that ... wait, Ruby Dee's never won anything? Oh, we'd definitely better do something about THAT. (Not that I'm knocking the sentiment, but still.)

And Cate's already got a ton of awards, including an Oscar, so I think it's one of those cases where a really great performance might get trumped by a really great actress who've never really gotten this kind of recognition before.

lol about the Ruby Dee comment but oh so true!!!!!!

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

I've had this sneaking suspicion that Ruby Dee's going to win the Oscar and this is not helping with that. (Well, I mean it is because seriously, RUBY DEE doesn't have an Oscar?! And yet at the same time, when Amy Ryan or Cate Blanchett takes it part of me will be so disappointed.) Also, aw. Somewhere up there Ossie's lovin' this. :)

Wait, Tom Cruise?! Oh, man, I might have to watch something else for now. *sigh*

Pfft. Tom Cruise is one of the few people who makes me want to punch babies.

I wonder how Daniel Day Lewis held up with the in memoriam reel.

[allie-meril.livejournal.com]

Oh, hell. Daniel Day-Lewis, you... I am in so much love with you.

Oh, Ossie Davis. *woeface*

Nope, I think it looks really awesome, and I hope it actually is that awesome.

I know this is late, but... Vantage Point is the Dennis Quaid one, right? With the "president" being assassinated and all that jazz? Yeah, I saw the preview for that one in Sweeney Todd, and... let's just say you're not the only one who thinks it looks interesting, Cleo.
