It’s that time of year – when actors and filmmakers are glammed up at awards shows every night (or so it seems). Here’s a little round-up of some recent winners:
Danny Boyle wins outstanding directorial achievement in feature film for "Slumdog Millionaire," Director’s Guild of America. It’s the runaway hit of the season, and I’m sure this little flick will score big at the Oscars, too. In his acceptance speech, Boyle said, "Dream hard."
"Kung Fu Panda" wins best animated feature, Annie Awards. In fact, it picked up ten awards, which seems surprising to me, given that one of …read more

Members of the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) met at the Sportsmen’s Lodge in Studio City today. Leaders had one message for them: we’re still negotiating.
Hmmm, what’s it all mean? I just hope they can work things out before it comes down to another situation like the writer’s strike last winter. I think an actor’s strike would be much more damaging to everyone involved. I believe George Clooney agrees with me on that, as he’s been working to ensure it doesn’t happen. Yeah, me and George. We’re tight.  
According to The Hollywood Reporter, SAG wants:

Uh, yeah, I could have told you that. And, in fact, I did tell you that when she arrived at the SAG awards swathed in yards of fabric.

A few highlights from the 2008 Screen Actors Guild Awards tonight. Pictures courtesy of EOnline:
The show started off with a bang! A mobster bang, that is. James Gandolfini and Edie Falco won for Actor/Actress in a Drama Series. Both commented that it’s been a great ten years working on “The Sopranos,” with Falco saying she’s “the luckiest woman in the world.”
The cast of “The Sopranos” also won for Ensemble in a Drama Series. Gandolfini handed the microphone off to Tony Sirico (”Paulie Walnuts”), who gave a heartfelt thank-you. Nice to see the whole cast together!

It’s raining on Los Angeles, but it’s not dampening the SAG Awards, as divas and dashing guys wander down the red carpet beneath a cozy canopy. (That’s Amanda Bynes in the picture, from EOnline.)
I started watching TV Guide’s coverage, but I can only take so much of Lisa Rinna and Joey Fatone, so switched over to E!’s coverage with Debbie Matenopoulos and Giuliana Rancic, who stepped in to replace the home-sick-in-bed Ryan Seacrest. What rotten luck! The one awards show this season, and he’s sick as a dog.
Things seem very low-key this year. Oh, sure, there’s …read more

Ellen Page, the adorable star of the runaway hit “Juno,” is the toast of this year’s awards circuit.
For her role as a pregnant teenager in “Juno,” the 20-year-old star has scored Oscar and Screen Actors Guild nominations (the SAG awards air tonight at 8 p.m. on TNT and TBS).
“Juno” is a surprise audience favorite and one of the few box-office hits to get an Academy Award nomination. “It’s crazy. It’s absolutely crazy,” said Page in a New York Daily News story.
But not everyone is surprised by Page’s success. “Ellen is completely flexible,” notes …read more

The 14th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards will air tomorrow night, Sunday, January 27, at 8 p.m. est on TBS and TNT.
With a waiver from the Writers Guild of America, this may be the big event this awards season. Especially after the less than exciting Golden Globes earlier this month.
Not counting the Critics Choice Awards, this will be the first non-picketed awards show this season.
Although rain of biblical proportions is expected to fall on Los Angeles tomorrow, the red carpet is still in full swing, giving not only the stars a chance to shine, but …read more

The Screen Actors Guild Awards is set for January 27, 2008 and it’s nice to know that at least one award ceremony won’t be affected by the Writers Guild of America strike – The WGA granted SAG a waiver for the show earlier this month.  It will be shown on TBS and TNT.  Here are the nominees:
