SAG Awards: So Amazingly Good

There's something about the SAG Awards that just puts the warm fuzzies in me that the Golden Globes, Oscars, and Emmys don't. Maybe it's the fact that the people voting are the people acting, rather than some unseen Foreign Press or Academy. Or maybe it's the idea of people and movies and shows that deserve to win...actually winning.

I do admit, the "My name is _____, and I'm an actor" speech is cheesy. And it could be cut most of the time. Except for when Victor Garber gets adorably nostalgic with his speech, or when Will Arnett says "I'm Will Arnett, and I'm an alcoholi--actor."

So for the winners...

I pretty much agree with all of these winners, and I actually screamed when Slumdog Millionaire, Hugh Laurie, and Meryl Streep won awards. Mainly because, I really loved all three but figured they had no chance of winning their awards against their more critically acclaimed competition. So cheers to everyone who won.

And Hugh Laurie, if you're reading this, sorry about losing $100 betting on James Spader AGAINST YOURSELF.
