Hey! You made it…
[5:01:24 PM] Brad says: I am so excited for the “I’m an actor” introduction where they all tell us “funny” stories about how they became actors.
[5:02:24 PM] Brad says: Hey, it’s that guy from “Two and a Half Men”… I don’t know his name.
[5:02:43 PM] Laremy says: Wow, going after astronauts early! Bold move by Jon Cryer.
[5:02:52 PM] Brad says: Oh, it’s Jon Cryer… he’s an actor.
[5:03:23 PM] Brad says: Emily Watson is an actor too?
[5:04:21 PM] Brad says: Amber Riley is an actor and so is Jim Parsons.
[5:04:41 PM] Brad says: Michelle Williams is our first presenter and she will hand out the award for…
[5:04:48 PM] Laremy says: Long-time readers of the live blog remember when they took the “I’m an Actor” segment very seriously. Not anymore. They’ve become self aware.
[5:05:07 PM] Brad says: Best Supporting Actor… in a Movie! Let’s say Plummer and move on shall we?
[5:05:49 PM] Brad says: Armie Hammer is nominated. You hear about him getting caught with pot cookies and brownies in Texas or something like that?
5:06:38 PM: And the winner for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Supporting Role is
[5:07:54 PM] Brad says: Nick Nolte looks like Kenny Rogers… either that or I am crazy.
[5:09:06 PM] Laremy says: Plummer is sweeping through this awards season like the Mongol horde.
[5:09:44 PM] Brad says: Clooney and Shailene Woodley are out to introduce their film, The Descendants, as one of the night’s Best Ensemble nominees. Not sure what I think about the actual cast announcing their own film, but, whatever…
[5:10:10 PM] Brad says: By the way, is Matthew Lillard going to start getting more real acting jobs thanks to that film?
[5:10:24 PM] Laremy says: Shailene Woodley seems very poised. At her age I’m fairly certain my main accomplishment was ordering pizza via the phone.
[5:10:40 PM] Laremy says: Don Cheadle is here, he’s an actor.
[5:10:51 PM] Brad says: Don (go see The Guard) Cheadle is out to present the winners for Best Supporting Actress in a movie…
[5:11:10 PM] Laremy says: I like that The SAG Awards go big early. Here comes a little love for Octavia Spencer, yes?
[5:11:26 PM] Brad says: We all pretty much agree on Octavia Spencer right? Yet, I wouldn’t be overly surprised if Bejo won.
5:12:27 PM: And the winner for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Supporting Role is
[5:13:06 PM] Laremy says: If they didn’t do TV awards they could cut this show down to half an hour.
[5:13:12 PM] Brad says: Sort of surprised they went with two movie awards right out of the gate, but I guess that just means nothing but TV now until the end.
[5:19:28 PM] Brad says: “The Mentalist” solves crimes with his mind. Can you top that? No, didn’t think so. Oh, yeah, we’re on a commercial break.
[5:19:37 PM] Laremy says: Does the mentalist ever say “Give me a second, I’m thinking here.” If I were the screenwriter for that show, that would be my go to move.
[5:21:13 PM] Brad says: Julianna Margulies and Bryan Cranston are out to present Best Actor in a Comedy Series. I always go to Alec Baldwin, every now and then he wins.
[5:21:59 PM] Brad says: Oh yeah, “Modern Family” is popular too.
[5:22:34 PM] Brad says: Everyone likes Eric Stonestreet right?
5:22:45 PM: And the winner for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Comedy Series is
[5:23:07 PM] Brad says: There you have it… gut instinct, his sixth consecutive SAG award in this category.
[5:23:35 PM] Laremy says: Alec Baldwin has won six straight SAG Awards? That’s quite a streak.
[5:25:22 PM] Brad says: Regina King and Kyle Chandler are our next presenters for Best Actress in a Comedy Series… Laremy’s favorite category.
[5:26:02 PM] Laremy says: I did love Julie Bowen in “Ed”. That was just a really nice show about a bowling alley lawyer.
[5:26:44 PM] Brad says: Tina Fey? Sofia Vergara? Betty White? I will go with Betty White.
5:26:57 PM: And the winner for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Comedy Series is
[5:27:47 PM] Laremy says: Is anyone actually watching “Hot in Cleveland”? I’ve never met a soul who wants to chat with me about “Hot in Cleveland”. And people talk to me about an awful lot of entertainment topics.
[5:28:05 PM] Brad says: When will the Betty White love end? Is she really funny or just old and has the ability to read?
[5:29:01 PM] Brad says: Who watches “Hot in Cleveland”? What channel is it on? What day is it on?
[5:29:03 PM] Laremy says: It will never end. It’s Betty White’s world and we’re just paying rent.
[5:29:47 PM] Laremy says: Brad was just saying how much he loved Jessica Chastain in Take Shelter.
[5:29:47 PM] Brad says: Jessica Chastain graces the stage and is showing love for the guild of which she belongs. In short, this is an awesome segment!
[5:30:42 PM] Brad says: Ahhh, they are paying homage to the actors that don’t get as much love. I take it back, this is a good segment.
[5:30:59 PM] Laremy says: Actors want to let you know that acting is important.
[5:32:00 PM] Brad says: Come on, they threw Twilight in there. Gimme a break.
[5:32:46 PM] Brad says: Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick are here to tell us who the winners for Best Ensemble for a Comedy Series.
[5:34:33 PM] Brad says: “30 Rock”? “Big Bang Theory”? “Glee”? “Modern Family”? “The Office”? I’ll go with “Modern Family”
5:34:50 PM: And the winner for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series is
[5:35:23 PM] Brad says: I feel like I’m an awards version of “The Mentalist”.
[5:38:27 PM] Laremy says: “Modern Family” is very buzzy. It’s much like a bee in that respect.
[5:42:46 PM] Brad says: Oh man, we are back from commercial break and Glenn Close and Kenneth Branagh will now tell us the winner for Best Actress in TV Movie/Mini-Series
[5:43:44 PM] Brad says: Who is going to win this one…? I need to see all the nominees. Can’t be Betty White twice can it?
[5:44:00 PM] Brad says: Okay, it will be Kate Winslet.
5:44:12 PM: And the winner for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Television Movie or Miniseries is
[5:44:21 PM] Brad says: Told yah, “Mentalist”!
[5:45:14 PM] Brad says: It’s Octavia Spencer, Emma Stone and Viola Davis to tell us The Help is a Best Ensemble nominee.
[5:46:19 PM] Laremy says: I appreciate that Kate Winslet didn’t show up. She’s busy just living her life.
[5:47:13 PM] Brad says: And now Zoe Saldana and Armie Hammer say words that were written for them to tell us the winner for Actor in a TV Movie or Mini-Series.
[5:47:55 PM] Laremy says: I’m not entirely sure you want to be comparing yourself to the mentalist. That guy only has his wits to rely upon.
[5:48:30 PM] Brad says: My guess is… Fishburne
5:48:54 PM: And the winner for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Television Movie or Miniseries is
[5:48:56 PM] Laremy says: Your guess was wrong.
[5:49:16 PM] Brad says: My mentalist powers are failing me, but wow, two winners in a row have decided not to show up.
[5:51:25 PM] Brad says: I am bored by the man talking right now. His name is Ken Howard and he is the president of SAG. Yay.
[5:51:56 PM] Laremy says: The guy from “30 Rock” is the president of SAG? And Alec Baldwin has won six SAG Awards in a row? To quote Thomas Haden Church from the hit movie Sideways, “Sounds fishy.”
[5:52:16 PM] Laremy says: SAG and AFTRA are merging! They are forming one super Volton acting union!
[5:52:46 PM] Brad says: So, SAG and AFTRA are merging. Isn’t this exciting?? I knew you’d care.
[5:53:06 PM] Laremy says: Can I have a new page now??!!
[5:53:26 PM] Brad says: Okay.
