Rod Blagojevich Impeached

Rod Blagojevich was impeached earlier this afternoon. The Illinois, now former, governor was voted out by the senate 59-0. This is some good info straight from the AP (thanks to the news room at Annenberg TV News)! There must be some corruption causing, seat selling, crazy powder in the water over there. Remember, Blagojevich isn't the first corrupt official, or the second or even fourth, for that matter. Maybe now he'll have more time to do more important things, like coiffure his hair.

Welcome to The H Scene

Welcome, readers! This is your one stop for the most relevant entertainment industry news, gossip, and more. I will be pulling information from the Trades (primarily Variety, and The Hollywood Reporter) as well as from other online news sources and credible gossip bloggers. Information about the industry is relevant to all of us because the politics of Hollywood ultimately govern the quality of the movies, TV shows, books, music, etc. that we watch, read and listen to. We all love to be entertained, so why not know more about what goes on behind the scenes? Enjoy!

The SAG Awards

Deja vu. Oh, wait. Tonight wasn't a Golden Globes rerun? Right, right, it was the 2009 SAG Awards at the Shrine Auditorium. If it wasn't for the different venue, I doubt anyone would have noticed anyway. With the exception of a few deviations, tonight's ceremony seemed to mimic the Globes exactly. Slumdog Millionaire and 30 Rock cleaned house and appropriately, Heath Ledger was awarded "Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Supporting Role." Noticeably missing from the stage, however, were the SAG-snubbed Brad Pitt, Leonardo Di Caprio, and Clint Eastwood for The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Revolutionary Road, and Grand Torino, respectively. At least the ceremony went off without a hitch, which is more than I can say for the Globes this year (The official Golden Globes website accidentally revealed Anne Hathaway as "Best Actress" 72 hours before the ceremony, which was better than the blunder of 2008, the total cancellation of the Globes due to the writer's strike). Now, who's looking forward to the Academy Awards?

Here's a complete list of the nominees and winner of this year's Awards.
