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.
