SAG Awards Bring Glamour Back to Hollywood

Yesterday’s 14th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards celebrated the outstanding performances of 2007.

The show gave Hollywood a shot in the arm in terms of glamour and managed to surprise – something that even in this unusual awards season was quite welcome.

Firstly, though, how cool was it to see the stars all decked out and on the red carpet? Becki Newton (TV’s Ugly Betty), you’re just gorge. And way to fuel the pregnancy rumors, Brangelina.

Secondly, it was nice to see that the night had at least one surprise in store, which came in the Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Supporting Role category when Ruby Dee (American Gangster) pulled an upset over front-runners Cate Blanchett (I’m Not There) and Amy Ryan (Gone Baby Gone).

And thirdly, kudos to the guild for favoring TV couples (i.e., undeniable chemistry): Tina Fey (pictured at right) and Alec Baldwin, both of TV’s 30 Rock, and Edie Falco and James Gandolfini, both of HBO’s The Sopranos, took home trophies for their work on their series.
