Last night’s 16th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards were a (surprisingly) Basterd-ly affair, what with the cast of Inglourious Basterds being named the big winner at the show, taking home the Best Cast and Best Supporting Actor (for Christoph Waltz) trophies.
Jeff Bridges (Crazy Heart) and Mo’Nique (Precious) continued their winning streaks, while Sandra Bullock (The Blind Side) bested Meryl Streep (Julie & Julia) in the Best Actress category.
Can I just say that I officially want Bullock to get the Oscar in March.
Yes, she’s the popular choice, but the actress has consistently delivered strong work over the years, and so what if she should win for ahigh-grossing OK movie – more than OK, actually. She’s been a Sweetheart of America for years, and she’s, at last, having a moment.
Anyway, the SAGs on the TV side went to the casts of Glee and Mad Men, Kevin Bacon (Male Actor in a Made-for-TV Movie, for Taking Chance), Drew Barrymore (Female Actor in a Made-for-TV Movie, for Grey Gardens), The Good Wife’s Julianna Margulies, Dexter’s Michael C. Hall, and 30 Rock’s Tina Fey and Alec Baldwin).
The evening featured, as a highlight, the presentation, by Sandra Bullock, of the SAG Life Achievement Award to the one, the only Betty White.
