Los Angeles, February 5 – You’re not the only one tired of movie awards programs. The Screen Actors Guild awards are normally held on Sunday, but this year organizers changed it to Saturday in order to avoid an all-female guest list. With the Super Bowl game on Sunday, there would have been gaping holes in the program when it came time for Jamie Foxx, James Garner, Paul Giamatti and Morgan Freeman to pick up their awards - they would have all been at home watching the game. Ben Affleck was apparently already in front of the TV set with a bowl of chips, because his alleged girlfriend Jennifer Garner was dateless and ringless when she picked up her SAG trophy.
We’re not sure what they’re made of, but all the winners kvetched that the award statuettes were too heavy. Perfect for throwing at your TV screen the next day if your team loses the big game. Anyway, the SAG awards involved all the usual suspects, but their voting the "Sideways" cast best ensemble threw a wrench into the "Million Dollar Baby" vs. "Aviator" juggernaut. And gosh, we won’t see those Oscar nominees again until, um, let’s see, Monday. We’ll miss them.
