The 23rd Annual Screen Actors' Guild Awards

I didn't get to watch these, of course, but I loved hearing the news. The SAGs always seem to be a little bit different; sometimes they predict the Oscars, sometimes they carve their own path. As always, winners are bolded.

21st Annual Screen Actors Guild - Updated Winners

It's that time of year again - when my blog is resurrected as I follow the awards season to its conclusion. I find it fascinating and love to see who won.

Currently, I have no idea where I'll be when the Awards actually air, so no promise of liveblogging. However, I will probably do a separate post with the winners when they're announced. The Awards air on Sunday, January 25, 2015!

Update: I was unable to watch the broadcast, so I'm updating the awards (as always, winners are bolded) on January 26!

Here they are.

OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE BY A CAST IN A MOTION PICTURE
Birdman
Boyhood
The Grand Budapest Hotel
The Imitation Game
The Theory of Everything

OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE BY A MALE ACTOR IN A LEADING ROLE
Steve Carell - Foxcatcher
Benedict Cumberbatch - The Imitation Game
Jake Gyllenhaal - Nightcrawler
Michael Keaton - Birdman
Eddie Redmayne - The Theory of Everything

Eddie is cleaning up! He's definitely in the Oscar race - I'm thinking it's between him and Michael Keaton at this point. I'm still surprised Benedict isn't getting any recognition, despite not having seen the film yet.

OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE BY A FEMALE ACTOR IN A LEADING ROLE
Jennifer Aniston - Cake
Felicity Jones - The Theory of Everything
Julianne Moore - Still Alice
Rosamund Pike - Gone Girl
Reese Witherspoon - Wild

Julianne Moore is also cleaning up. I'm thinking she's the top contender for the Oscars.

OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE BY A MALE ACTOR IN A SUPPORTING ROLE
Robert Duvall - The Judge
Ethan Hawke - Boyhood
Edward Norton - Birdman
Mark Ruffalo - Foxcatcher
J.K. Simmons - Whiplash

I think I see a lock here. Exciting, because J.K. Simmons is a severely underrated actor!

OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE BY A FEMALE ACTOR IN A SUPPORTING ROLE
Patricia Arquette - Boyhood
Keira Knightley - The Imitation Game
Emma Stone - Birdman
Meryl Streep - Into the Woods
Naomi Watts - St. Vincent

Another lock, I think! Well deserved, she was incredible in Boyhood.

OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE BY AN ENSEMBLE IN A DRAMA SERIES
Boardwalk Empire
Downton Abbey
Game of Thrones
Homeland
House of Cards

OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE BY AN ENSEMBLE IN A COMEDY SERIES
The Big Bang Theory
Brooklyn Nine-Nine
Modern Family
Orange Is the New Black
Veep

I'm loving seeing something OTHER than Big Bang (which I have some issues with) and Modern Family take home the prize. Especially OITNB, which I adore, despite its complete break away from the actual story of Piper Kerman.

OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE BY A MALE ACTOR IN A DRAMA SERIES
Steve Buscemi - Boardwalk Empire
Peter Dinklage - Game of Thrones
Woody Harrelson - True Detective
Matthew McConaughey - True Detective
Kevin Spacey - House of Cards

Can't say I'm surprised here - Kevin Spacey is a brilliant actor.

OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE BY A FEMALE ACTOR IN A DRAMA SERIES
Claire Danes - Homeland
Viola Davis - How to Get Away With Murder
Julianna Margulies - The Good Wife
Tatiana Maslany - Orphan Black
Maggie Smith - Downton Abbey
Robin Wright - House of Cards

YES. YES! Though I gave up on the show, Viola Davis was incredibly talented and brought an amazing presence to the screen. I'm so excited.

OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE BY A MALE ACTOR IN A COMEDY SERIES
Ty Burrell - Modern Family
Louis C.K. - Louie
William H. Macy - Shameless
Jim Parsons - The Big Bang Theory
Eric Stonestreet - Modern Family

OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE BY A FEMALE ACTOR IN A COMEDY SERIES
Uzo Aduba - Orange Is the New Black
Julie Bowen - Modern Family
Edie Falco - Nurse Jackie
Julia Louis-Dreyfus - Veep
Amy Poehler - Parks and Recreation

YES! You better believe I was rooting for Uzo. She is absolutely amazing, and brings such an important character to life in a sensitive way. She's incredible, and has been passed over so many times I was starting to get really angry. Well deserved.

OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE BY A MALE ACTOR IN A TELEVISION MOVIE OR MINISERIES
Adrien Brody - Houdini
Mark Ruffalo - The Normal Heart
Benedict Cumberbatch - Sherlock: His Last Vow
Richard Jenkins - Olive Kitteridge
Billy Bob Thornton - Fargo

I heard about Mark Ruffalo's win last night, and I was so excited. I haven't seen The Normal Heart yet, but I've heard amazing things, and from the clips I've seen of Mark's performance, this is well deserved.

OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE BY A FEMALE ACTOR IN A TELEVISION MOVIE OR MINISERIES
Ellen Burstyn - Flowers in the Attic
Maggie Gyllenhaal - The Honorable Woman
Frances McDormand - Olive Kitteridge
Julia Roberts - The Normal Heart
Cicely Tyson - The Trip to Bountiful

Frances McDormand is a queen, and I'm glad to see her win. I haven't seen any of these, though, so I don't have an opinion beyond loving Frances.

OUTSTANDING ACTION PERFORMANCE BY A STUNT ENSEMBLE IN A MOTION PICTURE
Fury
Get On Up
The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies
Unbroken
X-Men: Days of Future Past

I have a feeling this may be one of Unbroken's few wins. I haven't seen the film yet, but I haven't heard anything good about it. It's an incredible story, and I loved Laura Hillenbrand's book, since she's a talented historical writer in my view, so I'm worried that the film didn't live up to that.

OUTSTANDING ACTION PERFORMANCE BY A STUNT ENSEMBLE IN A COMEDY OR DRAMA SERIES
24: Live Another Day
Boardwalk Empire
Game of Thrones
Homeland
Sons of Anarchy
The Walking Dead

There are really no surprises here. I'm predicting a lot of these for Oscar contenders as well; the SAG Awards are often a great indicator of how things might go. I'll definitely be waiting to see if there are any surprises when the night rolls around. (Really, I'll be rooting for Rosamund Pike for Gone Girl; she was fantastic. But I haven't seen a lot of the other ones yet either!)

UPDATE: I still thought Rosamund Pike was incredible, and I can't get enough of her now, but from what I hear, Julianne Moore is absolutely incredible in Still Alice. There were some great performances this year, and despite the Oscars' complete  lack of diversity in its nominations, it might still be an interesting race. I'm most excited about Uzo Aduba's win from this list for sure, though.

The 20th Annual SAG Awards - Complete List

The 20th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards are here! I've had to resort to watching a rerun, but it still counts, right? Let's go with that. As usual, the winners will be bolded as they're announced on this broadcast, and commentary will be below the categories. There won't be any time comments this time, as I'm not ACTUALLY liveblogging. And here we go! (I am not livetweeting the SAG Awards.)

LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD
Rita Moreno


I feel like Rob Lowe is STILL a teen heartthrob. An all ages heartthrob.

I love Steve Coogan! He gets nowhere near enough love. He's brilliant, and also brilliantly funny.

Oh Cuba Gooding Jr! I haven't seen anything from him lately. I'm excited to see him again.

Did Brad Pitt shape his hair like that for a role? Interesting haircut.

Matt Damon and glasses = ideal. But also, thanks for being amazing.

Shockingly, I was NOT spoiled for these awards! This is all brand new information. NOTE: I saw August: Osage County, and it was spectacular to me. Well deserved nominations for Julia Roberts and Meryl Streep. Also, can we talk about Benedict Cumberbatch MORE PLEASE?

LOVE that - "shining a light under the floorboards of this nation and showing what we stand on." A really affecting line from Lupita's speech. And a shoutout to Yale Drama."Do you know Brad Pitt, Daddy? I'm going to be in a movie with him." "I don't know him personally, but I'm glad you got a job." Amazing anecdote!

Well, at least Jeremy Renner got to BE THERE. STILL MAD ABOUT THE LACK OF RECOGNITION.

There has been a lot of controversy on my Twitter feed about American Hustle lately, but I am firmly in the 'I love it' camp.

I am really glad to see a newcomer getting such great recognition, especially for what seems to be kind of a scary role. It's important to recognise newcomers in their own right, and not just as newcomers, as many award shows seem to do. Barkhad Abdi FTW!

I had NO IDEA Jared Leto hadn't ever been nominated for a SAG before. Travesty, but I'm so glad that he did get to win. "Wonderful tribe of dreamers" - love that description of SAG-AFTRA!And thank you, Jared, for dedicating it to those who have been affected by this disease. This is so important; I believe it's way more important than thanking people who got the performer the job or the like; it almost makes people forget who the film would really impact, especially when it comes to iconic stories such as this. I need to see Dallas Buyers Club very soon.

Tina Fey's last nomination for 30 Rock! Kind of bittersweet. But well deserved.

Bahahaha adorable acceptance speech from Julia Louis-Dreyfus! Sometimes the comedy bits get tired, but this one stayed fresh and funny!

I love to watch those camera shots when the subjects have no idea they're being filmed. Dame Helen Mirren looked like she was about to fall asleep.

DID I JUST NOT KNOW THAT JOHN CUSACK IS IN THE BUTLER? (Also, why do we always have to call it Lee Daniels' The Butler? I understand he made it, but I've never really understood the practice of owning a film in that way.)

Fourth consecutive win for Modern Family ensemble! People truly love this show. I do enjoy it. Also, "we're going to make Sofia talk, because America loves her and her boobs." This is very true.

I'm a big fan of presidents' speeches, actually. Always interesting to see the people behind these organisations! Also, you gotta love the Dakota Fanning shout out. (I'M FOUR YEARS OLDER THAN DAKOTA FANNING, IN OTHER WORDS. MY LIFE IS NOTHING.)

I feel like Elisabeth Moss is actually adorable. She looks so happy for Helen - and that's such a great thing to see. And Helen just returned that - oh my goodness! She gave her a special round of applause, from herself. If I were Elisabeth, I would probably flip out.

EMMA THOMPSON FOR HOSTING ALL THE AWARD SHOWS EVER. Preferably including Ewan McGregor with that fantastic hair.

You gotta love EGOTs! There's only been eleven so far. I'm always rooting for people to get there; it's such an achievement. And Rita Moreno is well deserving! This woman. This. Woman. This actress. (And yes, I say actress. That's a WHOLE other blog post.) Getting to hear her sing on her feet is phenomenal as well. My mum also just said she's better than Diane Keaton. WELL, YEAH.

The In Memoriam section always makes me cry. But it's so important to have. Although it also makes me a little sad that sometimes people die, and you have no idea, because they didn't fit the definition of being famous anymore. It's weird to think of how the media explodes about certain deaths, but not others. It also makes you think about death and how people react to it. But I think In Memoriam segments are a great way of remembering and honouring those who have passed.

My Blog Will Be Updated More - SAG Award Nominations

It's award season - and that means my blog becomes active again! I swear I will be publishing more posts over the course of 2014, with actual content. But in the meantime, here we go into award season, and that means it'll all culminate with my liveblog of the Academy Awards in February.

Here we go with the Screen Actors Guild Awards nominations! The 20th Annual SAG Awards will be airing January 18. I'm hoping to try to watch them and do a live blog like I do for the Academy Awards, but that will depend on me finding the channel they're on! Check out www.sagawards.org for full information.

This should be fascinating. I am surprised, yet pleasantly so, by James Gandolfini's posthumous nomination. Not sure if that will be a deciding factor, but it's nice to see one of his last pieces being so well received. And as always, I love the inclusion of the stunt performances. Usually there are writing awards, but I haven't seen any mention of those nominations as of yet. I'll update this blog post if I get more information!
