FEATURES: SAG Awards
Here at homebase this week was a preview of the weeknd's DGA Awards, but now there's also an intensive spread on the Screen Actors Guild ceremony, which will be aired live on TNT Sunday evening.Bob Verini has the lede, spotlighting the guild's introductory Stunt Ensemble category this year. The feature film nominees, by the way, are "300," "The Bourne Ultimatum," "I Am Legend," "The Kingdom" and "Pirates of the Caribbean: At Worl'd End." Kudos to SAG for finally giving these cats some recognition.
Libby McCarthy follows it up with details on the WGA waiver that will allow the show to go on, amidst the SAG's 75th anniversary celebration, while Addie Morfoot juxtaposes the wide array of ages represented by the year's crop of nominees.
Dave McNary gets into the guild's preps for talks, which may or may not end in a strike of their own, and David Mermelstein writes up actor Charles During's upcoming Lifetime Achievement Award.
There's also a timeline of SAG goings-on throughout the years, from 1933 through 2007. Very interesting that.
Give it a look.
