1156327122009l.jpgThe intrigue!
Will Helen Mirren continue her award season domination and win another trophy for "the Queen" or will "The Devil Wears Prada" star Meryl Streep win in an upset? Which movie will win for best ensemble? Is this the chance for "Dreamgirls" to shine to make up for its Oscar snub? Or will "Babel" become a firm Oscar front-runner if it wins the night's top prize. Last year's upset win for the cast of "Crash" over the cast of "Brokeback Mountain" was the first indication that "Brokeback" wasn't the Oscar shoo-in everyone had thought.
280_ldicaprio_061017_albert.jpg Will Forest Whitaker's nervous, mumbling speech at the Golden Globe Awards doom his chances for "The Last King of Scotland"? I saw "Blood Diamond" a few days ago and I'm now all about Leonardo DiCaprio, who is up for a total of three SAG Awards tonight.
Will the cast of "Grey's Anatomy" win the SAG award for best ensemble and if so, WHAT will happen backstage? And for God's sake, what will everyone be wearing???
SAG03Title_SD.jpgThe answer to these and other questions will start being answered around 3 p.m. today when I start blogging from the Shrine Auditorium, site of the Screen Actors Guild Awards. Go to Dailynews.com and the On the Red Carpet blog will be prominently featured on the home page. I'll try and bring you as many tidbits as I can before, during and after the show.
jakeheath.jpgp.s. Here is a shot of Jake and Heath from last year's SAG Awards. I have to say, awards are fun but in the end, it really does come down to what the movie leaves you with. I can remember just about every moment of "Brokeback" and how I felt. I remember some of Ledger's scene so vividly: the throwing up when he leaves Jake the first time, the smelling of Jake's shirt after he dies, the frustration and conflict. Phillip Seymour Hoffman won all the top prizes last year for "Capote" and he was damned good. But Ledger's performance is the one that will stand the test of time as will "Brokeback" over "Crash." Often tmes, the true classics don't win the awards - and they don't need to.
