yet another award show has released its list of nominees. the sag awards - set to take place on january 23rd and be broadcast on tnt - is one of the most revered awards within the industry as it is the nominees' peers who pick who wins what. but, not too much attention is paid to the actual show as it isn't aired on a big network. the thing i like about the sags is that they honor the entire cast and not just a single supporting actor. this way everyone gets a shot at glory. the only thing that's a little annoying is that they don't separate the comedy and drama awards in the film categories. i feel like it's almost easier to compare tv performances across the board than it is movie roles. the hard part is figuring out what the hell is a comedy anymore. anyway, here's the list of the bigger categories and who i think will take the statues.
outstanding performance by a male actor in a leading role
- jeff bridges, crazy heart
- george clooney, up in the air* the whole cast didn't nab a nom, but clooney will take the award home
- colin firth, a single man
- morgan freeman, invictus
- jeremy renner, the hurt locker (who?)
outstanding performance by a female actor in a leading role
- sandra bullock, the blind side* sandy will take this one, but gabourey and the precious team is bound to get the ensemble award
- helen mirren, the last station
- carey mulligan, an education
- gabourey sidibe, precious
- meryl streep, julie and julia
outstanding performance by a male actor in a supporting role
- matt damon, invictus
- woody harrelson, the messenger
- christopher plummer, the last station
- stanley tucci, the lovely bones* while the flick hasn't even hit major theaters, tucci's transformation is said to be super eery
- christoph waltz, inglorious basterds
outstanding performance by a female actor in a supporting role
- penelope cruz, nine
- vera farmiga, up in the air
- anna kendrick, up in the air
- diane kruger, inglorious basterds
- monique, precious * her transformation from comedian into serious actress is almost a lock for the role, though kendrick might steal this one
outstanding performance by a cast in a motion picture
- an education
- the hurt locker
- inglorious basterds
- nine
- precious* someone has to reward mariah for surviving glitter
outstanding performance by a male actor in a drama series
- simon baker, the mentalist
- bryan cranston, breaking bad
- michael c hall, dexter
- jon hamm, mad men
- hugh laurie, house* tried and true
outstanding performance by a female actor in a drama series

- charlie sheen, two and a half men
outstanding performance by a female actor in a comedy series
- christina applegate, samantha who?

- edie falco, nurse jackie* by far the hardest category to choose, falco's jackie is the best character on this list. though i'd love to see applegate grab the award as a big f-u to abc for canceling her show in favor of kelsey grammar's stinker hank

- julia louis-dreyfus, the new adventures of old christine
outstanding performance by an ensemble in a drama series
- the closer

- curb your enthusiasm
- glee* well-deserved, but a long shot
- modern family
