Award show round up – results from the SAG Awards and the Producers Guild Awards
I have award show ennui. I’ve simply stopped watching the telecasts and have turned to fellow film journalist tweets to get my news (usually punctuated with colorful language and excessive exclamation points). It’s the nature of the beast, though – awards season means we have shaken out the best and the brightest for lauding (or, in some cases, the hyped and the pushed, but that’s a rant for another day), and results are going to look more and more similar as we slouch toward awards Bethlehem – the Oscars! The highlights now are simply praying for surprises and taking bets on who gives the best acceptance speeches.
Fortunately, this past weekend’s Screen Actors Guild Awards and Producers Guild Awards provided a little bit of both. Sandra Bullock used her SAG acceptance speech as platform for telling her husband she still finds him hot (this bit alone makes her somewhat-unexpected win almost worth it). The Producers Guild chose THE HURT LOCKER as their Best Picture. Maybe I’m being too harsh on award shows. Maybe they still have merit. Maybe.
Hit the jump to see the winners for both awards!
