SAG Awards!

It’s that’s time again ! Awards Season!  The SAG Nominee’s were announced today and it should be interesting to see if the Golden Globes follow suit tomorrow.  I’m a little underwhelmed with some of the choices, “The Descendants”  is getting a lot of attention although I’m not sure it deserves all the hype. And while I enjoyed watching “Moneyball” it doesn’t ring award- for me anyway.  And no mention of  “Hanna”, “Super 8”, “The Ides of March” or  “The Girl with the  Dragon Tattoo”  ??? Nothing? Nada?  Erg!

In the television arena, Steve Carrell better take home that damn award. I love this damn show and I love/miss Michael Scott.  (This goes for you too Golden Globes- he better walk away with it! )

On the dramatic side,  I’ll be rooting for Bryan Cranston who’s done more than show the audience what he’s capable of as an actor. Go get it Cranston! You definitely deserve it.

Now, on to the important stuff, the list!
