SAG Awards

Didn't post the winners yet because a) I'm on pain meds because of falling on the bloody ice and b) I am still stunned that Helena wore something normal.

Here are you winners:

“The King’s Speech” and “The Fighter” were the obvious favourites during the 17th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards held Sunday night, with the two movies winning two awards each. The SAG ceremony focused only on acting achievements.

Two trophies also went to HBO movie for television “Boardwalk Empire”. It was also a big night for Golden Globe Best Actress Natalie Portman, who was also the Critic’s Choice for her role in the movie “Black Swan”.

Golden Globe winners “The Social Network” and “Glee” were went away with nothing. “The Social Network” was nominated for two awards, one for Jesse Eisenberg for Best Actor and another one for Best Cast Performance, but went away empty handed.

Eisenberg lost to Colin Firth, who was given the lead actor winner for “The King’s Speech”. The top prize for the night went to the cast of the said movie, which includes Helena Bonham Carter and Geoffrey Rush.
