Screen Actors Guild Awards: Play-by-Play Results
After a cute start with funny introductions and congratulations to the Screen Actors Guild on their 75th anniversary, the awards were under way. Here are the results in the order they were announced.
Outstanding performance by a male actor in a drama series:
WINNER: James Gandolfini "The Sopranos"
NOT THE WINNERS aka NOMINEES:
Michael C. Hall, "Dexter"
John Hamm "Mad Men"
Hugh Laurie, "House"
James Spader, "Boston Legal"
My reaction play-by-play:
First: Sopranos is still eligible for awards shows? I thought they’d finished out the series before this season.
Second: Aww shucks, Michael c. Hall, Hugh Laurie, and John Hamm all got robbed.
Third: Sorry, James Spader. I didn’t realize Boston Legal was still on.
Outstanding performance by a female actor in a drama series:
WINNER: Edie Falco, "The Sopranos"
NOT THE WINNERS aka NOMINEES:
Glenn Close, "Damages"
Sally Field, "Brothers & Sisters"
Holly Hunter, "Saving Grace"
Kyra Sedgwick, "The Closer"
First: I only saw Damages, Brothers & Sisters, and Saving Grace one time each.
Second: Kyra Sedgwick seems to do a decent job in the Closer and she was in "The Game Plan" which I watched last night. Hope she wins.
Third: Sopranos is still eligible for awards shows?Blair Underwood is now reviewing the history of television and contract negotiations and how the Screen Actors Guild was formed.
