2012 SAG Awards

RYAN: You know, it’s such a delightful mix of high and low each year at the SAG Awards… the actors are all kinds of gawky but they clean up so nicely.

CAROLINE: And it’s so self-congratulatory you can’t help but love how seriously they all take themselves and their work.

RYAN: Well we live for their movies, so it all comes out in the wash. And while I appreciate the whole dream-come-true aspect, I do see what you’re saying. But as far as the winners go, there were a couple lil surprises.

CAROLINE: There were also some surprises in the fashion too.

RYAN: You mean Viola’s voluptuous twins?

CAROLINE: Seriously. Could her gown have been any more ill fitting?

RYAN: I thought Glenn Close’s arms looked like they were from another planet.

CAROLINE: [laughs’ And Meryl too. Thank God she’s so revered as an actor because she certainly can never make the best dressed list. What was with the weightlifting belt?

RYAN: Yeah, no one really hit a fashion high note last night.

CAROLINE: I expected George Clooney to win best actor and the cast of The Artist to win over The Help.

RYAN: Right, those choices were the more predictable ones. But it’s always nice to see the unexpected take a trophy. And Jean Dujardin is so friggin cute!

CAROLINE: He is expressive. If only he could learn English… then we’d really be on to something.

RYAN: I’d like to see him do something opposite Marion Cotillard.

CAROLINE: That should be a given.

RYAN: Let’s list the winners for the movie categories. And I’d like to take special notice of a category that was not covered during the broadcast but awarded Harry Potter – Stunt Ensemble.

CAROLINE: Yeah, no one really knows which actors that covers… the stuntmen I suppose. Here are the winners:

Best Cast, Motion Picture The Help

Best Actress, Motion Picture Viola Davis, The Help

Best Actor, Motion Picture Jean Dujardin, The Artist
