The SAG Awards
CAROLINE: So basically, if you didn’t win the Golden Globe, they gave you the SAG award; with the exception of Rachel Weisz, who won both.
RYAN: ‘Sactly. And I’m just really shocked and surprised that Ang Lee was totally snubbed by the SAG Awards.
CAROLINE: (laughs) I, too, would like to speak out against that.
RYAN: He has been so recognized by every other award ceremony this awards season and yet completely overlooked by the SAGs.
CAROLINE: He did get a nice shout-out from Sean Hayes, though.
RYAN: But the one person I have to talk about, who means nothing to us, but if you saw her on the red carpet, she looked like she was dressed like a child… Jane Seymour. C’mon!
CAROLINE: Didn’t see.
RYAN: If you’re over 30, the dress should hit below the knee… and in Jane’s case, there should be a train.
CAROLINE: Well I don’t know how much the SAG awards influences the Oscars, but it raises some interesting questions. There’s a bit of a dead heat going on between Reese Witherspoon, who won the SAG and Golden Globe for “Walk the Line.” And Felicity Huffman who won the GG for “Transamerica.”
RYAN: And I really thought Felicitous would sweep tonight, in both TV and film categories.
CAROLINE: I thought she would too. But it was nice to see Reese get a lil emotional.
RYAN: And all humble, “I’m a girl from Tennessee.” And her hubby, Ryan Phillippe, winning tonight also for the cast of “Crash…” So happy cos I loved that movie.
CAROLINE: I know, love that. Having said that, this is the most self-congratulatory telecast I have ever seen.
RYAN: Well, I suppose since everyone else is awarding actors, it was only a matter of time until they begin awarding themselves. It’s weird. … the award season for movies is longer than any natural season in the world.
CAROLINE: I know… it’s like from November through April.
RYAN: Congrats to Shirls Temple… via today’s lil darling, Dakota Fanning, the most prolific actress of our time.
CAROLINE: Dakota’s like a gremlin. When one pops up, there’s like four more of them later…
RYAN: (laughs)
CAROLINE: But it was nice to see her without her braces.
RYAN: I thought, as if it was possible for her to get any more beautiful… Charlize Theron looked fantastique!
CAROLINE: She always looks great.
RYAN: But tonight… wowzah!
CAROLINE: Was Stuart there, on her arm?
RYAN: I didna see him. And I didna see Kirsten Dunst alongside Jake Gyllenhaal.
CAROLINE: Yeah but they broke up.
RYAN: Can we talk about Catherine Keener? What drug was she on?
CAROLINE: I was like, “Girlfriend, what’s goin’ on? What’s that paper in your hand?” I know she’s sort of nontraditional looking, but I think she’s so pretty.
RYAN: She’s pretty but on some kind of drug. But also acting like a total jackass was Heather Ledger when he intro’d “Brokeback Mountain.”
CAROLINE: Fidgity.
RYAN: Anyway… who really gives a ‘chit’ about the SAG awards? All we care about now is the Oscars.
CAROLINE: Indeed and we’ll be sure to let you know our feelings on the nominations after they come out.
RYAN: Good Night and G’Luck!
