[IMG:L]Screen Actors Guild Awards — 8/7c on TBS, TNT
It’s becoming eerily apparent that the SAG Awards are the Oscars of all ceremonies this year.
With no interference/picketing/objections from the striking Writers Guild of America and with February’s Academy Awards ceremony very much up in the air (despite the Academy’s current poker face when it comes to the subject), the SAGs are the hottest ticket in town, potentially of this year.
That’s because the stars will shine on the red carpet–take that, Golden Globes!–and there will be acceptance speeches for There Will Be Blood, et al.
It’s a no-holds-barred affair tonight, a much needed one for rising stars and awards-show lovers alike.
Among those slated to present: Denzel Washington, Kate Hudson, Matthew McConaughey, Zac Efron, Ruby Dee and Emile Hirsch. Burt Reynolds and Denis Leary, meanwhile, will present Charles Durning with a lifetime achievement award
