The 2011 SAG Awards: A Twitter Recap

Last night it seemed that everyone was taking in the 17th annual SAG Awards. I was, however, was not. It is probably for the best since The King’s Speech win for best ensemble would have made me throw something. Instead I followed everyone’s updates on Twitter.

Here are some of my favorites:

On the award show’s relevancy:

On Betty White’s win for best actress in a comedy series:

Best Supporting Actress: Mo’Nique, Precious

Best Actress: Sandra Bullock, Blind Side

Best Actor: Jeff Bridges, Crazy Heart

Best Ensemble: Inglorious Basterds.

I’d say except for Best Picture , the acting prizes are essentially set in stone. That 10 Best Picture nominees is really going to throw this year’s Academy Awards for a loop.

2010 SAG Award Nominees

Oh heavens. I have been super busy writing a final paper on Head-On and The Edge of Heaven, as well as theoretically analyzing my own film (Have you ever tried that? It’s hard.
