2008 SAG Awards: The Red Carpet
It’s raining on Los Angeles, but it’s not dampening the SAG Awards, as divas and dashing guys wander down the red carpet beneath a cozy canopy. (That’s Amanda Bynes in the picture, from EOnline.)
I started watching TV Guide’s coverage, but I can only take so much of Lisa Rinna and Joey Fatone, so switched over to E!’s coverage with Debbie Matenopoulos and Giuliana Rancic, who stepped in to replace the home-sick-in-bed Ryan Seacrest. What rotten luck! The one awards show this season, and he’s sick as a dog.
Things seem very low-key this year. Oh, sure, there’s the usual inane questions and answers about fashion, workouts, staying grounded, yada yada yada. And of course, lots of talk about the writer’s strike, and how everyone hopes it’ll be over soon, as well as a few touching remarks about Heath Ledger’s death.
I have to say, there’s nothing outlandish in the way of fashion. It’s all very old-style Hollywood glamour with beautiful gowns in solid colors, upswept hairstyles, classy jewelry, and traditional tuxes on the guys.
My observations (yeah, I know you’re just waiting to hear what I have to say):
Rainn Wilson is working on his “strike beard,” and said someone called him Sasquatch upon arrival.
Lots of pregnant chicks, including Cate Blanchett and Angela Kinsey from “The Office.”
Amanda Bynes and America Ferrera say they stay grounded by not partying (simple, huh?!) and staying focused on work and family.
Teri Hatcher says she wants to embrace getting older, so she doesn’t go for the botox and fillers, but tries to eat healthy and stay in shape.
Sandra Oh – What’s up with the big ink bow? Big bows should be outlawed, because they just never ever work. Sorry, Sandra.
Denis Leary brought his 17-year-old son, Jack, who’s hot! (And way too normal to be Leary’s son.)
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie arrived like Hollywood royalty. But she nearly ripped her own dress off by tripping over it when she got out of the limo! Ok, excuse me, but her full breasts and flowing gown? Dead giveaway on a pregnancy. You heard it here first. Ok, maybe not first, but you heard it here anyway.
Judith Light looks way better than she did years ago on “One Life to Live.”
Glenn Close said her career has been “quite a ride,” and she’s been “lucky enough to work with a great team of people.”
Ryan Gosling rocks! He went over and signed autographs for the crowd in the bleachers.
