*Yawn* SAG Award Winners

The Screen Actors Guild Awards were on TNT last night, and unless you’re one of the people who fawns over red carpet fashion, there wasn’t a single reason to tune in. Because it was an actors union celebrating actors and their performances (SAG doesn’t give out awards for trivial things like writing and directing), it was an unstoppable loop of self-congratulation. There was even a montage of the brave actors who make our world better by starring in commercials. Ugh.

Anyway, the biggest stories out of this were HBO — which cleaned up with “Boardwalk Empire,” You Don’t Know Jack, and Temple Grandin — and Betty White, who won for Best Actress in a comedy for “Hot in Cleveland.” It’s been a long time coming, but that should be enough to start the Betty White backlash.

Full list of winners below.

Jennifer Lawrence, Winter’s Bone

Hilary Swank, Conviction

After I saw Black Swan, I figured no one could top Natalie Portman’s performance. Then No Strings Attached came out, and I finally saw Winter’s Bone, and the combination Portman being in a film with Ashton Kutcher and Jennifer Lawrence being a complete badass is more enough for me to root for Lawrence.

Outstanding Performance by the Cast of a Motion Picture

The King’s Speech – WINNER

Black Swan

The Fighter

The Kids Are Alright

The Social Network

By the way, for any aspiring copy editors out there, “alright” is not a word. It’s two words: “all right.” Of course, the constant misuse means that alright will eventually be correct, but until then I’m gonna hate The Kids Are Alright.
