The SAG Awards happened last night, and I wish I could tell you whether anything interesting happened, but I was curled up in a little ball hoping handfuls of advil would bring down the fever I seem to have caught in Sundance. The Hipster Flu, I believe it’s called. Ha, who am I kidding, I wouldn’t have watched them anyway.
Anyway, the big winner was The King’s Speech, which took home best actor for Colin Firth and best ensemble cast. Meanwhile, the biggest surprise of the evening was that Helena Bonham Carter didn’t show up looking like a wino who sleeps in the garbage.
