SAG Awards Play-By-Play

Okay, awards season: bring it on!

The SAG Awards air tonight, unpicketed by the WGA. In honor of this auspicious occasion, I'll be doing a little running commentary on the highs, lows, and the somewhere-in-betweens. Don't be afraid, this won't be anything like Larry King's stream of consciousness rambling over the Golden Globe press conference. (At least, I hope not.)

Currently airing are the ever-scintillating pre-shows on various networks. You know, the time to really show the dresses and watch TV "personalities" attempt snappy banter with nominees, usually with varying degrees of success and rapidly changing comfort levels. Take TVGuide Channel's Lisa Rinna, who couldn't think of anything more interesting to ask Javier Bardem than whether or not his No Country for Old Men hairstyle was a wig or not.

And Joey Fatone. I'll admit it, I love Joey from way back. I still listen to *NSYNC albums on a regular basis. (Hey! Don't judge me.) But, oh Joey, did you really just ask Grey's Anatomy actress Sara Ramirez if her Angel Sanchez gown was a "Dirty Sanchez?" Come on kid, it's a family show!

Meanwhile, Rinna's interview with the Entourage cast was drowned out by the deafening crowd noise that accompanied Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's entrance. Jolie appears to be rockin' a dress designed to fuel "baby bump" rumors around the world.

More to come...
