SCREEN ACTORS GUILD AWARDSWe're seeing red (carpet) againBackstage: Seen and heard behind the scenesPhotos: Vote for your favorite red carpet fashionWinners: Who took home an actor?
By Scott Bowles, USA TODAY Sunday’s Screen Actors Guild Awards, which finally put some celebrities on a red carpet, reunited long-separated television casts and even elicited some signs of work solidarity.
Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie and Tom Cruise were among those at the awards, which perhaps gave an Oscar boost to winners No Country for Old Men, American Gangster’s Ruby Dee and There Will Be Blood’s Daniel Day-Lewis. On the TV side, the guild bade its final last look to The Sopranos with three awards.
But the guild honors, which usually serve as a boisterous warm-up — and uncannily accurate predictor — for the Oscars, were sometimes as gray as the Los Angeles skies. Day-Lewis offered a somber tribute to Heath Ledger. And though the awards were spared picket lines of striking writers, some actors wore WGA buttons and many skirted red-carpet press interviews.
30 Rock’s Tina Fey accepted her award for best actress in a comedy by remembering her writing colleagues. “I share this by everyone in our ensemble,” she said. “It takes a lot of people to make me look like a good actor.”
