Bullock.Bridges.Basterds For SAG Awards

The Screen Actors Guild Awards (SAG) was finally over and fellow actors and directors voted for their favorite film and actors for this year nominations.

Quentin's Inglourious Basterds won the best picture giving the film's chance for an Oscar's prize for best movie on March 07.

The SAG Awards are seen as a bellwether of likely winners at the academy awards.

For the past two years, the winner of the SAG Awards best ensemble statuette has gone on to win best picture at the Oscars, with Slumdog Millionaire triumphing in 2009 and No Country For Old Men prevailing in 2008.

I'm now having my high hopes for Sandra Bullock for a sweep win on this year's Best Actress Award in her portrayal of Leigh Anne Tuohy in The Blind Side, the true story of how the southern housewife took in homeless black teen Michael Oher, who went on to become an American football star.

"If only this were not televised so I could use the appropriate words I'm feeling right now," Bullock, 45, said in her acceptance speech, which included a heartfelt tribute to her husband of five years, Jesse James.

"You get dressed up in monkey suits and sit at tables with people you don't know," Bullock said. "I love you so much and you're really hot and I want you so much."

Other nominees in the category included Helen Mirren for The Last Station, Carey Mulligan for An Education, Gabourey Sidibe for Precious, and Meryl Streep for Julie & Julia.

And the Best Actor went to veteran actor Jeff Bridges on the film Crazy Heart. Bridges, 60, who has largely been bypassed for large awards, won for his portrayal of a washed-up country singer battling to rebuild his career in Crazy Heart.

"This means so much to be acknowledged by my acting family," Bridges said. "It's like a big family, playing advanced version of pretend. I love being an actor, pretending to be other folks."

Mo'Nique won as Best Supporting Actress for the film "Precious" and the Austrian actor Christoph Waltz followed up his success at the Golden Globes to underscore his status as an Oscars favourite.


Waltz won for his performance as a deranged Nazi officer in Inglourious Basterds.


I'm really crossing my fingers that Sandra will get the nod for Oscars. Ohh well, let's give kudos to AVATAR and James Cameron too!

I LVoe!
