• What’s with the SAG “Californication” ensemble cast snub?

• The AMPTP won’t show us any love in the negotiating room, but they’re sure happy when their projects get SAG Awards nominations.

• How about “The Shield” for ensemble??? Or just Walton Goggins for supporting?? What does the industry have against this GREAT show?

• I am sad that Benecio got passed over for best actor. He was really amazing as Che.

• Tina Fey’s 15 minutes are over. Let’s not stretch her minor talent beyond all reason. She may be a good writer but she’s a terrible actress and she’s done immeasurable harm to this country.

• What! No ensemble nomination for The Dark Knight? This confirms SAG has no idea what they’re doing.

  The Dark Knight is a rich and complex ensemble piece.
  Health Ledger’s performance as The Joker is stuff of legends, we know, we know; however, Christian Bale, Gary Oldman, Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman, Maggie Gyllenhaal AND ESPECIALLY AARON ECKHART as just as critical to the Dark Knight’s success.

• I was hoping for a little ensemble love for How I Met Your Mother. They beat Desperate Housewives, hands-down.

• Who here think that Boston Legal is even remotely watchable. If it’s true that Tina Fey’s 15 minutes are over (which I don’t agree with), it is certainly true that David Kelley’s were over fifteen years ago. Horny old men fucking blowup dolls and midgets — do we seriously think this deserves a nom for best series and best ensemble? Come on!

• I’m loving the three nominations for three black women playing characters from the 60′s. And in the case of “Doubt” and “Benjamin” these ladies are only there to fuel the passions of the white actors.

  Rashad is nominated for the 50 year old “Raisin in the Sun.”

  And we all wonder why ratings and boxoffice go down. Jesus what an intellectually bankrupt town.

• Wow. Some of these nominations truly are bizarre – nominations for basic cameos on more than one occasion. I bet nobody even knew Taraji P Henson was in that Benjamin Button flick for example.

• Boston legal is easily the best written, best acted show on TV at the moment. It deserves the nod.

• Tina Fey has done immeasurable to this country? Little dramatic, don’t you think Sean? Even for a Drudge Report fanatic?

• Can’t wait to see what token bone the Academy throws to a black actor so that they don’t look like the fakes they are in the year of Obama.

  Taraji Henson
  Viola Davis
  Beyonce
  Jeffrey Wright
  Will Smith

  You see, one of these actors will have to be nominated in order to keep up the non-racist facade. I vote for Wright who has been impressive for years. But don’t count Hollywood out. It may be Beyonce or even Smith despite the reviews.

  In truth none of these performances rise to the level of Oscar but you’ll see some other great performance: Emile Hirsch, for example will go unrewarded.

  Let the bullshit begin.

• My only hope is that in deciding between Carrell or Baldwin they don’t just toss it to Shalhoub for the easy out.

• Yeah… uh, how, exactly, did Tina Fey do “immeasurable damage” to this country? By doing an impression of a candidate you liked? Jesus, you guys are nuts. We don’t go around claiming Darrell Hammond did “immeasurable damage” to the country. It’s called satire. Learn to live with it.

• Swingtown. The Shield. Completely overlooked for every category. Take your responsibilities seriously, awards voter folk, and look past the ratings and the hype. Leave the starfucking to the rest of the world. Spread some much deserved love – it will help us all.
