Squeezed in between the Golden Globes broadcast and the Oscar nominations is an awards ceremony voted on solely by the actors. (So unlike the People’s Choice Awards, this actually has meaning.)
For the 16th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards, we’ll see a lot of the old and just a little bit of the new. Here are some of the noteworthy mentions from this year’s list of television nominees:
- The Closer, Dexter and 30 Rock lead this year’s pack with three nominations each.
- Despite no individual mentions, freshman comedies Modern Family and Glee were both honored in the Best Ensemble category.
- Samantha Who‘s Christina Applegate received a nomination despite starring in a canceled show.
- True Blood received its first nom—but just for its cast, not for any single actor.
The SAG Awards will air Saturday, Jan. 23 on both TNT and TBS.

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Late Night, NBC, Saturday Night Live, Video,
If you could turn back the clocks to September 13, what would you do over?
If you were Kanye West, you’d probably - probably - not bring your Hennessy to the Video Music Awards. If you were Taylor Swift, you’d probably get a firm grip on that microphone.
And if you were Taylor Lautner—well, you’d probably step up and defend your (future) lady’s honor. How exactly would you accomplish that? Just watch the demonstration above.
