Screen Actors Guild Awards

Slumdog Millionaire took Best Cast and Anil Kapoor thanked "the children". Are those the same ones who were told by your movie that everything will be all right if you believe in love and "it is written". And if you get blinded or stay in poverty, I guess that's what Vishnu wanted. I still think he looks like a fat George Michael. Come on, people, at least Regis Philbin was in on the joke and kept a hilarious sh!t-eating grin while he talked to contestants. I guess 10 years from now a Chinese big screen version of American Idol will win the Oscar for Best Picture.

Click below for the winners (including Sean Penn, Meryl Streep, Kate Winslet, and Heath Ledger) as well as the nominees. By the way, Streep's speech was great and the intros by Will Arnett and Steve Carell were hilarious.

Tivo malfunction = didn't watch. Get ready for Slimdogg to win Best Picture after this. David Carr says its all done (great blog entries over at NY Times' Carpetbagger lately - especially his interview of Mike Tyson at Sundance).

Glad 30 Rock is getting its due.
