SAG Awards

Last night marked the 17th annual Screen Actors Guild Awards.  My favourite part of the night was the red carpet.  The award show itself can be a little boring especially without a host like the Golden Globes and I was able to predict almost every single award given.  It was still nice to see the few surprises like Betty White winning and I always look forward to hearing the acceptance speeches.  I like the speeches that are funnier and short instead of naming absolutely everyone that worked on the film or that you know.  It's boring!

The highlights of the night for me we're seeing Betty White win for best female in a comedy series. It was her first time nominated and her first win at the age of 89!!! She looked amazing and of course was hilarious. Her speech started off heartfelt by her utter shock for winning then she ended the speech with the classic too funny Betty White.  She started stroking and flirting with the statue she just won it was priceless.

My favourite speech other than Betty was Christian Bale.  His speech at the Golden Globes was all over the place, thanking everyone and even being cut off by the music so I was a little nervous when he went to accept the actor last night but I was very surprised by his short but sweet speech.  The best part was seeing the real Dickie Eklund come on stage and congratulate him. If anyone saw the The Fighter then you know who I'm talking about, if you haven't seen The Fighter then hurry up and get down to the theatre and watch it! It is one of my favourite movies and Bale did an amazing job.  Bale started his speech by saying he didn't want to ramble on and list of everyone so he thanked everyone as a group, thanked the real Dickie and Micky and then thanked his wife and daughter.  It was funny, heartfelt and short, the perfect speech.

Like I said my favourite part of the whole night was the red carpet.  I love fashion and seeing what everyone is wearing and who they are wearing. In the next post I've picked a few actresses and classified them in best dressed, worst dressed and compared their dresses from the Globes to the SAGs. I also have a few sharpest dress men. 


What did you think of the SAGs?

- Karrah!
