SAG Fails & Wins

FAIL: I no longer blame Angelina Jolie or Brad Pitt for shunning Ryan Seacrest and E! News on the Golden Globes red carpet. Last night at the SAG awards, the superstar couple made every effort to grant interviews to E! and were accosted with ridiculously personal (and lame!) questions. Rather than talk about their nominations, working with Clint Eastwood & David Fincher, what their favorite films of the year were, E!'s Juliana Rancic went out of her way in an embarrassing display of callousness to plead of Angelina, "How has Brad made you a better woman?" and to query of Brad, "Do you still pinch yourself getting to wake up next to that every day?" Both Angie and Brad were obviously uncomfortable with the onslaught of intimate (and none-of-your-business) questions, but handled the hack reporter with graciousness, however little she deserved it. Now I just feel sorry for them. Seriously reporters, let it go! They're actors too; why don't we focus on that for awhile.


WIN: Meryl Streep's acceptance speech for Best Actress in Doubt was by far the highlight of the broadcast.
