The SAG Awards: At least the fashion was unpredictable

After being genuinely surprised by the results of many Globes races, the SAGs were a sad retread. Cate Blanchett, Matthew McConahey, and Jared Leto seem like sure locks in their respective categories, while Supporting Actress is a toss up between Jennifer Lawrence and Lupita Nyong'o, with their films duking it out for Best Picture. American Hustle edged out 12 Years a Slave for the ensemble award, but that seems mainly due to the star power. I mean, The Help beat out The Artist, The Descendents and Midnight in Paris, but no one really expected it to win picture. I have the same feeling here, though I may be proven wrong.

Does anyone else think it's really lame that the SAG's don't have a supprting actor or actress category for televison? That is the sole reason Maggie Smith stole an award from Claire Danes, Kerry Washington, Anna Gunn and Jessica Lange. I love her on "Downton Abbey" as much as anyone else, but that is a supporting performance. You would think that the acting faction of Hollywood would be more eager to award supporing performances, as character actors make up such a large percentage of the acting community. (And then maybe Josh Charles would have a shot - seriously!) Complete list of winners and losers here.

All that's really left for me to comment on is the fashion. I realize my blog is not primarily fashion-minded, but I put that on hold during Oscar season. Sorry. Here's the pretty:


BEST DRESSED

Amy Adams: love this color, those earrings and her hair.

Honorable Mention: Because there were some truly great dresses out there tonight. Particularly Julie Bowen. Anna Gunn, Lupita Nyong'o, Cate Blanchett, and Jane Krakowski were also stellar.

WORST DRESSED

Edie Falco: Because on top of being ugly, the fit is terrible. At least Kerry Washinton and Rose Leslie were trying for something new. And theirs fit.

OH HONEY, NO

Amanda Peet: truly heinous. And capping off a particularly bad year of fashion. Really.

MOST TORN ABOUT

Julia Roberts: it's a freaking pepto jumpsuit! But her hair is great and I actually love this color

.


JUST BECAUSE I LOVE HER

Jennifer Lawrence: Dior finally put her in a truly complementary dress. Thank God.
