2012 SAG Awards

Tonight was the 18th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards. Like the Golden Globes, the casts of movies and television shows all sit together at tables during the SAG Awards, creating a fun atmosphere. The cast of the Help were the big winners of the night. They won best picture, Viola Davis won Best Actress and Octavia Spencer for Best Supporting Actress.

Interestingly enough at the Dexter table ex-es and cast mates Michael C Hall and Jennifer Carpenter sat chummily next to each other. For some reason Ben Schwartz, the actor who plays John Ralphio on Parks and Rec, was sitting with the Dexter cast as well. I also saw Scott Bakula in the audience and am not aware of what project brought him to the awards show but I enjoy him. 

Oscar update: the early Oscar front runners in the major categories are: The Artist for Best Picture and Best Director, Viola Davis for Best Actress, Christopher Plummer for Best Supporting Actor and Octavia Spencer for Best Supporting Actress. Before tonight I would have said George Clooney for Best Actor but with Jean Dujardin's win for the Artist, it seems to be a close race.

The ladies of the Help all looked gorgeous. Tina Fey was hilarious as a presenter with John Krasinski and looked fabulous.
