Screen Actors Guild Awards - Live Blog - Second Hour

8:58 - Ok, so I was wrong. 

8:59 - Portman and Kunis here to preview Black Swan.  If you haven't watched Black Swan, you should.  Great Film.  Holy crap those ladies got back to their seats fast.

9:00 - Tim Conway is still alive?  Looks like he's here to give a lifetime achievement award.  This is quickly becoming a very long and very boring introduction speech.  Has Ernest Borgnine done anything relevant in the last twenty years?  Isn't this lifetime award a wee bit late? 

9:17 - Is anyone else getting tired of seeing these commercials for Sanctum?

9:18 - Whew, back to celebrating the rich and famous.  Male Actor in a TV Movie or Miniseries.  Al Pacino for You Don't Know Jack.  I hear that movie is fantastic. 

9:20 - The Social Network boys here to preview The Social Network.  Wow, Spiderman has a serious British Accent.  I thought he was from New York.  Just hearing the score from that movie gives me chills.

9:21 - Rosario Dawson, there is a name you don't hear very often these days.  Outstanding Female Actor TV Movie or Mini-Series.  Clare Danes wins like her fourth award for this role.  It's really starting to bother me that award is even called The Actor.

9:25 - Ok, it's taken about an hour and a half, but I've realized that these awards are brutally boring.  This show is the reason why people hate award shows.  I love these things normally, but I'm getting more alittle annoyed by all this pro pro rah rah actors stuff. 

9:26 - Lets get shocked to see who has died this past year.  A lot of faces I know, didn't know all the names that's for sure.  We lost a lot of great actors this past year.


9:34 - They don't take many breaks, but my god when they do, they're super long.

9:35 - And we're back.  Susan Sarandon is here and she is giving out Oustanding Male Actor in a Supporting Role.  How can Bale not win this?  Oh, Hawkes was damn good in Winter's Bone.  Ah crap, Renner, love Renner.  He was great in The Town.  I wonder if Ruffalo actually thinks he's got a shot at this?  Ah, there it is.  Bale wins as he should.  Have you watched The Fighter?  Bale was certainly the best part.  Just fantastic. 

9:38 - Woah, Batman is Welsh! Wow, that's cool, the guy he played is there.  Plus Superman is now British.  What's going on here?  Bale loves acting?  That audio clip certainly wouldn't make it sound like he loves it and finds it funny.  Have you heard the clip where Bale loses it because a guy walked into the room that he was "acting" in.  Golden.  Youtube, Bale loses it.

9:40 - Wahlberg really doesn't age does he?

9:42 - The Dude!

9:43 - Oustanding Female Actor in a leading Role.  How can't this go to Portman?  And it does indeed go to Natalie Portman.  Aren't the Oscars getting easier and easier to pick this year. 

9:45 - Yeah! Union!  Protecting the actors!

9:46 - Did Portman just say don't be a asshole?

9:47 - I love how the actors union called the best picture, the best ensemble in a motion picture.  Keeping it about them.

9:49 - How cool does the trailer for The Adjustment Bureau look?

9:52 - Kidman here to give out Male Actor in a Leading Role.  Those are some great actors, but it's going to Colin Firth.  The big four actor categories certainly appear locked up for the Oscars next month.  Firth, Bale, Portman and Leo.  Lock it in.

9:56 - Holy beard batman!  What's up with that Sutherland?  The best ensemble for a motion picture goes to The King's Speech!  Another cruel reminder that I need to watch this movie.  Wow, this best movie award Oscar is going to be tight.

From my make shift media room to yours, I hope you enjoyed the show if you watched it.  I'll see you live blogging from the Oscar's next.
