Heath Ledger Wins SAG Award for "Dark Knight"

sweatpantsmom — Mon, 26 Jan 2009 05:05:00 GMT

Late actor Heath Ledger was honored with the best supporting actor award at the Screen Actor's Guild Awards for his portrayal of The Joker in last summer's blockbuster "The Dark Knight."

Ledger's "The Dark Knight" co-star Gary Oldman accepted the award on his behalf.

"I'm quite emotional," Oldman said. "It is a great honor to be asked to accept this on behalf of Heath. He was an extraordinary young man with an extraordinary talent, and it is wonderful that you have acknowledged that and honored that talent tonight."

Ledger's performance has been generating Oscar buzz since before his death last January from an accidental overdose of prescription drugs. With the SAG win and his Golden Globe win earlier this month, Ledger now looks certain to receive the supporting-actor Oscar on Feb. 22.

This must be another bittersweet moment for Ledger's family. After the actor was honored at the Golden Globes, they issued a statement saying the award would eventually go to Matilda, Ledger's daughter with Michelle Williams. I'm sure the SAG award will go to her as well.

Tina Fey Wins SAG Award and Owes It All to Daughter Alice

sweatpantsmom — Mon, 26 Jan 2009 04:16:00 GMT

Tina Fey won the first award of the evening at tonight's Screen Actors Guild Awards, taking the honor for best female actor in a comedy series for her work on "30 Rock." Fey was quick to give credit where credit was due and dedicated her award to her daughter, Alice, 3, calling her "the funniest person in my family."

The actress also took a thinly-veiled jab at Hollywood producers, who have battled Hollywood trade guilds over actors, writers and others' share of potential profits from Web programming. Referring again to Alice, Fey said, "Some day she'll be old enough to watch 30 Rock reruns on the Internet and understand where Mommy was going at 6 a.m. every day for all that time. And she'll look up at me and say, 'What do you mean you don't get residuals for this?' "

Kate Winslet Wins SAG Award for "The Reader"

Kate Winslet has won one of the early awards of the evening at the 2009 SAG Awards. Winslet won her award for outstanding performance by a female actor in a supporting role for "The Reader" in which she played a former concentration camp guard.

"It's really an honor to be included in what I think is such a remarkable year and be acknowledged by my peers in this way," Winslet said in her acceptance speech. "I really feel like everybody should be given a medal."

Winslet already won the same prize at this year's Golden Globes. When accepting her award on that night, Kate thanked her two children Mia and Joe for “coming on this adventure with mummy”.

“I love being a mum,” she said tearfully. “My priorities in life have just completely shifted since I had my two children. Mia and Joe are the most important thing in my world.”

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt Arrive at the 2009 SAG Awards

sweatpantsmom — Mon, 26 Jan 2009 02:20:00 GMT

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt (remember - don't call them Brangelina anymore) arriving for the 2009 Screen Actor's Guild Awards being held at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles. They're both up for awards - Angelina for her role in "Changeling" and Brad for his in "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button." I'm thinking if they both win they may celebrate by making a baby.

I'm hoping that someday they'll bring the kids to one of these events. Wouldn't it be great to see Maddox, Pax, Shiloh and Zahara working the red carpet? I guess twins Knox and Vivienne actually did make an appearance at last year's awards - in Angelina's tummy. If you remember, she was still trying to hide her pregnancy underneath a tent dress.

Kathleen Turner to Nicolas Cage: I'm Sorry, You Big Crybaby

sweatpantsmom — Thu, 14 Feb 2008 18:50:00 GMT

I wish these two would just sleep together already and get it over with. In the latest chapter in the 'Chihuahua-Stealing Nicolas Cage vs. Lying Kathleen Turner' saga, Turner apologized to Cage. Well sort of. During an interview, Matt Lauer asked the actress about the feud and Turner cleverly replied:

"I guess what I can say is I'm truly sorry if I caused distress or harm, because one thing is for sure - I never, ever intended to do that. This is what I remember, these are my thoughts and (they were) certainly not intended to damage anyone else."

Note that Turner apologizes but doesn't issue a retraction as Cage's lawyer requested. Something tells me this isn't over. Hug it out, you two.

Nicolas Cage to Kathleen Turner: I'm Taking Your Ass To Court

sweatpantsmom — Wed, 13 Feb 2008 18:35:00 GMT

Nicolas Cage wants to make one thing perfectly clear: He ain't no pathetic pooch pincher. Cage is suing Kathleen Turner for writing in her new autobiography Send Yourself Roses that the actor was arrested for two DUIs and once stole a chihuahua.

Cage's attorney, who began libel proceedings against Turner on Friday in London's high court, says "If he doesn't get a retraction he intends to go full speed ahead with litigation in the U.S."

In other words, "Take it back, b*tch!"

Nicolas Cage is Confused

Karen — Sun, 03 Feb 2008 13:04:00 GMT

Nicolas Cage has stated this week that he is quitting acting. At 40, he's finding the whole game just too isolating. I think dude is confused!

“Some movie stars look like they are having a ball, but I’m tired of it. It has made me reclusive. That is an increasingly gnawing feeling in my body. When I first started I loved it. One of my frustrations is I have no control. I haven’t worked in a while, and it will be eight months before I start my next picture. I know for the first time which direction I’m going in and what changes I want to make.”

He says people are tired of seeing him on screen:

“For some reason, I piss off the audience. People who like one type of film don’t like to see me in another. Things I did and said early on still haunt me. I started acting at 17, but I’m 44 now and have grown up. I wonder if I am still interesting to watch if I didn’t drink or raise hell, but it’s obnoxious to keep drinking.”

Okay, I've never heard anyone say, "God that jerkoff Nicolas Cage really pisses me off." Most people I know either like him or are indifferent. I think dude is a wee bit paranoid.

If those statements didn't confuse you enough, check out the films he has lined up, according to WENN:

Electric God (2009) announced
The Dance (2008) announced ‘Billy ‘The Kid’ Roth’
Amarillo Slim (2008) pre-production
Knowing (2008) pre-production
G-Force (2009) filming-voice
Bangkok Dangerous (2008) completed

Uh yeah. Okay Nic, once again - get your story straight. Are you quitting or not? (I hope not.)

Mommy's In Rehab: Sean Young Checks Herself In

sweatpantsmom — Tue, 29 Jan 2008 22:40:00 GMT

Sean Young, last seen being dragged out of the Director's Guild Awards in her white fur coat on Saturday night, has checked herself into a rehab center to seek treatment for alcoholism. Young was tossed out of the awards after getting tanked and then heckling director Julian Schnabel while he was on stage. According to the actress' rep, "It is understood that Young has struggled against the disease for many years."

According to Entertainment Weekly, Young's undignified exit on Saturday night wasn't the first time she'd been forcibly removed from an event - in 2006 she attempted to crash the Vanity Fair Oscar party by sneaking in behind Jennifer Aniston, only to be escorted out the back door by a bouncer.

Hey, at least she's welcome at the rehab center.

SAG Awards: Daniel Day Lewis Dedicates Award to Heath Ledger

sweatpantsmom — Mon, 28 Jan 2008 21:35:00 GMT

Daniel Day-Lewis, while accepting his SAG award on Sunday night, gave a moving tribute to Heath Ledger. Day-Lewis, who was named Best Actor for his leading role in There Will Be Blood, called Ledger, and his roles in Monster's Ball and Brokeback Mountain, an inspiration. "Of course, in Brokeback Mountain he was unique," Day-Lewis said. "He was perfect. And that scene in the trailer at the end of the film is as moving as anything I have ever seen."

During a backstage interview Day-Lewis was asked why he decided to dedicate his award to Ledger. "I suppose that's all I've been thinking about for the last few days. I never met him. I thought he was beautiful. I just have a very strong feeling that I would have liked him very much as a man. ...I admired him very much."

Brangelina vs. Tom Cruise: Does Someone Need a Hug?

Karen — Mon, 28 Jan 2008 17:04:00 GMT

While Angelina and Brad were stealing people's hearts and attention on the red carpet, Tom Cruise was nowhere to be seen. While Brad and Angelina were stealing lovey-dovey glances and kisses throughout the SAG Awards, Tom Cruise was somber, and looked angry and generic as he presented an award to "No Country for Old Men".

Maybe someone's got a heavy duty case of jealousy, since Angelina seems to be pregnant and Katie isn't.

SAG Awards: Tina Fey Wins Outstanding Performance By A Female Actor In A Comedy Series

Karen — Mon, 28 Jan 2008 14:33:00 GMT

Dressed in an LBD for the SAG Awards, Tina Fey took home the award for outstanding performance by a female actor in a comedy series, and deservedly so.

"I want to thank anyone in the Screen Actors Guild for considering me an actor at all," Fey, who is also a screenwriter, quipped upon accepting her award. "I want to thank everyone in SAG for being so supportive of the Writers Guild of America."

Backstage, Fey said the writers strike leaves “30 Rock” at risk since the show is a critical success but not necessarily a huge hit with viewers.

“We are exactly the kind of show that’s put in jeopardy by the strike,” Fey said.

I guess between the Writer's Strike and the death of Heath Ledger, there was a bit of a cloud looming in everyone's hearts for this event.

SAG Awards: Angelina Jolie Looking Pregnant on the Red Carpet

sweatpantsmom — Mon, 28 Jan 2008 02:35:00 GMT

The Screen Actors Guild Awards, the first star-studded awards show of the season, are now underway. But who can concentrate on the show when we're all trying to figure out if Angelina Jolie is knocked-up? The actress walked the red carpet at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles in a loose, flowing dress fueling speculation that she's pregnant.

Of course, no one's considered the possibility that maybe she just likes loose, flowing dresses or maybe just wanted to be comfortable after she hits the after-show buffet line and scarfs down all those hors d'oeuvres. I'd wear a big dress too, if I knew there was a room full of cheese balls and shish kebabs waiting for me.

Jolie is nominated for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Leading Role for her portrayal of Marianne Pearl in A Mighty Heart. If she wins maybe she'll announce her pregnancy. Probably not.

Mommy's Drunk: Sean Young Gets Kicked Out of DGA Awards

sweatpantsmom — Sun, 27 Jan 2008 23:02:00 GMT

Remember Sean Young? I didn't think so. She was big in the '80's, most notably for her role in Blade Runner and opposite Kevin Costner in No Way Out but now apparently makes a living chugging free booze and heckling people with talent. Young was kicked to the curb for disrupting the Directors Guild Awards that took place in Los Angeles on Saturday night. According to a source that was there, Young "was obviously drunk and insisted on talking loudly throughout the ceremony. At times, she was literally yelling during some of the winners' acceptance speeches."

"When she wasn't yelling, Sean would stand up, put on her white fur coat and walk around her table and then retake her seat," the source reported.

Things got heated when director Julian Schnabel took the stage to say a few words and Young shouted, "Get on with it!" A flustered Schnabel yelled back at her to "have another drink," cut short his speech and started to leave the stage. Audience members urged him to finish which he did, while Young, stumbling in her fur coat and falling to the floor at one point, was finally escorted out of the ballroom by two security guards.

Young, who has two children with ex-husband Robert Lujan, also gained some (unwanted) publicity in 1990 when she attempted to snag a role in Batman Returns by donning a home-made Catwoman costume and confronting director Tim Burton on set. Cringe.

Nicolas Cage: I Don't Need No Stinkin' Rehab!

Karen — Sun, 27 Jan 2008 21:08:00 GMT

Nicolas Cage attests that while he went through a period of drug and alcohol abuse, he was able to get out of that scene on his own. “In my twenties I went through a period of drinking and drug-taking. It didn’t make me happy but I wanted to experience them to know how they would make me feel.”

“Drugs make every single nightmare you ever had come true.”

“[But] I never went to rehab, I never went through any form of [Alcoholics Anonymous]. I went through years of experimenting and then hit the realisation that it just didn’t work for me.”

It makes me wonder if he really did steal a chihuahua, or if he just denied it because he can't remember.

Nicolas Cage: I Didn't Steal No Stinkin' Chihuahua

sweatpantsmom — Sat, 26 Jan 2008 00:15:00 GMT

(Warning: Bad dog puns ahead.)

Watch out - Nicolas Cage is baring his fake teeth and striking back at Kathleen Turner. In her upcoming book Turner accuses her Peggy Sue Got Married co-star of, among other things, chihuahua thievery. According to Cage, Turner needs to put a muzzle on it.

Just short of calling Turner a bitch, Cage issued this statement: "I have never been arrested for anything in my life, nor have I stolen a dog. I am reaching out to my fans -- many of whom are children -- so they know that I do not condone drunk driving or theft. The reason why you've never seen a mug shot of me is because it does not exist."

Guess he couldn't let sleeping dogs lie.

Nicolas Cage is a Chihuahua Thief

sweatpantsmom — Fri, 25 Jan 2008 13:05:00 GMT

Nicolas Cage steals dogs. Kathleen Turner says so. In her upcoming autobiography "Send Yourself Roses" the actress dishes on her Peggy Sue Got Married co-star. Apparently Cage was a pain-in-the-ass on the set of the movie, which was directed by his uncle Francis Ford Coppola.

"Everything Francis wanted him to do, he went against to show that he wasn't under his uncle's wing. Which was ridiculous. Oh, that stupid voice of his and the fake teeth! Honestly, I cringe to think about it. He caused so many problems," Turner writes. "He was arrested twice for drunk driving and, I think, once for stealing a dog. He'd come across a Chihuahua he liked and stuck it in his jacket."

Forget about the chihuahua - Nicolas Cage has fake teeth??!! Must be in his Book of Secrets.
