The SAG Awards, as we have noted, often have a curious way of letting us know what the Oscars are going to deliver. So when the Screen Actors Guild doled out its golden statuettes on Sunday night (January 29), we couldn't help but feel there were more than a few hints at how the Academy Awards might shake out in a few weeks.
What are we to make of the upset SAG win for "The Help" in outstanding cast in a movie, for instance? Where does this leave "The Artist," which had been looking increasingly, inevitably like the big champ come Oscar night, yet only won outstanding male performance (Jean Dujardin) at the SAGs?
Things were more predictable on the TV side of things. In 2012, for the second year in a row, "Modern Family" (Outstanding Cast in a Comedy) and "Boardwalk Empire" (Outstanding Cast in a Drama and a Lead Actor win for Steve Buscemi) had strong showings. Check out the full list of winners:

The most interesting testimony today in the Hollywood Foreign Press Association’s lawsuit against Dick Clark Productions over rights to the Golden Globes broadcast didn’t take place in court. instead transcripts from CBS chief Les Moonves’ deposition in the case illustrated how lucrative those rights could be if his network would be allowed to bid. And that’s the crux of HFPA’s suit against DCP. “Holy shit, we heard NBC?s only paying $17 million,? Moonves told lawyers for the HFPA in his deposition. ?We offered $25M, probably willing to go to $30M. God they god (sic) a bad deal.? But Moonves never got to make a concrete offer, the deposition showed. Judge A. Howard Matz this morning agreed to a recommendation from lawyers�this morning that Moonves? videotaped deposition will suffice instead of having him testify in person. Deadline has learned that portions of Moonves? recorded deposition will be played in court later in the trial ? possibly�this week. Former HFPA President Lorenzo Soria�couldn’t remember much except that�he and others were very pleased with DCP?s successful bid to return the Golden Globes to major network TV. ?There was an overall sense of excitement on our side,? Soria told the court about the 1993 potential deal with NBC.�?Going on national TV was seen as positive development.? Soria subsequently testified that it was his understanding in 2001 that DCP’s latest deal with NBC was for ?10 years maximum? and ... Read More »
