This awards season won’t be quite as long as last year, which wasn’t quite as long as the year before. Everything ends with the Oscars. In 2020, The Academy Awards was earlier than ever: February 9th. That turned-out to be a blessing considering the entertainment world completely shut down on March 13th. For the 2021 […]
The 27th Annual SAG Awards ceremony is a week away.

Her husband John Krasinski is also a Lead Actor in a Drama series […]
First-ever SAG Awards host Kristen Bell opened the show with a brief monologue: a couple jokes, a few important statements and a not-too-early “Frozen 2” plug. She and Maya Rudolph then presented the first award of the night. Bell appeared a few more times during the night, including with a well-written bit midway through featuring […]
Here are My Predictions for this Sunday’s 24th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards: Best Stunt Ensemble SHOULD WIN: “Wonder Woman” WILL WIN: “Wonder Woman” COULD WIN: Any other movie in the category There’s been a lot of love and support for “Wonder Woman”, which earned Best Action Movie honors at the Critics Choice Awards.
