And the SAG Award goes to …

sag-awards.jpg   Who are the nominees? Here’s the list of those in contention when The 15th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards are handed Jan. 25 in the Los Angeles Shrine Exposition Center. The event will air live beginning at 7 p.m. on TNT and TBS.
   The winners in five film and eight primetime television categories will be decided by the entire active membership of the Guild, who have until Jan. 23 to vote.
   Will Oklahoma-born Brad Pitt vote for himself for outstanding performance by a male actor in a leading role? Who knows? But hopefully, he will cast a vote for Holly Hunter for outstanding performance by a female actor in a drama series (Angelina Jolie is nominated in another category, so there shouldn’t be a conflict).
