SAG AWARDS 2018 ARRIVALS<\/h1>\n

I\u2019m wrapping-up my coverage of the recent SAG Awards with my thoughts on the arrivals shown on the E channel. This is how unimportant the media thinks these awards are\u2014E is the only channel covering the walk-ins live, as opposed to at least four<\/em> for the Oscars and Emmys.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m sharing these separate from my review of the actual awards show<\/em>, so that neither article would be too long for you to read at one sitting. (If you missed the previous one, you can still read it here: itsnotaboutme.tv\/news\/awards-show-2018-sag-awards<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

\"White<\/a>

And, in full disclosure, I didn\u2019t watch the arrivals live<\/em>; I actually wound-up watching them the next day, because they were on against the football play-offs, and you know I wasn\u2019t going to miss sports<\/em>!<\/p>\n

So, here are my thoughts, in the order they appeared on the arrivals show. The two hosts\u2014that Rancic woman and a new one, Nina something-or-other, were as bad as can be. And, on top of their inanity, (like Nina talking non-stop and over everyone,) there was one extra correspondent who said hi near the top of the show, but we never saw that girl again! Did she appear on camera just to tell us their position on the red carpet?!\u00a0 I don\u2019t get that.<\/p>\n

So here goes with what happened on E as the guests arrived for the SAGs, with the second incident being one of the worst things I\u2019ve ever seen on one of these shows!:<\/p>\n

The interview that the Nina woman did with the two boys from Stranger Things<\/em> was beyond uncomfortable!<\/p>\n

OMG\u2014How c-wordy of that Rancic bi-atch to ask adorable Allison Brie<\/strong>, who\u2019s married to Dave Franco<\/strong>, her thoughts on the accusations against her brother-in-law James Franco<\/strong>, and word it that she should enlighten us because she\u2019s also \u201ca supporter of the TimesUp movement!\u201d\u00a0 Rancid<\/em> (as I now have to call her) absolutely sabotaged that poor girl on what should have been a wonderful night for her!\u00a0 Ugh. \u00a0I used to have only disdain for that skin-and-bones woman, but now I absolutely loathe<\/em> her for doing that!<\/p>\n

\"Alliosn<\/a>

Alliosn Brie went from this happiness…<\/p><\/div>\n

\"...to<\/a>

…to this face when that Rancid person asked her the most inapporpriate question on the red carpet!<\/p><\/div>\n

But now I adore Allison Brie!\u00a0 I had never even heard of her before\u00a0The Disaster Artist<\/em>, but, even though her happy face and demeanor totally changed when she heard that unbelievably crass question, her reply was spot-on and thoroughly composed. You go, girl!<\/p>\n

\"Milo<\/a>

I never cared about\u00a0him one way or another, but Milo Ventimiglia<\/strong> seems like such a sweet, nice guy.<\/p>\n

But what was up with his hair? The back looked like either a bad wig or awful extensions. It was very weird.<\/p>\n

Rancid asked new-ish actress Kelly Marie Tran<\/strong>, who she wanted to meet that night, and her dumb answer was Oprah, who wasn\u2019t there and was not even due<\/em> to be there!<\/p>\n

That Nina woman was so rude to Jason Clarke<\/strong> of\u00a0Mudbound<\/em>.\u00a0 She asked, \u201cHow do you feel about [something] because\u00a0Mudbound<\/em>\u00a0has really struggled\u2026,\u201d\u00a0and then when he was talking it up, she rushed him off. So the question about his \u201cstruggling\u201d film was rude, and then it got worse for him! I hope this Aussie doesn\u2019t think all<\/em> of us Americans are like that!<\/p>\n

\"Hong<\/a>

Hong Chau.<\/p><\/div>\n

I was so happy to see that Hong Chau<\/strong> is as lovely as I had hoped. And all her red carpet posing was adorable, not full-of-beans, as most others are.<\/p>\n

This was a tad weird, though–Hong looked so much older as herself than she did in\u00a0Downsizing<\/em>.\u00a0 Either the movie had great make-up people, or Hong doesn\u2019t!<\/p>\n

Sam Rockwell<\/strong>\u2019s annoying girlfriend, Leslie Bibb, totally hijacked his interview!\u00a0 We wanted to hear what the nominee and eventual winner<\/em> had to say, not her<\/em> thoughts on his recent Golden Globes win. Someone needs to tell that woman that it\u2019s not about her<\/em>!!!<\/p>\n

\"Allison<\/a>

Allison Williams. Nice posture, eh? Photo by Karen Salkin.<\/p><\/div>\n

I\u2019ve never seen Stranger Things<\/em>, and did not think I\u2019d like Millie Bobbi Brown<\/strong>, but she named the following as her top three acting inspirations: Audrey Hepburn, Angelina Jolie, and Jodie Foster, so now I have to admire her; that was so astute of a young girl to come up with that impressive list on the spot like that.<\/p>\n

I give Holly Hunter<\/strong> so much credit for speaking intelligently during this red carpet baloney!<\/p>\n

Allison Williams<\/strong> could not have looked worse.\u00a0 The make-up, her filthy hair that was trying for some flapper-type \u2019do that did not work, and the ill-fitting dress, paired with her terrible slouching posture.\u00a0 Yuck.\u00a0 And that horrible nasal voice was the icing on the crap cake.<\/p>\n

\"Margot<\/a>

Margot Robbie.<\/p><\/div>\n

I love classy, adorable Margot Robbie<\/strong>.\u00a0 That girl cannot look bad no matter what she does.\u00a0 Her hair was sort-of a mess, with no special style, but she still looked beautiful. (But why does she never smile on red carpets?)<\/p>\n

It\u2019s so weird to see previously adorable Goldie Hawn<\/strong> with the same cutesy visage she\u2019s always had, but all wrinkled and haggard-looking now.\u00a0 It\u2019s sort-of sad.\u00a0 But that\u2019s what happens when you live at the beach, I guess. (Or, perhaps more accurately, make it into your seventies!) [Note: That’s Goldie and her daughter Kate Hudson in the big photo at the top of this page.]<\/p>\n

I met Bob Odenkirk<\/strong> a few years ago, and had no idea who he is.\u00a0 We sat next to each other in an audience of a magic show, and I asked if he was in Nebraska<\/em>. I had no idea that he had ever done any other work! It turns-out that he\u2019s been working forever, just not on any shows I watched.\u00a0 He could have listed all his other credits to me, but left it at the one I had asked about. He was at that show alone, just to support a friend, who was one of the magicians who was so fabulous that he didn\u2019t even need anyone there. But there Bob was. Listening to his interview on the red carpet at the SAGs, I was so glad to see that he\u2019s still the same good guy whom I met.<\/p>\n

And Laurie Metcalfe<\/strong> is as nice as I had hoped, as well.<\/p>\n

\"What<\/a>

What is this hair-do on Emily Gordon?! Photo by Karen Salkin.<\/p><\/div>\n

This one I hate to say, but Kumail Nanjiani<\/strong>\u2019s co-writer wife, Emily Gordon<\/strong>, is already\u2014how shall I put it?–not exactly a looker, so why would she wear her hair like that to make it worse?! She had some sort of very short bangs, but it was even more severe than that. Why wouldn\u2019t she try to look as good as she can? I never get that, about anyone<\/em>.<\/p>\n

But they are a very cute couple, and I root for them. (I even hope they win an Oscar for their script.) And I give them sooo much credit for writing their fabulous film, The Big Sick<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Nina took the mike away from every-award-this-season frontrunner Gary Oldman<\/strong>\u00a0as he was answering her question!!!\u00a0 How awful of her. That offense is unforgivable!<\/p>\n

Olivia Munn<\/strong> told a story about Sandra Bullock being so nice, and I had the same experience with her! Way back in the day, she and I were finalists for the\u00a0lead role in a TV show, (that turned-out to be awful, without us, of course! And, by the way, the role was to basically play me<\/em>! That\u2019s what the script even said! And I didn\u2019t get it!) I had to go in after Sandra, and I was sick, which everyone could tell. She stopped to talk to me about it, which, trust me, girls who are up for the same role never<\/em> do! She was already a tiny bit successful at the time, so she could have been uppity about having to read for the role, but she was the opposite. So I loved hearing Olivia\u2019s story about her, as well.<\/p>\n

\"Rail-thin<\/a>

But, of course, even though Olivia was telling real person, fun stories, that Nina person cut her off.<\/p>\n

How skinny is Nicole Kidman<\/strong>?!\u00a0 When I was a young starlet, everyone made such a fuss about how skinny I was, because no one else was back then, but now I\u2019m<\/em> a tad chubby while everyone else is a rail!<\/p>\n

That Rancid woman asked Mary J. Blige<\/strong>, \u201cWhat do you mean by, \u2018This is a really great time?\u2019 \u201d\u00a0 What did she\u00a0think<\/em>\u00a0she meant??? As she herself had just mentioned at the top of the interview, Mary was a<\/em> double nominee<\/em> at the SAGs!!!\u00a0 What an idiot!<\/p>\n

Mary J. Blige is so honest, sincere, and not at all full-of-baloney!<\/p>\n

Then Rancid asked her, \u201cWhat was\u00a0that<\/em>\u00a0like?,\u201d referring to that Mary had just received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.\u00a0 Without skipping a beat, Mary answered, \u201cIt was like being high.\u201d Love that honest answer!!!<\/p>\n

The winner for Most in Need of a Tan is paleface Dakota Fanning<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"Yael<\/a>

Yael Grobglas and Gina Rodriguez.<\/p><\/div>\n

I love that Gina Rodriguez<\/strong> brought her co-star, and nemesis on Jane The Virgin<\/em>, Yael Grobglas<\/strong>, with her.\u00a0 And Yael really was the classiest-looking one there!<\/p>\n

But Nina left her just hanging there for the whole long interview of Gina! She\u00a0didn\u2019t ask her even one question or include her in any way. How incredibly rude!<\/p>\n

One final thought here: I read elsewhere that people were upset that Rancid and Nina were basically dismissive of the very few Asians on the red carpet. (Hong Chao, Olivia Munn, Kelly Marie Tran.) I understood exactly what they\u2019re talking about. The E hosts are always totally insensitive, while thinking they\u2019re asking the profound questions. Enough of them already! That channel needs to hire new people, pronto. But they never will.<\/p>\n

Okay, that\u2019s it for the arrivals. Now on to the Grammys this Sunday! (Am I the only one who thinks these awards shows are too close together? We audiences, and journalists, need a break in-between, don\u2019t ya think???)<\/p>\n

By the way–I am<\/em> planning on live-tweeting the Grammys again, so you might want to follow me before then, if you don\u2019t already. @MajorCelebrity. And then my full review will be published on here next week, so keep an eye out for that, too.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
