<\/a>This is the absolute worst outfit of the night, on Gwendolyn Christie!!! Why would she try to make herself look worse??? It looks like she’s hiding the kids from under the cape of the Spirit of Christmas Present in A Christmas Carol.<\/p><\/div>\n
So I watched the SAG Awards<\/em> with a tad more gusto than I do other awards shows because of being an infinitesimal part of it, (as opposed to those other awards, of which I\u2019m\u00a0zero<\/em>\u00a0part, except to see the films.)<\/p>\n Oddly, there were no arrivals shows for this one. I guess we SAG members just get no respect. (I should have realized that\u2019s the case, anyway, as soon as I saw that the show was scheduled against the last football play-off before the Super Bowl!) So there\u2019s nothing to say about that aspect of this awards show. (Thank goodness.)<\/p>\n I live-tweeted a lot of the show last night, (which you can still read @MajorCelebrity<\/strong>,) but I saved a bunch of observations for this column.<\/p>\n And foremost in my mind is\u2026what a snoozefest this show was! There were some fun moments, (like the speeches of Brad Pitt <\/strong>and Joaquin Phoenix<\/strong>,) but those were few and far-between. It really needed a funny host. But without one, at least the show moved along, and I\u2019m pretty sure, ended on time. So there\u2019s that.<\/p>\n Taron Egerton. Photo by Karen Salkin.<\/p><\/div>\n And how did the producers not take advantage of having Jennifer Lopez<\/strong>, the hottest person in show business, as a nominee, and have her be a presenter??? That\u2019s just insane!<\/p>\n Now let\u2019s get to the rest of my thoughts on this always-host-less show, in order that they occurred to me as I watched it live:<\/p>\n That was somehow a pretty classless speech from the cast of\u00a0The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel<\/em>, especially Alex Borstein<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Rocketman<\/em>\u2019s Taron Egerton<\/strong> is so much cuter than he was as Elton John in the film!<\/p>\n The Derns–Laura and Bruce. Photo by Karen Salkin.<\/p><\/div>\n I love that Laura Dern<\/strong> ran right over to hug her father when she won! (But she looked dreadful when they cut from the colorful Scarlett Johansson<\/strong> to her as she was giving her speech. She was one of the many women who needed lipstick! But her acceptance speech was nice.\u00a0\u00a0And she had really good nails, which you know I always appreciate.)<\/p>\n What was Jennifer Garner<\/strong> doing there as a presenter? Has she even worked in show biz in years? (Outside of doing commercials, of course.) And I hate that she didn\u2019t pause for even one second in announcing the winner! She\u2019s one person they should have ditched in favor of having JLo present!!!<\/p>\n Gorgeous Brad Pitt giving his hilarious speech. Photo by Karen Salkin.<\/p><\/div>\n Okay, I now officially love Brad Pitt! I never, ever cared about him even one little bit, (except for being sad for him when he was desperate for children and selfish Jennifer Aniston<\/strong> wouldn\u2019t have any, and being thrilled for him that he finally got a family with the kind Angelina Jolie,) but my love and admiration started at the end of his Golden Globes acceptance speech, and grew leaps and bounds with his SAGs one! Who knew that he was a riot??? (But then it diminished a bit with his backstage \u201creunion\u201d with his ex, Jennifer Aniston. Read on for my thoughts on that<\/em> bit, which the rest of the world is going gaga over.) [Note: That’s yet another pic of the\u00a0two gorgeous men–Brad Pitt on the right and Leonardo DiCaprio on the left–at the top of this page. Photo by Karen Salkin.]<\/p>\n I really disliked those stupid little pre-taped supposed comedy bits, each featuring one TV actor, that ran when the show was coming back from commercials. All the bits (and<\/em> actors, actually,) came off as smug and pretentious.<\/p>\n Sophie Turner, and some stranger named Pedro Pascal. Photo by Karen Salkin.<\/p><\/div>\n I never saw her before, (or just didn\u2019t notice her,) but Sophie Turner<\/strong>, (Mrs. Joe Jonas,) is very pretty.<\/p>\n I have never ever heard the name Pedro Pascal<\/strong> before, and I never saw him before, either. Why would the producers have such an obscure person be a presenter, especially when there were so many stars in that room?! (They should have at least told us his credit.)<\/p>\n The Jojo Rabbit peeps: Taika Waititi, Scarlett Johansson, and adorbs Roman Griffin Davis. Photo by Karen Salkin.<\/p><\/div>\n I love that Michelle Williams<\/strong>\u2019 pregnancy is showing a little now. I\u2019m glad that her life finally looks happy.<\/p>\n What are Gwendolyn Christie<\/strong>\u2019s hips doing??? Is that dress form-fitting?<\/p>\n I love\u00a0everyone<\/em>\u00a0from\u00a0Jojo Rabbit<\/em>, but especially young Roman Griffin Davis<\/strong>. I could listen to him speak all day!<\/p>\n Gee, I wonder where Jennifer Aniston’s nipples are. Photo by Karen Salkin.<\/p><\/div>\n I\u2019m sorry, but I just am not into Jennifer Aniston. At all. I actually find her to be phony and creepy. As I tweeted last night, I\u2019m pretty confident that she wore that nipple-featuring, body-clinging, half-naked slip dress just to try to attract Brad Pitt. I was hoping it wouldn\u2019t work, but from their much-photographed little backstage encounter, which most of the world seems to be loving, perhaps it did. Since she freely admitted years ago that their first date was room service and sex, I have a feeling last night might have been a repeat performance. I have no problem with Brad getting a little something something, but here\u2019s my problem with their relationship in general: When they were married, I saw him on a couple of interviews saying that he was desperate to have children, and that he wanted at least five. Meanwhile, I believe that Jennifer was not into having kids, and therefore I always felt bad for Brad. So when he got together with earth-mother Angelina Jolie, who I consider to be one of the kindest people on earth, that seemed like a perfect relationship. Brad and Angelina\u2019s beautiful looks match, their love of children and being parents matched, and I just loved seeing them together. I totally understand that Angelina had to kick him out because he was an alcoholic at that point. And now it appears that he\u2019s begun to get his life together. So I would rather see him be with someone who\u2019s also kind and caring, who also has a great love of children, than to see him go back to cigarette-smoking Jennifer Aniston. The end.<\/p>\n Robert DeNiro. Photo by Karen Salkin.<\/p><\/div>\n Robert DeNiro<\/strong> is the man! I loved his speech! It was spot-on, in every way. And, I must add, even though I am never<\/em> a fan of white hair, on anyone<\/em>, that was perhaps the best he\u2019s ever looked!<\/p>\n Lili Reinhart<\/strong> may be the only one who looks okay with her cleavage exposed like that. And I appreciate that it\u2019s a creamy<\/em> cleavage, as opposed to the usual wrinkly ones that the older actresses (like Patricia Arquette<\/strong> and Susan Sarandon) just love to foist on us, for some unknown reason.<\/p>\n Lili Reinhart’s creamy cleavage. Photo by Karen Salkin.<\/p><\/div>\n I liked Peter Dinklage<\/strong>\u2019s speech. It was amusing, grateful, and very appropriate.<\/p>\n I thought someone walking-out on stage was Bea Arthur! (Even though she\u2019s been deceased for quite awhile.) But it was Glenn Close<\/strong>.<\/p>\n I adored Joaquin Phoenix\u2019s speech. It was very generous. And he really got me when he mentioned Heath Ledger.<\/p>\n Could someone get these women some lipstick, please??? No one loves a pale lip more than\u00a0I<\/em>\u00a0do, but there\u2019s a time and place for it.\u00a0\u00a0And an awards show, on which you might possibly win and have to give an acceptance speech, is definitely not it!<\/p>\n By the way–this is what I emnat when I said Laura Dern looked bad after they showed Scarlett. Our eyes went from this beauty to…<\/p><\/div>\n …this drabness of Laura Dern!!! See what I mean? It was kind-of visually shocking. Both photos are by Karen Salkin.<\/p><\/div>\n Renee Zellweger<\/strong> did her thick Southern accent again. I\u2019ve heard her in person, and it\u2019s never been like this. And she really needed lipstick and earrings, as so many others did, too. But most importantly, as I tweeted\u00a0last night, she deserved<\/em> the win for portraying\u00a0Judy Garland…just for demonstrating that she can<\/em> open her eye slits when she wants to!<\/p>\n<\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a>
