Stale Popcorn

The SAG Awards don’t mean squat in my opinion.  They are even less worthless than the Globes or Independent Spirit Awards.  They do nothing to alter the Oscar race. They mean nothing to the race.  It’s just a night for actors to kiss each others’ asses.  In any event, it’s an award show that I like to watch to see what everyone is wearing, so here are your nominees courtesy of the SAG website:
