We are back again for our second live blog of the 2013 awards season and tonight it's the 2013 Screen Actors Guild Awards and it's sort of fun to say that tonight there is actually a reason to watch and pay attention for anyone the least bit interested in the awards race.
Will Best Ensemble go to Lincoln? Argo? Silver Linings Playbook?
Will it be Jennifer Lawrence (Silver Linings Playbook) or Jessica Chastain (Zero Dark Thirty) taking home Best Actress?
And what about Supporting Actor? will it be Robert De Niro (Silver Linings Playbook), Philip Seymour Hoffman (The Master) or Tommy Lee Jones (Lincoln)?
I think it's safe to assume Daniel Day-Lewis (Lincoln) and Anne Hathaway (Les Miserables) will go home winners tonight, but otherwise it's a wide open show.
You can check out the full list of nominees for both movies and television right here and the results of the RopeofSilicon reader predictions here. Otherwise, the live blog begins directly below and continues over the next several pages for the rest of the night.
Just refresh the page every so often for our updated posts as we have already ventured to PAGE TWO of tonight's live blog.

UPDATE: The server was going to crash so we had to go back to the old style of live blogging... Click over to PAGE TWO for the rest of our coverage.
Let the games begin
I think Jessica may pull the upset.
Come on!
Would it be an upset though? She's been a frontrunner throughout the entire season
I think Lawrence has been the frontrunner since Toronto.
However if Chastain wins tonight she will be the frontrunner.
I am sure BAFTA will go for Riva.
Ya, I think Lawrence has been the frontrunner for sure, but I am rooting for Chastain. Whoever wins today will be the new frontrunner though.
Me too. I liked her performance better than Jennifer Lawrence's to be honest.
Let's hope not, her performance was overrated. Jennifer Lawrence had the more dynamic role. Besides Chastain is so boring in her speeches; she comes off as rehearsed and disingenuous.
I think that this is the first awards show that Phillip Seymour Hoffman is attending to. Hopefully he'll take Best Supporting Actor
Gotta love the MANICAM!!
Looking good Laremy! Unfortunately, I have to go for a bit now, but I will return. Eventually.
Yay! This is working out great! So happy you made the switch.
Also, pre-show? God bless you.
Thanks for the anniversary wishes Laremy! :)
The new format works great guys! Even better than the last one!
This new format is fantastic
great set up for the live blog guys. loving it.
No pre-show for me. Finishing up watching Slumdog Millionaire for the first time!
If you were a star in the red carpet, would you go for a renown designer for your suit? If so, what designer?
Good stuff. I am liking this set-up a lot. I think we all can agree that the SAG Awards are the must-watch event of the year! I'm so excited, I can't eat! haha. Here's hoping for something exciting.
Love the new set up. Really hoping Les Mis wins and just screws the oscar race up even more.
I guess Seacrest is too good for the SAGs??
I'm glad that I'm not watching the Pre-show.
In my own personnel hell it's just a 24/7 loop of E! Red carpet coverage.
Dear God this is shameful.
Ok, I got Nurse Jackie spoiled in the AP Red Carpet stream. I don't watch that series but....
Just got here, love the new format. Also, when can we expect a guest appearance from Laremy's dog on the podcast?
This is beyond bad. Guilianna needs to stop with this "make it rain" nonsense.
Do you think Giuliana goes home after this, stares into a mirror and cries?
So much money on her journalism degree wasted.
Jennifer Lawrence looks stunning in the blue dress, but her face looks drained. I fear she might collapse. Harvey is killing her to get her the Oscar :wink:
Hearing Gloria Ruben talk is a such a pleasure. She is great.
Aren't the Outstanding Action Performances by Film and Television Stunt Ensembles usually the last awards to be presented? I feel like I don't even have to watch anymore. . .
I hope the new format can be used again for future stuff.
Oh well, refreshing the page isn't so bad. yolo right?
Checking in from outside Richmond, VA and rooting strongly against Silver Linings Playbook.
For what it's worth, CNN is also covering the red carpet if E is just too unbearable.
The Dark Knight is showing on TNT right now.
Much better than the Pre-Show.
Just saw today, back-to-back, Winter's Bone and Silver Linings Playbook. Jennifer Lawrence needs to win something tonight. She's very, very good at what she does.
I'm watching a stream of the AP coverage. It's absolutely brutal. The interviewers don't seem to understand they have to speak into the microphone, so all the viewers get is "Yes .. . Definitely.. . .For sure. . "
No per-show for me, trying to finish my book before the awards start.
Sorry the new format didn't work out. Hope you'll work it out soon. Either way, these live blogs are still a lot of fun!
Excited to see who wins best supporting actor and best essemble. My vote is DeNiro for supporting and Lincoln for essemble. Although I would really like to see Argo or SLP take essemble causing the Oscars to be even more exciting. Should be a good awards night if we can get past this pre-show.
I kind of hope Cooper pulls off a miraculous upset after being asked if he feels sexy, poor guy.
Brad, I think Beautiful Creatures is going to be forgotten because if it's anything like the trailers, it's going to be crap.
Did Seyfried really just say that she hope her movie doesn't win for ensanble?? GO LES MIS!!
Wow. Horrible spelling haha sorry bout that
Do Brad and Laremy avoid movie TV spots?
So Zero Dark Thirty gets flack for its tourture but nobody bats an eyelash at E!? #Unfair
I don't know where a Freaks and Geeks marathon would end up on my list of things I would rather do than watch the red carpet. But it is up there... So I'll take it!
Oh great, Laremy is a fan of WWE!
I'll try to watch both shows so I'll let you know
Wow, those Target commercials are weird.
Apparently, we'll be getting a sneak peek of Oz: The Great and Powerful during the Awards.
Corbin is missing out.
No, I won't. I'm back!
Hey Brad, we may disagree on Silver Linings but at least we both agree that Django is the year's best film. As for Laremy putting Silver Linings at #1...I disagree, but I respect your opinion, even when it's wrong :D
How many times are you going to say this? We get it... :-/
Oh My God, the AP basically just said the Sofia Vergara Pepsi commercial was the best thing ever. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
OMG the Afflack duck is injured?!?! Plz helps him!!!!
Anyone know of a site that's streaming the actual show? UK bound here - and I'm really slogging it. I just want to see a Chastain win.
Anybody else have the suspicion that Giuliana could actually be a #GoodComment contributor?
Prediction
If De Niro wins Best Supporting Actor and Lawrence wins Best Actress, SLP is going to win Ensemble.
Dark Knight is on right before SAG awards on TNT. How fucking awesome is this movie!?
So much better than the Pre-Show. The ending still gives me chills.
Me too. Every time.
Crap, I'm gonna miss part of the show because I have to finish my book tonight and I have 17 pages left and there's no way I'll finish before the show starts!!!
We made it guys! I fell like we should all get matching tattoos now. #NeverForget
Hahaha. Nice.
Ok, they're going overboard with the puns. . .
this intro is fucking awful. why am i watching this. LAREMY! BRAD! WHY AM I WATCHING THIS?!
oh, now I know. #sofiaverga'sboobs
Now, we can let the REAL games begin.
He writes for film.com. He is an integral part of the BnL Podcast. He is a self proclaimed master at live blogging. He's Laremy Legel and he's a critic.
LMAO! Awesome.
Wow, this is really not good. At all.
Well that was a waste of 4 minutes.
Tommy Lee!
Good for Tommy Lee Jones.
Personally, I liked Hoffman better, but Tommy Lee Jones was very good.
Still haven't seen SLP, but now I really want to! And Supporting Actress! Predicted: Anne Hathaway.
Anne Hathaway has that Oscar sewn up now!
Eh Jones? He was good but doesn't deserve it over Hoffman or De Niro.
Two film awards right away...I guess that means we get an hour and a half of TV awards before the big three at the end.
Well, looks like Lincoln might be able to get Best Ensemble. Maybe I'm getting ahead of myself.
so i just woke up, brad and laremy are live-bloggin' and i can see a livestream. nice
Any chance of getting the link to the live feed?
http://livetvcafe.net/video/7N41RY9KYGOS/TNT
So what do we think the odds are of Jodie Foster crashing the party and giving us another stream of consciousness?
Now for the TV awards. If I take a nap, will I be able to wake up for the other acting awards? Better not to risk it.
Hoffman snubbed again.
#AnythingButArgo
everything about this is bad. I know I set the bar high by watching UFC last night. Ya know something that was actually entertaining....but god damn this is dumb.
Aaand it's TV. may take a break.
Sorry Laremy, as Washington said, the military is "protecting out freedoms."
*Our
The thing I don't like about awarding TV Actors is that they can be great in one episode and terrible in another.
What's Baldwin's SAG streak now? 8 years?
Why does Tina Fey have a career?
Because she's funny.
Ha... oh you're serious.
Yes, I am. She's hilarious on 30 Rock and she was great in Date Night. However that Admission movie she's in doesn't look that good.
I think she is great in 30 Rock.
Yikes, who invited Debbie Downer to the live blog?
I would do dirty things to Tina Fey...but if I met IRL I would just chicken out and drool while she slapped me......which coincidentally would also cause me to ejaculate.
I don't think Tina Fey is on that level. Maybe two below.
Tommy Lee Jones winning over PSH is depressing. Can't complain about Anne Hathaway since she deserved it. Let's lope the rest of the night goes well now.
I'm missing this entire show right now because their starting the show late where I am so they can show some make-up show.. Why would they do that????
I haven't liked Alec Baldwin since he started do those stupid Capitol One commericals
I want to burrow into Jeff Richmonds body like a parasite and chill there for the rest of my life.
Affleck forgot to thank the clandestine services.
Here's a law...big bang theory is awful.
Well everyone has a right to their own opinion but in my opinion, The Big Bang Theory is the funniest show on tv.
I will not say bad things about you because I don't know you and you could be a perfectly normal awesome person. HOWEVA, TBigBangT is regurgitated dogshit...in my opinion.
I'm so happy I don't watch these shows....
...But don't let that stop you from having an opinion on them! #Boom! #Trolled
Never have before, not gonna start now. #Boom #GetSerious
Cool story bro #Yawn
U mad bro? #Hipster
HASHTAGBRO###############################
is anyone else really bored with the show?
I am too. Once the movies come back it might get interesting.
I'm barely even looking at the TV.
To be honest, I'm not even watching right now. Just relying off of the blogging...
I was afraid they were going to get Sofia Vergara to speak for them. . .
So, by sneak peak at Oz, it means the exact same footage we have already seen? Amazing!
Larmey Big show lost in the last man standing match FYI
Also, I wonder if they'll cut DDL off like they did in the Globes. Maybe it will become a "thing".
LOL. The Silver Linings Playbook commercial shows the ending of the movie.
I saw an add for Django which showed the plantation blowing up.
#spoilers #nohardfeelings
..... my bad
Laremy, u watch 1600 Penn but not Modern Family?
It's cool Laremy. At least u don't watch The Big Bang Theory. At least 1600 Penn has a little potential.
Laremy, you watch Whitney at all?
Brad I believe it's " Julianne Moore and Damian Lewis... not Harris
Hey guys, I know it wasn't nominated for any SAGs, but is there any love for 'Community' in these comments?
I love me some Community!!
#October19th
#sixseasonsandamovie
Wow.
I REALLY don't care about TV
(Unless it's Breaking Bad).
I was just thinking "I really would love to watch someone read off a bunch of meaningless names for a minute." That'll be exciting.
Holy lord, Julianne Moore thanked a lot of people.
Game Change was funny. And if Julianne Moore's representation of Sarah Palin is even 50% accurate..........HASHTAGSHUTTERBRO#
Why do they say "the actor goes to" rather than "the award goes to", "the winner is", etc.
#NewbQuestion
I think it's because the statue is of an actor
#iprobablysoundstupid
Ah - makes sense.
Thank god we are getting a SAG-AFTR update.
This is really boring...
2nd
ZeroDarkThirty'd
Larmey team hell no wins!
I didn't think this could get any more painful but then Whoopi started talking...
Haha, I agree
One Union! "It's God's Will"
Is this a workers union or a weird cult?
I'm coughing and have chest pains. Is this bad?
#tuberculosis
Had to look away from the TV during the Side Effects ad.
Ditto
GET BACK, "SIDE EFFECTS" TRAILER!!! I SHALL NOT WATCH THEE!
Does anyone know what time the show is on until?
10:00 P.M. EST
Ok thanks
Hey, look!
More Side Effects trailers!
Yeah I'm muting and looking away from Side Effects TV spots now too.
ha Laremy is local news tv list STAPLE where's his SAG membership?! "BEST TWEET, BEST.......meat? deet? feat?"
anybody have a live stream link?
$10 says the Lincoln clip they show for D-Day Lewis is of him going "Now, Now Now!"
"Clothed in IMMENSE power!"
Or the "I AM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES... CLOTHED IN IMMENSE POWER"
i only have a buffalo nickel.
That will do.
Has Daniel Day Lewis portrayal almost become comedic now?
Actually it kind of has, haha
Well, you could say the same about "I've abandoned my child!," or "I drink your milkshake!" from There Will Be Blood. He tends to have those kind of moments.
They are great in context, but can be made funny out of the moment
Just tell us how awesome Side Effects is so we don't have to constantly mute the TV and close our eyes. We look like idiots over here!
Hathaway did a Laremy: "Crushed it."
Taking a break to eat some food. I'll be back later. Hopefully all the TV awards will be over by then.
I'm so disappointed that I missed les mis in theatres. It looked so good! I guess I'll just have to wait for DVD...
was that the song from Blue Valentine?
It's time for a Dick Van Dyke montage!
What movie is everyone gonna watch after the show ends?
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang
The Green Mile. Or at least what's left of it.
Dick Van Dike is about to demand privacy.
I wonder if Dick van Dyke is 'Honey Boo Boo child'.
Dick Van Dyke is actually one of the most lively people that's been on stage all night.
I know, right? And he's probably the oldest person there.
Yeah, clap for yourselves actors. Such great humanitarians.
I hated Dick van Dykes speech. It was waaaay too short and made waaaay too much sense.
Oh great, Jessica Chastain...woo-hoo.
Hope Bugsy's ok!
They used that song from the doctor show in the trailer for 127 Hours... to much better effect.
Oh no. Hope Bugsy is okay, Laremy!
Really? Because we need another hospital drama
Amy Pohler and Neil Patrick Harris....this is hilarious!!!
Did Van Dyke just snub Baldwin, thank no one and then walk off stage without the award?
#TeamBuscemi
But I'm so happy that Cranston took it. Well deserved.
I have to admit, I've never seen an episode of Breaking Bad
Same, and I have no desire to.
Neither have I.....
Yeah, go Bryan Cranston!!!! "It is so good to be bad" lol
I'm getting worried about Laremy. Stay with us Laremy! We are fighting through this, and so should you! #solidarity
Who is that gorgeous blonde at Cranston's table?
Anna Gunn maybe? She's the only blonde that i can think of who is on the show.
Nah - not her. It was a young woman prob in her late 20s / early 30s.
B. Crans gets a solid........."Nice" for that speech.
Ending on penis innuendo. The way every speech should end.
I remember her from "Freeks and Geeks." Is she pregnant?
#AnythingButHomeland
Well, I'm back. Way to go Cranston!
#onlyshowiwatch
I love Homeland..... Hate Claire Danes
Do you have to hit the "refresh" button to read the next few comments??
yes. we are living in 2004 apparently. #ThanksObama
OBAMAAAAAAA!!!!
Ughh, haven't seen Homeland but I hate Claire Danes
Great show but iI almost had to stop watching midway through the second season because she was making it difficult to watch. She is awful.
just remind me to just watch the last 30 minutes next time. thank you
I'm barely watching the tv right now, I'm switching back and forth between the blog and temple run 2.
That game is so addicting!
is that the sequel to temple grandin?
No, it's a game.
Is it any different than the first one?
No.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ (pointing thumb) THIS GUY.
Oh god...Jessica Chastain.
I guess Claire missed the "How not to studder and stamper" class in acting school...
Jessica Chastain in that red dress....damn
I 2nd this.
Yes. I would Zero her Dark Thirty if you know what I mean.
I 3rd this.
Nothing compared to her Oscar dress from last year... THAT was damn... and now I'm sounding really effeminate.
Whitney Houston? An actor?
(On Claire Dane's Speech)
Friend: "Wow! She's on drugs, she's just rambling like a fool"
Me: "Maybe she's excited or nervous"
Friend: "She's not nervous. She's an actor"
#goodquotes
I'll take 10/1 they're diet pills (danes)
Charles Durning. The classiest man ever.
That awkward moment when you find out the real Mrs. Landingham from the West Wing died this year. :-/
There are a lot of people here who don't understand hashtags. Also, it's the SAG awards people, lighten up. There is no reason to be taking this seriously.
HASHTAG#TRUTH
Slogging out through SAG awards one realizes what a masterpiece Golden Globes award show was.
That awkward moment when you don't find out until watching the SAG Awards that the real Mrs. Landingham from the West Wing died this year. :-/
New drinking game, take a shot whenever a trailer for Side Effects comes on.
...or they show the ending of Silver Linings Playbook
I'm going to miss Dick Clark, New Years Rockin' Eve wasn't the same without him this year..
Another drinking game. You have to take a drink whenever the two presenters flub a line or go off-script.
They couldn't have shown a more random clip from Breaking Bad if they tried.
I know, I would not have chosen that clip.
Sweet, no more TV awards!
Oh ya! I like Downton Abbey! Surprising though
Has anyone watched Downton Abbey? I have zero desire
It looks boring, honestly. I'm sure it's well made.
I kid you not its actually pretty good. Kind of classic hokey soap opera stuff, but entertaining.
Fair enough. Yeah - just doesn't seem to be my type of show.
Something other than Homeland won, wow.
How could they give that award to Downton Abbey????
I have no interest in Downtin Abbey? Downtown Abbey? h#a#s#h#t@gMADmen
You know, there is not a person from the cast of Mad Men I would not have sex with.
Every time Sally Field speaks I think of Mrs. Doubtfire. Love that movie.
#GlassesGag #Fail
imnotgaybut20$is20$.jpg @ DDL
If Django Unchained was nominated for best ensemble, what do you think would be its chances for winning it? Waltz, DiCaprio, Jackson, Foxx.... just epic performances
Did I miss the nom for Movie 43 for best ensemble cast or will that go towards next years awards?
It will be Chastian.
EAT YOUR MEAT. YOU CANT HAVE ANY PUDDING UNTIL YOU EAT YOUR MEAT.
I liked Sally Field in Spider-Man but that's the only thing I've seen her in
Or not...
J-La beats J-Cha. No big surprise.
Actually, I was surprised lawrence won. I was much more impressed with her performance than chastain's.
j-law!
Yes, go Jennifer Lawrence!!! I knew she would win!!!
Good for Jlaw, but I liked Chastain better.
On a side note, Naomi Watts looked pretty nice.
Awww. I was really hoping for Chastain. Looks like Lawrence is the front-runner now.
Hard to not like Jennifer Lawrence
with those...........personalities.
I wanted Chastain to win. Oh, well. Still hope Riva wins come Oscar night...
Stop this j-law j-cha nonsense. We are not 12. Keep your annoying trends confined to the E! Network.
Can you post a link to their live blog?
yeah guys, listen to J-Ustin
Viola Davis won last year so....
Yeah, but Jennifer Lawrence isn't Meryl Streep.
And the nomination slate is quite different for the Oscars. I'm betting on Riva.
Riva does have the veteran factor working in her favor. *crosses fingers*
Plus it is Riva's birthday on Oscar night. Will that sway the vote?
Even though Lawrence is going to have momentum going into the oscars, I don't in any think these results make her a shu in. I still think that race is extremely tight and unpredictable. I have not seen the performance by riva, so I definitely not well informed.
But for the record I am hope for Lawrence to take it home.
Though I was rooting for Jessica Chastain, I figured a competition between Chastain and Lawrence is one I can't complain about. Two great young actresses who gave two great performances. Congratulations to Jennifer Lawrence!
I'd actually be happy with any of the nominees winning for Lead Actress. They're all SO deserving.
They are all deserving. But, politics unfortunately do play a big roles in the results.
I would have been fine with either winning the award.
A commercial for Side Effects came on and I didn't mute it or look away or anything, I just watched it..
Silver Linings! Lets do this!!
Is there another site that is faster then this one? That has live blogging?
woah just noticed the winners are listed on the right. good job!
I just lost $10.
LOL. I was thinking they might do it for the ensemble cast though.
Not gonna lie, but wanted Jessica Chastain to win just so she could get up on stage again.
(She also gave a great performance).
"You've really got to sort out your priorities"!
I love Bradley Cooper because, like me, he was just another acting school student who made it. But I also hate Bradley Cooper, because like me, he was just another scting school student, WHO MADE IT! ;)
I love Bradley Cooper because, like me, he was just another acting school student who made it. But I also hate Bradley Cooper, because like me, he was just another acting school student, WHO MADE IT! ;)
#WhereIsJoaquin
Oh my gosh I just saw Abraham Lincoln!
DDL shout out to Joaquin Phoenix. He's a classy guy.
How was it?
Well, I wanted Bradley Cooper to win, but it's no surprise Daniel Day-Lewis won. Still think that Lincoln looks terrible though.
I wonder if on Oscar night Daniel Day Lewis will pull a Zoolander out of habit
Oh my gosh I just saw Abraham Lincoln on TV!
after I'm done being a parasite inside Tina Feys husband can I burrow into DDL? Coops on CNN needs to give up the "Silver Fox" moniker.
D-Day had the best speech of the night.
"I realized that it was an actor who killed Abraham Lincoln. So I decided an actor should bring him back to life."
What a quote that was.
An epic quote from an epic actor.
Come on Silver Linings...
What a joke.
Oh fuck. Argo won :(
WTF, are you serious?
Goddamn it, Argo! Well, it looks as though we have a Best Picture winner.
Argo?!?
I actually thought it would lose this one
(plus, I bet As is ecstatic right now)
Really? Argo over Silver Linings???? Why???
Wow. Not to say I'm stunned, but I'm stunned.
Me too, I really think all of this Argo-ness in this case is a vote miscast. Slp had the best ensemble. I wonder whether the vote for best ensemble gets translated into "best picture" for these actors...
If so, I think it does a disservice to the spirit of the category
This looks so bad for the Academy for snubbing Affleck...I love when the academy looks bad :)
Even though I didn't love Silver Linings as much as most, it totally deserved Best Ensemble.
Argo did not have the best ensemble
Wow, I really liked Argo, but the performances were the weakest part of the movie. Lincoln and Silver Linings deserved it more.
I'll still be happy when Argo wins Best Picture, however
Yes, I would be very pleased if Argo wins best picture. I just don't think Lincoln is the best picture of the year. And if zd30 wins, that would be a misdiagnosis.
Well that show totally sucked, but the blog was good Brad.
I really do think that the Affleck snub just caused a big chain reaction or sympathy voting. The Academy thinks differently. Argo is good but not the years best film. I'd rather take any of the other nominees. This is a phase. Argo may be loved, but so is Lincoln, Les Mis, Lincoln, and Silver Linings. We shall see. It's not as sewn up as we may think.
I honestly don't get it. Why Argo?
I'm baffled.
Because America loves to love itself.
More like Hollywood loves to love itself, especially when they do Important Stuff.
I guess, but ZDT was way more blatantly pro America than Argo. Although Argo was a lot safer.
If Argo wins at the BAFTAs then I won't know what to think. . .
No no no. Trust me, there's no comparison. Next to Argo, ZDT is a bastion of subtlety.
Hmm. Well Argo did basically completely cut out Canada's involvement at all. So they get points for changing history. But ZDT got in a couple good shots about WMDs in Iraq that seemed to have no other place in the movie than justifying the Iraq War.
That being said I actually enjoyed ZDT a lot. Just found the 'Rah Rah America' to be a little much.
Oh, it's definitely jingoistic. No question about that. But go watch Argo again. It's so in-your-face it's ridiculous. It kinda reminded me of what it must have been like for black people back in the 30's when Hollywood had no problem doing blackface. It was so overtly racist that you couldn't believe what you were watching.
Yeah, I assume I'll have to give it at least one more watch before the Oscars. It's not that I didn't like it, I was fairly entertained throughout. It's just it was a fairly formulaic movie. There are Argo's that come out every year, and if you ask me, it was Afflecks weakest movie so far.
Maybe I'm secretly a closet neocon or something, but I didn't feel ZDT was particularly jingoistic at all, or too "Rah Rah America"...don't remember the WMD's comment, either. And I'm normally an almost hair-trigger liberal on that kind of stuff anywhere.
And it seems like 2013's The Fifth Estate is following in Argo's footsteps. 2014's BP winner?
http://blogs.indiewire.com/theplaylist/julian-assange-says-the-fifth-estate-is-mass-propaganda-and-the-script-a-lie-built-on-a-lie-20130128
Don't you think les mis has a stronger chance at bafta?
Yeah, I'm saying I was shocked Argo won this one, but I'd be even more confused if it ended up winning the BAFTAs. I assume either Lincoln or Les Mis will get it there
Are there any other award shows now before the Oscars?
BAFTA & Indie Spirits
All I can think of is the WGA and the Cinematographer thing. But I doubt they're televised
And the DGAs.
BAFTA and Indie Spirits usually don't do a good job of predicting Oscar winners, however.
Nope. But they're awards and they're televised.
BAFTA's can. Argo and Lincoln have a heap of nominations. If one of them happen there then it'll be interesting the BAFTA and Academy interconnect more than these guild awards. The guilds are also filled with TONS of TV people who are voting on ALL these categories. Like I said, this isn't sewn up yet.
The dga's will be curious if afflek wins. What will the academy do with their faces?!
Yeah, I think Argo is going to take home the Oscar. Especially after winning the PGA and SAG ensemble in two days. It's nowhere near my favorite movie of the year but I like Ben Affleck's enthusiasm, so I guess I'm not that bothered if it wins.
Larmey John cena wins the rumble
Ladies & Gentlemen, we have a best picture winner! R.I.P. Lincoln's Best Picture Chances (2012-2013).
Also, won't be able to join for Oscar Live Blog, but this was fun (except for watching the show).
Thanks Brad for providing a website for me to spout nonsense. This format.....could use improvements. I'm sure Vince @ FD could hook you up with the Uproxx way of doing it. It's better. Also Laremy I hope your best friend is well. You and Bugsy are missed. TTYL HAGS #ROPEOFSILICON
Funny how ebert predicted that Argo was going to win Best Picture when the movie came out and everybody was saying he was out of his mind! ^ ^
Ha I was just thinking the same thing.
The real surprise on Oscar night will be who ends up winning Best Director. That is if Affleck wins the DGA.
I think I'm in the minority, but I'm happy Argo won and will be even happier if it wins Best Picture. :)
I'm happy in a way.
I love the film, but I don't think that it had the best ensemble of the year.
If Affleck wins the DGA, then Argo has it sewn up.
It kind of feels Argo has it sewn up already, doesn't it? I am kind of bummed. I really loved Lincoln. But Argo was good too. Hard to complain with this field.
I will be cheering for ZDT over Argo come Oscar night.
Boo! I enjoyed watching zdt, fully pumped my system with adrenalin. But not the "best" picture.
Dammit! I was really hoping we would go into Oscar night unsure of who would win Best Pic... The lack of a directing nom means there's still hope for an upset... Oh well, at least I actually like Argo.
girls is a redic show. I DIDNT EVEN COME IN HER. says the gay dude. ELIJAH.
HASHTAG#CUM
Brad, do you think the Academy's snubbing of Affleck for Best Director has given Argo a boost with all of these awards? Or would it have done just as well even if Affleck were nominated?
Disregard, Bradley, you responded to my tweet! The only mystery left in this awards race, it seems, is who will win the Best Director Oscar.
Laremy, hope everything is ok with your dog. Brad, you did a good job without him... these awards in particular dont seem to have much going on. That Argo and Jennifer Lawrence win really has me excited for the Oscars now.
Me too, especially since the votes are still not in for the oscars.
In your opinions, how much of a chance do Argo and Lawrence have after tonight's results?
Great live blog!
Thanks for taking the time to do another entertaining awards blog guys! Laramy, Im glad Bugsy is doing better. It's surprising Argo won best essemble, but Im so glad it did. It is a bummer it most likey shuts the door on SLP winning best picture. Looks like a race between Argo and Lincoln with Argo being the favorite now. Should be the most exciting Oscar night we've had in years!
I apologize for spelling your name wrong, Laremy. It won't happen again. :)
Oh and btw, I'm so glad Cranston got some awards love finally for Breaking Bad. You guys need tow atch that show ASAP!
I'm just glad homeland dint sweep! Apparently I'm in the minority, but it is not the BEST tv drama, and Damian Lewis is in no way the best actor in a tv drama.
And I watch all of those shows.
I know most of you guys don't watch Downton abbey, but it does grow on you.
Breaking bad is a really clever show.
I'm glad for Bryan Cranston.
I have enjoyed scrolling through this blog. I could not join you all during the live blog because I am such a wimp about knowing the results before I see them live. You should see me with sports. I can get down right obnoxious!
Reading this blog was tremendous fun... Now let's just hope the Oscars get it right and award Silver Linings Playbook for best picture. Argo is simply accumulating awards left and right due to Ben Affleck's best director snub nomination. It was by no means the best ensemble! Blasphemy! Happy for Jennifer Lawrence though; however, I have a feeling she'll loose the Oscar to Riva (hope I'm wrong though). Cheers.
