John Krasinski and Amy Poehler Present at the SAG Awards

Despite being just a stone’s throw away from Sunday’s SAG Awards I sadly wasn’t able to see them as they don’t air live on the West Coast.  However, thanks to ALL* of you who emailed me, I was able to see what I can only guess would have been my favorite moment of the night.

Here’s John Krasinski and Amy Poehler’s bit before presenting Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series.

*I would normally post the names of the fine GMMR readers who sent along the link but since I received 26 emails about this same topic, I thought I would say a collective ‘Gracias’.

The Cast of THE OFFICE an the 2008 SAG Awards

By far the best moment of this year’s SAG Awards was when the cast of THE OFFICE, my very favorite show on television, took home the award for Outstanding Cast in an Ensemble Series (Comedy). It was a pleasant surprise and I think the cast was a bit surprised as well.

Here are some pics from the cast of THE OFFICE on the red carpet on last night’s SAG Awards. I’m having MAJOR technical difficulties today which is precluding me from sharing the ton of photos I have of the cast from last night. I figure something was better than nothing, but I do sincerely apologize and hope to have the rest up soon.

Congrats once again to this fabulous group of actors: Steve Carell, Rainn Wilson, Jenna Fischer, John Krasinski, Angela Kinsey, Ed Helms, Brian Baumgartner, Oscar Nunez, Phyllis Smith, Leslie David Baker, Kate Flannery, Creed Bratton, BJ Novak, Paul Lieberstein, Mindy Kaling, Melora Hardin and Craig Robinson. We miss you and can’t wait to see you (in non-reruns) soon!

THE OFFICE Cast – Red Carpet Arrivals….

THE OFFICE – Live from the Red Carpet
The video isn’t great, but hopefully it will serve a purpose until better quality videos are available.

Video #1: Ed Helms, BJ Novak, Jenna Fischer, Kate Flannery, Angela Kinsey, Brian Baumgartner and John Krasinski in various red carpet moments from last night’s SAG Awards

Video #2: John Krasinski talks to TV Guide’s Lisa Rinna on the red carpet (not sure how he kept his eyes on her face and not her inappropriate cleavage…nice job, John)

More pics from the ceremony and after party will be available once I figure out a way to beat this blog into an inch of its life and get things working again.

LIVE Blogging the SAG Awards

Here we go…the first big awards event of the season. I’ve just spent the past two hours checking out the red carpet arrivals and I hope you liked the pics I’ve posted. Definitely let us all know what you thought of tonight’s red carpet looks.But now it’s time to start the awards, and I’ll be live blogging through the whole show and I hope that you’ll leave your thoughts and comments as you watch along with me. For those of you coming late to the show, the latest commentary will be at the bottom of this page. Whew, I’m already tired.

• Sally Field, Doug Savant, Ellen Burstyn, Sandra Oh, Rebecca Romijn, Jane Krakowski, and Kyle MacLachlan opened the show with funny ditties about becoming an actor. What I would give to hear Johnny Depp say “Me want food!”

• Steve Carell and Tina Fey show the start off right by presenting the SAG award for Best Actor in a Drama to James Gandolfino of THE SOPRANOS

• OMG my computer just crashed…oh holy hell that sucked. I’m a few minutes behind, but haven’t missed any awards…sorry about that.

• Debra Messing and Zac Efron are about to give Glenn Close the award for Best Actress in a Drama for her role in DAMAGES. I kind of wish Sally Field would take it, but that’s just me. Here comes the announcement and the SAG goes to…Edie Falco of THE SOPRANOS!! WOW, that was kind of a surprise. But I guess the actors want to honor the mobsters for the final time.

• First commercial break…ok, so did anyone see Brad and Angelina on the red carpet? You think those rumors about her being pregnant again could be true? She was wearing a very flowy dress that certainly covered up whatever needed to be covered up. And let’s face it, Angelina Jolie doesn’t need to cover anything up.

• UGLY BETTY’s Vanessa Williams and CSI’s William Peterson are presenting the award for Outstanding Ensemble – Drama (wow, nothing like getting the TV awards out of the way early). I’m hoping this one goes to MAD MEN but the way the night’s going so far it could be THE SOPRANOS. And the SAG goes to the cast of THE SOPRANOS (zzzz…zzzzz). Sorry, I know it’s a nice gesture, but I’m sad that the other shows were overlooked.

• The first movie of the award of the night is going to Outstanding Actor in a Supporting Role and I’d be shocked if this one doesn’t go to Javier Bardem. There’s some amazing actors in this category, and sadly I haven’t seen one of the films. And as predicted by many, the SAG goes to Javier Bardem.

• Is anyone else surprised that there hasn’t been one mention of the WGA strike as of yet? I know there will be a statement made by the SAG President later, but I thought everyone would have mentioned them in their speech. And why am I already dreading any kind of tribute to Heath Ledger? I was watching Brokeback Mountain today and got all kinds of teary.

• Another TV award is up. Outstanding Female Actor in a Comedy Series – please please please let it be Tina Fey. Interesting that America and Vanessa are up for the same category for the same show. And the SAG goes to Tina Fey. YES!!!

• Now it’s all about the funny men – Outstanding Actor in a Comedy Series – I’m ok with almost any of these guys winning tonight, but I’ll be really happy is Steve or Ricky win. Ok, I take that back, if Tony Shaloub wins I will cry real tears. And the SAG goes to Alec Baldwin. Better next year, Steve. You’re still the best to me.

• Dexter’s Michael C. Hall and Big Love’s Jeanne Triplehorn are presenting the Outstanding Ensemble in a Comedy Series. I think you all know where my heart lies, but I think it’s going to the cast of 30 Rock this year. And (fingers crossed) the SAG goes to THE OFFICE. YAY!!!!!!Ok, my night is made. Jenna is speaking and she’s absolutely lovely!! Angela looks amazing with her baby bump. And that John Kraslowski (or whatever his name is) doesn’t look to shabby either.

The Cast of The Office in the Press Room
The first few minutes are awkward but it’s well worth it just to see the way John pulls Jenna over to him. If you squint enough you can pretend it’s Jim and Pam and life is all good. Oh, and could Paul (Toby) be ANY cuter?! I don’t think so. And I love how when a reporter asks what the award looks like, Angela just jumps off stage and brings it over to him. Adorbs! They all seems like SO much fun and appreciative of this time in their lives.

…if John Krasinski ever left acting (God forbid) he definitely has a career as a red carpet correspondent. He’s better than most of the people at E!
