The SAGS are now History

Went 4 for 5 in my Filmic predictions - missing only Supporting Actress. If you toss in the TV categories, then I was only 5 for 13 - ugghhh!? But we're all about the cinema here at the appriopiately titled "Cinematheque", so my record stands at 4 for 5.

Most Interesting tidbit of the night???

Crash taking home Best Ensemble (and it is much more a real ensemble than BBM) is significant in the fact that it could very well be the one film that could theoretically take down BBM at the Oscars - a la Shakespeare in Love's "surprising" victory over the all-about-the-precursers Saving Pvt. Ryan back in '98 (something I predicted by the way). Will this happen? Who knows, we haven't even gotten the nominations yet - we'll have five weeks to obsess over who and/or what will win the little golden guy.

Other fun moments of the night:

S. Epatha Merkerson thanking her divorce lawyer (which garnered the biggest laugh of the night). Great moment indeed.

Heath Ledger's (coked up or drunk?) fidgety introduction to BBM clips.

And back to my 4 for 5 prediction rate. Amy (the lovely missus) went 3 for 5 (missing both supporting actors), but we ended up tying overall with our 5 for 13 rankings. More on my overall prediction rates so far this awards season a little later.
