The SAG Award nominations were announced this morning, and much like the Golden Globe nominations, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are both contenders in a variety of categories.
Brad Pitt is nominated for best actor and faces competition from Richard Jenkins (The Visitor), Frank Langella (Frost Nixon), Sean Penn (Milk), and Mickey Rourke (The Wrestler).
Benjamin Button is also up for best ensemble, up against Doubt, Frost/Nixon, Milk, and Slumdog Millionair, and Taraji P. Henson is nominated for supporting actress as well.
Meanwhile, Angelina Jolie is nominated for best actress, going head to head with Anne Hathaway (Rachel Getting Married), Melissa Leo (Frozen River), Meryl Streep (Doubt), and Kate Winslet (Rev Road).
So much talent all around, the awards are all going to be interesting to watch.
Meanwhile, this is certainly a nice birthday present for Brad Pitt, being nominated for a SAG award. Congratulations to them both!
(Remember when Brad and Angelina attended last year’s SAG Awards and everyone was still trying to figure out if she was pregnant and she wore the dress in the above photo? That was fun!)

Regarding Ben Affleck’s comment that AJ is not high profile enough as UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador, some people were saying that it was said in jest. Whether his comment was just a joke or not, It is still not proper as the subject matter (helping refugees etc) is a SERIOUS thing. It is not something to make silly remarks. There is always a PROPER TIME FOR EVERYTHING
He can help in his capacity WITHOUT THE NEED TO UNDERMINE THE EFFORTS,TIME, MONEY spent by other people specifically Angelina Jolie. If he really wanted to help, fine, good for him and for the unfortunate ones but he SHOULD LEARN WHEN TO SHUT HIS MOUTH. What a way to draw attention to himself but to use Ms. Jolie who I have high regard & respect for the things she has done in her own capacity for the past years up to the present.
SHOWING KINDNESS FOR OTHERS is always good but TO CRITICIZE the kindness of others is JEALOUSY & JUDGMENTAL.

melodie: i think it was the JP’s neighbor or something like that who called the paramedics (not quite sure though). goodluck with your exam. you can do it. (wink :P)
i hope i am wrong but i have this feeling that angie won’t be nominated for the oscars. i just have this feeling that she’ll be snubbed again, but i hope they won’t this time. (fingers crossed)

Lisa, I didn’t see anywhere on that site to vote for Shiloh, but I DID vote in their “Who will be the first to get pregnant in 2009?”…and ended up giggling at the results. Angelina is in second so far (Katie Holmes is in first).
The woman confirms they will be adopting next, AND that they will wait a little while before adding to their family, and people STILL think she’ll get pregnant again next, and early in 2009, to boot! Does nobody actually read her interviews anymore?
I also chuckled at the fact that JA is currently in third in the poll…but don’t even get me started there!

Oh, and Melodie, if it came from OK, I’d take it with a grain of salt if I were you. I think that if there were any truth to it being someone in their entorauge, especially if it was a family member (Brad’s father was the first person who came to mind when I read your comment, although I don’t know if he can yet be classed as elderly), I think it would have been reported by more legimite media sources by now.

Oh, and I stand corrected in my earlier comment about all the tabs reporting that Angie was expecting twins before she “announced” the pregnancy herself. If I am remembering correctly, I don’t think Ugh Weakly jumped on the “twin train” right away.

Can’t believe it has almost been a year since the last award season and all the hype about Angie being pregnant or not. I hope Angie and Brad are nominated for an oscar. They don’t have to win, just want them to be nominated. They always seemed in the past to be short changed in the end, nominated for all the other awards leading up to the oscars and even being on the pre-oscar panel. Then not nominated. So lets all put our prayers together and hope they are nominated!!!!!

Neer, I agree with you. When I read what Ben A said I had to keep re-reading it to try to figure out if he was serious or not. Any way I didn’t like his statement.
Happy Holidays to all

Neer, my guess is that Ben wasn’t serious. I just can’t picture Ben Affleck saying something like that unless he was just joking. Ben and Jennifer (Garner, obviously) are two of the most down-to-earth celebs out there, and I just can’t picture either of them putting other celebs down!

I’m trying to see all the movies and actors that have been nominated. However, several of the movies are not showing in my hometown. When I was in Dallas during the holidays I got to see Slumdog M. and the Reader. Kate W. was really good in the Reader. Slumdog was good but I like CCOBB for best picture, just feel that the meaning behind the story is so beautiful. CCOBB is different. In Slumdog you know at the end that the boy and girl will get together. Typical story, poor kids with hard life in India, determine to find the girl and goes on show that she likes to watch in hopes that she will see him.
Now CCOBB is so different and just beautiful.
Taraji should be nom for an oscar. She was really good. I just hope Angie and Brad are nominated, I just feel that they may not win. Just want them to be recognized by the academy and nominated. I hate for them to be invited to that stupid panel before the nom as done in the past years and then not nominated.
