The Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards

The Screen Actors Guild awards mostly were no surprises apart from Ruby Dee taking Best Supporting Actress for her performance in American Gangster. In her long career this is her first Oscar nomination and now, with the best indicator of all behind her, it is possible Ruby could take the award next month. Other winners were Daniel Day-Lewis, Julie Christie and Javier Bardem who continued their success in the precursors and cemented their Oscar chances. No Country For Old Men won the overall cast award adding to its popularity in the critics and further giving it the chance to walk away with the Oscar.
