SAG NOMINEES ANNOUNCED.

The Screen Actors Guild has announced it's yearly list of nominees for the best in film and television and there are not too many surprises here. I will continue to state that Kristen Wiig should be nominated for all these awards for Bridesmaids because what she does is ACTING, not just broad comedy. Few can do what she did with as much grace and talent. I digress... here are the nominees. My picks are in BOLD.
