Tonight is the Screen Actors Guild Awards. I love this awards ceremony, because this where the actors nominate and award each other. Kinda funny and self indulgent. I like to watch this one because just like the Golden Globes it is a relaxed atmosphere and there is alcohol served, so you never know what is going to be said.
