Remember how I said December was basically one massive clusterf*ck of year-end retrospectives / holidays / announcements for the new year? Well, I almost forgot to add “AWARD SEASON”, because oh yeah, it’s starting. The hype train is on the rails and nothing will stop it. So first, we have the Screen Actors Guild Awards (taking place January 25th), the fanciest and most high-falutin’ of the awards show because it involves a guild. The nominations were released yesterday, so let’s take a look at who is potentially up for the pudding (Also, I’ve marked off my guessed winners …)
