SAG TV Nominations

[Moviefreak]

Even if this is true (I get the feeling I would hate it no matter what), that does not mean a Lange fan has room to crow about her position vis a vis Streep.

Also, why am I talking about actresses?

I actually think he's a fan of both of them lol.

[veritas]

AHS: Asylum not being nominated in Ensemble is a crime.

[Rage Colored Glasses]

If the SAGs are good for one thing it's making the Emmys look cutting edge. And being morons. Good for CK and Poehler though.

We can crow all we want especially when Streep herself does some of the crowing re: Lange for us! Now don't be bitter. Be happy and celebrate!

I don't think so. lol. Don't you remember the Tootsie/Sophie's Choice/GolderDerby thread?

You would say so just because I don't lick her clit the way I obviously do Lange's. Listen, I've already stated ad nauseum, as a person who is here to cheer Lange on - yes, exclusively - how much I love Streep and how I agree she should have three Oscars and nearly as many nominations as she already has, just not for "The Iron Lady" and a few other films And yet, I'm still maligned for being so astute in my dissection of her performances as I am.



I can't help that. But please don't spread around that I somehow don't like or actually dislike Streep. It's not my issue that Lange, as an actress, and perhaps her fan(s), make you insecure about your own preferences. Ugh, so tired of this vitriol and getting ready for something good for all you mofos.

Both Lange and Streep have an uncanny ability to rise high above the material given to them. Not so easy being an actress of 60plus these days. The confidence and authority that both of these women project is awe-inspiring. No need to choose sides. The Frances-Sophie's Choice contest was years ago. I would imagine that neither of them give it much thought and look to the future. Both of these women have moved on and in an industry filled with land mines for actresses of their age, each has blossomed. Yes, American Horror Story is a Ryan Murphy trifle on one hand but the acting is first rate among all ensemble members. Lange is probably doing the best work of her career and no need to belittle this fact. A shame that the work of all involved was overlooked by SAG.

Preach!

Lange's monologue about her mother and the squirrel deserves every award that could possibly be given

[Howard Beale's Toothpaste]

don't see why you guys are surprised about the Comedy Ensemble nods. The Office and Glee have EXCEPTIONALLY LARGE credited casts. And everyone loves Mayim Bialik!

P.P.P.S. On why Lange should win (and other shtuff), if the Danes-Moore duo don't win....

RE: Latest episode (#9, "The Coat Hanger"):

Once again, Lange was/is the best in show. A show, I might add, that seems to be turning increasingly vicious and merciless on her character and, quite frankly, on her as an actress. As someone who is obsessed with Lange - obviously! - I've noticed, from hours and hours of dissecting her performance(s) on this show, that she seems to get the most unflattering lighting, the harshest angles and the most neutering editing (sometimes the worst writing, too). It doesn't help that age isn't necessarily working on her side and she's also lived a harsh life - alcohol, cigarettes, a hard break-up and fading botox (those pesky awards shows, though, do seem to always get her right in the sweet spot when it comes to this Hollywood plague; stop it, girl, you is beautiful!).

Still, she manages to transcend all that shit and continually delivers. She's a fucking bull, man (funny enough, she is on the Aries/Taurus cusp) and it shows in her willingness and dogged determination. Her performances on this show have been fierce to behold and I love that the industry has showered her with so much love, praise and hardware for not only being one of the greatest actresses to ever grace the big or small screen but also for being brave enough to A) star on a Ryan Murphy show (I think it's self-explanatory why that's brave) and B) to dive in head first into the dreaded "Horror Genre" pool. In the end, though, she’s come out smelling like the Bette Davis of her/this generation (cigarettes, booze and all).

Also, I’m so, so, so looking forward to “Therese”. I’m actually happy it’s being released next year in time for all of the festivals and awards. I really think she’s going to be welcomed warmly by those who matter. Also, from what I hear she, along with Olsen, are “amazing” in the pic.

That being said, I’ve sort of changed my mind and hope she doesn’t return for season three of “American Horror Story”. Maybe she’ll get other TV or film offers and maybe she won’t (she can always focus on her photography and finally get something published in terms of her writing). In either case, I feel like it’s her time to move on. I also feel it might do the show some good. I mean, as long as Lange is around she will continue being the only awards magnet on this thing. She can’t help that she outshines everyone despite the aforementioned obstacles...
Anyway, it’s time for Lange to drop the security blanket and for the show to pop off its training wheels and take off on its own. I would wish it well...

Finally, CONGRATULATIONS, Ms. Lange (and all rooting fans), for your recent Golden Globe and SAG Award nominations!!!! Another year of “just desserts” – what a loaded phrase, lol – seems to be coming your way!
If she doesn’t win, I know she’d be happy for whomever does (I’m looking at you Danes and Moore).

Ta-Ta

EDIT: Aside from Lange, Paulson is officially my favorite. She should’ve been nominated for both both “AHS: Asylum” and “Game Change” at the SAGs and Globes. Also, though I love Rabe - almost as much as Paulson - she’s starting to become - or maybe it’s the writing - a bit too self aware. Personally, I’m leaning more towards it being the writing. We get it, you’re the devil, you hate Sister Jude Martin and get off on ridiculing and punishing her, along with killing others, and you want to ascend to the highest offices of the Catholic Church. Still, I’d rather see more of the real Sister Mary Eunice than “Eunicefer”. Give the girl some heart and substance.

It always works wonders for Lange (or is it she who is bringing the heart and substance to the material?)…

Lange won last year. There's no way Claire Danes doesn't take this and hell if by some miracle she doesn't, I'd almost argue Maggie Smith might take it, since she's nominated several times this year and has never won a SAG.

Love these nominations:

Does anyone know why Michael Shannon wasn't nominated with the rest of the cast for Boardwalk Empire?

Delightful winners.
Cranston's 1st Sag or Globe, and not Lewis. I suspect Argo pushed him over the edge.
Instead of Boardwalk's 3rd, or a show where one woman carries everyone else, a true drama ensemble wins.
Instead of White's 3rd, Fey breaks the record for her category and matches Margulies's record for individual Sags for a woman.
