NBC Tops SAG Award Count; ’30 Rock’ Wins, ‘Mad Men’ Also Honored

Jan 25, 2009  •  Post A Comment

NBC led the awards count among networks at the 15th annual Screen Actors Guild awards, with the network’s “30 Rock” among top honorees. AMC’s “Mad Men” also continued its winning ways in the year’s awards season.
“30 Rock” swept the TV comedy series categories, with wins for lead actors Tina Fey and Alec Baldwin, and an ensemble win for the whole cast.
“Mad Men” won for TV drama ensemble, while Hugh Laurie took the prize for lead actor for his role in Fox’s “House” and Sally Field was took lead actress for her work in ABC’s “Brothers and Sisters.”
NBC took three prizes, the highest count of any network, followed by HBO with two and one each for ABC, AMC and Fox Sunday night’s ceremony took place at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles and was simulcast live on TBS and TNT.
HBO’s “John Adams” claimed the prize for lead actor in a TV movie or miniseries categories. Laura Linney and an absent Paul Giamatti took honors.
During a night where SAG’s internal conflict and its ongoing contract negotiations with the Alliance of Motion Picture an Television Producers loomed in the air, actors in attendance kept controversial remarks to a minimum.
SAG National President Alan Rosenberg spoke during the ceremony, nodding to the actors and the other unions in the industry as expected. He didn’t make any mention of a potential strike.
Ms. Field took a moment to reflect on her family’s history with the Guild.
“I grew up in a working acting family,” Ms. Field said. “I am so proud to be an actor and so proud that my fellow actors would give me this.”
Ms. Fey thanked her daughter, who she said will one day watch her work online and ask, “What do you mean you don’t get residuals for this?”

  1. LMAO… 30 ROCK RANKED 119th ON THE NEILSON RATINGS FOR THE YEAR, TIED WITH “AMERICAS MOST WANTED” IN RATINGS, AND TINA FEY GETS AWARDS?? WHAT A JOKE… NOBODY WATCHES 30 ROCK BUT THE LIBERALS IN HOLLYwood. PATHETIC… BIG BANG and HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER BLOW 30 ROCK OUT THE WATER AND THEY NEVER GET MENTIONED… CRONYISM AT IT’S BEST…

  2. I’ll gear this review to 2 types of people: current Zune owners who are considering an upgrade, and people trying to decide between a Zune and an iPod. (There are other players worth considering out there, like the Sony Walkman X, but I hope this gives you enough info to make an informed decision of the Zune vs players other than the iPod line as well.)

  3. Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It’s very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.
