Ok, this is a total shock. At the Screen Actors Guild awards last night, Johnny Depp beat out Sean Penn to take the Best Actor award. I’m not saying this is undeserved, but I’m stunned. I can’t believe the Guild gave the award to an actor who played in a light adventure/comedy. Congtrats to Depp! Does this mean we should take him more seriously as a possible winner next Sunday at the Oscars?
Other winners were Charlize Theron (best actress) for Monster, Tim Robbins (supporting actor) for Mystic River, and Renee Zellweger (supporting actress) for Cold Mountain.
The SAG’s equivalent to “Best Picture” is the award to best ensemble cast. That award (surprise surprise) went to Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King.
