We love the Screen Actors Guild Awards because, unlike other award shows, Hollywood’s peers (aka the SAG-AFTRA folks) have the power. The SAGs are a good time with superlatives. The air is lighter, the jokes are on your favorite celebrity’s favorite celebrity, and, by the looks of it, the drinks are always on-pour. More importantly, the SAGs are usually a strong indicator of what to expect on Oscars night. We tune in for the laughs and to feast on looks served on the red carpet.
