SAG Nominations are In!

THIS JUST IN: Screen Actors Guild nominations!  It may be getting cold outside and the weather people were predicting a nor’easter for Boston on Sunday but Hollywood is heating up!  I have come to enjoy this time of year, I think, in the way baseball aficionados enjoy the playoffs and the World Series, the die-hard Pats fans turn out to tailgate and watch the Patriots play the post-season, whatever it is the fans do to incite the Celtics to do what eventually earns them yet another banner in the Boston Garden.  Without further comment, here is the list of movie nominations.  (Oh, wait, one comment:  Winter’s Bone received TWO well earned nominations!  Yes, I’m about to write my review.)
