Guess what happens Sunday? The SAG awards — or, as I like to think of them, Hollywood’s most self-congratulatory night! ACTORS AWARDING OTHER ACTORS. Is there any other event more likely to devolve into a chorus of ME ME ME ME MEEEEE? Aw, we kid because we love. Kinda. Regardless, we will be live-blogging the arrivals HERE at GFY on Sunday, beginning at 3pm P/6pm E. Come on by and snark it up with us. Until then:
