One of the biggest reasons I like the SAG awards is it is also one of the shortest awards shows.  No technical awards just good old populist acting awards.  For me, I live in Mumbai, India and have to get up at the crack of dawn to watch them, it helps to get straight to the point.  The only thing I am disappointed in is however, the lack of recognition for Leonardo DiCaprio for either Shutter Island (a seriously under appreciated film) or Inception.  I was truly hoping for an ensemble award for the cast of Inception.  Let's hope the Oscars don't forget them.
