SAG Award Nominees Announced!
The Screen Actors Guild Awards nominations were announced today, and as always, I loved seeing more leading indicators for the Oscars and the fun "best performance by a cast" nominees. I'm glad to see Abigail Breslin and Alan Arkin up for "Little Miss Sunshine," but can we please stop nominating Megan Mullally for "Will & Grace" now?
The 13th Annual awards will air live on TNT and TBS on Sunday, January 28.
Golden Globe Nominations Breakdown: TV
Sure, everyone talks about the Golden Globe nominations as Oscar predictors, but they're also a great barometer for the fall TV season, giving us an early look at which shows critics think deserve recognition — and which are tanking. This year, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association gave props to a few new shows and a few old favorites but skipped over a few that I thought were sure bets. Here is BuzzSugar's breakdown of the Golden Globe nominations for TV.
Golden Globe Nominations Announced!
Jessica Biel, Rosario Dawson, and Matthew Perry showed up bright and early to announce the 2006 Golden Globe nominations, and the list is definitely a mix of huge surprises, obvious names, and puzzling choices.

Buzz Interview With the Cast of Precious, Part 3: Gabourey Sidibe
Precious begins rolling out in theaters this Friday, and we'll finally see if it lives up to its Oscar hype. One performance that the Academy will definitely be talking about comes from newcomer Gabby Sidibe, who carries the film as the title character.
Playing an abused, pregnant teen is the sort of responsibility and heavy subject matter that could make even pros crack under pressure — so how is she coping with her big screen debut?

Movie Preview: Matt Damon and Morgan Freeman in Invictus
Hope you haven't OD'd on Matt Damon yet! Just yesterday I showed you a preview of his upcoming Jason Bourne-esque action flick, Green Zone and today we get a peek at Invictus. In the upcoming film from Clint Eastwood, Damon stars as a Francois Pienaar, real-life member of South Africa's rugby team who's summoned by Nelson Mandela (Morgan Freeman) to rally support in the country and unite the racial divide.
Ricky Gervais Is Hosting the Golden Globes — Are You Excited?
Ricky Gervais has stolen the show at the last two Emmy Awards, hamming it up and taking no prisoners during his brief stints on stage. The big laughs haven't gone unnoticed, and Gervais is slated to host the upcoming Golden Globe Awards in January.
The show hasn't had a host since 1995 (!) and I can't wait to see Gervais get an even bigger platform to showcase that signature quick wit.
What to Download: New Music Today
It's one of my favorite days of the week: Tuesday! Which means I get to add DVDs to my Netflix queue, along with some brand new tunes for my iPod. So check out today's music releases for what you should download.
Movie Preview: Broken Embraces
Broken Embraces looks like classic Pedro Almodovar: a sweeping story with a heavy dose of film noir, beautiful to look at, and a dazzling Penelope Cruz. There's a reason the director and his muse always work together — he brings out her strongest performances; she serves as a captivating leading lady. (She even got an Academy Award nomination for his film Volver.)
If the trailer for Broken Embraces is any indication, Cruz may just have critics whispering Oscar again.
What to Netflix: New DVD Tuesday
All of the new DVD releases hit stores (and Netflix) on Tuesdays. So each week in What to Netflix: New DVD Tuesday, I sort through the best of the batch and tell you what to add to your queue. Oh and even though it's not on Netflix, don't forget that Ally McBeal: The Complete Series is finally available on DVD today!
