Awards season has kicked into high gear, with the distribution of the Screen Actor’s Guild Awards — a good yearly measuring stick for Oscar hopefuls.
Bingo!
In that case, the cast of Inglourious Basterds has a lot to be hopeful for. The film picked up Best Cast, and Best Supporting Actor went to the untouchable Christoph Waltz — who’s much a shoe-in for the Oscar as anyone in recent memory.
[Unrelated Aside: I've finally added the words "inglourious" and "basterds" to my damned spell-check dictionary. Tarantino: teaching poor history and bad spelling]
Other winners were Mo’Nique in Precious, Jeff Bridges in Crazy Heart, and workhorse Sandra Bullock in The Proposal, All About Steve, The Blind Side. Blind Side, Blind Squirrel. Enjoy your nut.

“and the oscar goes to Sandra Bullock”…
wouldn’t that suck ?
I’m not saying Bullock should never win but there’s bound to be a better performance in her category, in this case Mulligan, even if I thought “An Education” sucked (where’s her post Sundance love ?!).
I remember how Brody won for the Pianist after losing lots of precursor awards so maybe she’ll win, who knows…
