Oscar preview
More foreshadowing of Oscar: Daniel Day-Lewis won best actor just now for his spellbinding work in "There Will Be Blood," his second such SAG award (the other for "Gangs of New York").
The second mention (and the first intelligent and insightful) of the night of Heath Ledger -- Day-Lewis paid tribute to Ledger's "unique" and "perfect" work in "Monster's Ball" and "Brokeback Mountain." And he dedicated his award to Ledger. Class all the way.
And Julie Christie won for her heartbreaking performance in "Away From Her," from bright new auteur Sarah Polley. Looking more radiant than women decades her junior, Christie talked about her reluctance to do the awards show circuit and apologized for forgetting anyone, "but that's because I'm still in character." Class squared.
Best film -- "No Country for Old Men." Need we say more? Just this -- get used to it.
