SAG did the right thing
Ruby Dee should've won for "Do the Right Thing." We don't remember who was nominated and who won that year. (Hey, that would require some research, and we consider ourselves ahead of the game right now that we can continue typing in this deep freeze press room -- now with lights!).
So she won tonight for "American Gangster." She was awesome, yes, and she made the absolute most out of that small amount of screen time. And she thanked her late much-beloved husband, Ossie Davis, so it's all good. Portending Oscar? Could be.
Mmmmm, chocolate Oscar. Not every star will walk away from the 81st annual Academy Awards with a trophy, but if they hit the high-profile Governor's Ball they can have pastry chef Sherry Yard's gold-dusted candy version. Also on the menu from celeb chef Wolfgang Puck is tuna tartare in sesame miso cones, chopped Chino Farms vegetable salad with ginger soy vinaigrette, Maine lobster and caviar. Serve it up!

It doesn't require research to find out who won a SAG Award in 1989, the year DO THE RIGHT THING was released. These were the 14th annual SAG Awards. Do the math.
