    ah eva longoria has a nice dress
    first!

  2. DADIRAI

    everyone is looking beautiful is angelina pregnant ?

  3. cookaloo

    Ruby Dee is the epitome of class – hopefully some of the young actors and other blacks in the media can learn this from her.

  4. ms meana

    they all look good. America Ferrera is pretty!!!

  5. BOOOOOOOOO!!!!

    not a good look Chandra and please make them give you a new hairdo next season on Grey’s, ok.

  6. irrational rationalist

    damnnnnn luda could get the bizness!…and everyone looks very very nice

  7. Vida

    Keyshia Whitaker looked amazing. That pink looked SO nice on her. All night I was making my boyfriend look at her, and the dress.

    Vanessa looked good in the yellow.

    America Ferrera looked so nice. A far cry from betty la fea

  8. GET IT TOGETHER

    Angelina and Brad….

    although their public appearances may sicken you, there just one of the most lovely and honest couple around. She’s also just oozing with the “I’m pregnant” glow.

    America Ferrera appears to be losing one pound or two every time I see her.

  9. Kisha

    I LOVE Taraji. Very classy and great actress!!

  10. HUSTLERS-HONEY

    every1 looks nice but im lovin eva’s dress

  11. Have Not Thought of a New User Name

    Ludacris be everywhere lol

    Awards shows have been boring lately that’s why I don’t even bother watching.

  12. SoGood

    Brad Pitt is not looking good to me anymore. At one time I thought he was so sexy but now lately he just look blah.

  13. OG_Sweetz

    Everybody looks nice, but Chandra looks a lil uncomfortable.

  14. WHYASKWHY

    Chandra Wilson’s makeup is flawless!!!

  15. MAI03

    America Ferrera’s dress is smoking hot!!!!!!! She looks beautiful!

    Congrats to Ruby Dee, she is a true class act.

    But, I must say this, I feel that the Emmy’s, Golden Globes and Sag’s are really sleeping on Tichinia Arnold. She is a brilliant comedic actress, she was hilarious on Martin as well as Everybody Hates Chis. She is just as funny if not more than Tina Fey, Mary Louise Parker and especially Christinia Applegate whose show really isnt funny at all. There were so many performances from people of color that was overlooked this year as well as years before, and it pisses me off. Martin was another show that was over-looked so many time s at the Emmy’s Sags, Golden Globes. Does The Wire ever get nominated for anything? The Soprano’s isnt the only show on HBO you know–sheesh!

    Anyways–congrats again to Miss Ruby Dee. Well deserved.

  16. kennedi

    Everybody looks pretty good….except Chandra and that dress. UGH!

    I want somebody to help Taraji do something about them eyes….they always look old and tired.

  17. Stacy H

    I was happy for Ruby Dee. she deserved the win. I need to make a point to watch all of the nominated films to make a more objective decision about who should have won, but because Ms. Dee has been in the biz for years and overlooked several times, she deserves it!

  18. Stacy H

    All Angelina and Brad know how to do is make or adopt babies….hehehehehe

  19. La'shonda

    BLACK PEOPLE ARE BEAUTIFUL!

    Vanessa Williams is stunning

    Chandra looks great

    America looks gorgeous

    Ludacris has grown to be so handsome & I love his grown sexy

    Forrest and his lady show true black love.

    their beauty has literally brought me to tears

  20. NailCandy

    i love Vanessa’s dress!!!!!!!!!!!

  21. Kim

    Is that leather? Uh Vanessa Williams needs to sit down with that bumble bee looking monstrosity.

  22. My screen (or my eyes) is playing tricks on me.

    Before blowing up the pics, I thought:

    Eva was Jurnee or Nicole Murphy
    Tichina was Kelly Rowland
    Chandra was a linebacker in drag
    Forest was (yall don’t ban me from the loop – im going to get me some new glasses i promise) Brian McKnight
    Tarajii was one of the Simmons sisters

    Real talk

    But why is Luda still hanging around awards shows….is he still looking for something from Crash or Hustle and Flow? I’m just sayin’.

  23. I watched the show & it was actually a gem to watch. Everybody looked AMAZING, I didn’t see any reason fo the fashion police to be called at all lol. Actually I was in tears when Mickey Rooney came up at age 87 WITH NO CANE, NO WALKER, NO NOTHING & the audience came him a standing ovation & he started CRYING & I just starting bawling. It was also sad when “There Will Be Blood’s” (YES, I did see it & YES, I loved it!) Phenomenal actor Daniel Day-Lewis dedicated his stellar performances to the late Great Heath Ledger, there was hardly a dry eye in the house after that. I love the SAG awards because its from actors to actors & to me that makes is so much more real. I have seen all the movies for best cast & found something I loved about everyone & sometimes with the Oscars its difficult to say that.

  24. @Back DDS, Luda has a SAG card from his Crash days so he should be invited especially since his last two films did awesome at the box office (well in terms of films that are made my more independent studios anyway)

  25. DATDCDOPEBOI

    THEY ALL LOOK GREAT!

    ITS FUNNY THOUGHT BECAUSE I WENT ON PEOPLE.COM AND THEY DIDNT EVEN SHOW ALL THE BLACK ACTORS AND THEY COMMENDED EVERYONE FOR WINNING AN AWARD EXCEPT RUBY DEE AND QUEEN LATIFAH…HMMM *IM JUST SAYIN*

  26. Vee1

    Chandra Wilson looks great.

    Not feeling Eva Longoria-Parkers dress, maybe because I don’t care for her.

    Tichina Arnold looks nice. I love here dress.

    I love me some Ugly Betty, and America Fererra looks good.

    Vanessa Williams looks good and tone for her age, but for some reason not feeling the dress.

  27. Vee1

    Oh, my bad for forgetting Ruby Dee. She looks gorgeous and not a day over 60.

  28. Yes, Queen Latifah DID indeed win for Life Support. If you have not seen it I believe it is on DVD I suggest you pick it up because she acted her a$$ off!!! But I was PISSED because she was NOT even there!!!! WTF how you going to be nominated for an award at a major awards show & NOT even be there??? I don’t care if I am shooting a film or not an Actor or SAG award is a BIG DEAL so they would need to let me take 2 days off my shooting schedule so I could be present, JUST IN CASE. She won & for some reason they expected her to be there because everyone was looking around all STUNNED when they realised she wasn’t lol!!

  29. Ashley

    I watched the Sag awards last night and enjoyed it. I was so happy when Ruby Dee won because I just knew that Cate Blanchett was going to win for “I’m not there”. I thought Ruby looked great and her speech was so eloquent. I felt so bad for Queen Latifah not being there to accept her award also. Since she couldn’t accept her Golden Globe due to the strike.

  30. ashleigh

    taraji looks GORGE

    andall i have to say is VANESSA WILLIAMS…___________________________

    you guys can fill in the blank cause she looks too hot for words GO MAMI

  31. MISSISSIPPI G_DDAMN

    Responding to an earlier mention about THE WIRE, it’s undoubtedly one of best shows ever. Always the brilliant “wallflower” show that although it has a small, but fiercely loyal following amongst critics and viewers, it’s continuously ignored by Emmy and SAG awards. Much like The Simpsons, and Rosanne in the 90′s, the show turns off voters because of it hits too close to home; The Simpsons for subversive humor, Rosanne for it’s unapologetic and realistic portraying the white blue collar family and The Wire for just seeming to be too damn REAL period!

    Still in all, I’m gonna miss it when it’s gone, and it DAMN sure should have taken best ensemble drama cast from The Sopranos HANDS DOWN!! Every lead and supporting player is dead on, and compels a story arc of their own, from Omar to Stringer to Avon to Bunk to Greggs to Herc to Prez to Bubbles to Bodie to Snoop to Marlo to McNulty to Prop Joe………

    But then again, I like the fact that there only are a few of us who watch it faithfully and can discuss it at length. Once a show gets too popular, it loses it’s appeal, in a way.

  32. that girl

    to #21: my screen must be a little off, too, because before i clicked i thought for sure that eva longoria was jurnee smollett and that taraji henson was either angela or vanessa simmons. you are so on your own with the forrest whittaker-brian mcknight mistake!

  33. Chandra Wilson looks like a linebacker on steroids with that dress on! She looks horrid,

  34. Monique_RealTalk

    I love Chandra Wilson. She is one of my favorite actresses. She looks so cute!! Vanessa betta work it!!! She still has it, amazing! I love my other Grey’s actresses, should’ve posted their pictures too.

  35. Trini_Locs

    Rubt Dee is a classic Hollywood talent!

    Vanessa Williams looks flawless in yellow…

    Brad and Angie look so in love..

    Ludi cleans up nice….

    Forest looks healthier after dropping that extra weight.

    Chandra looks like her stylist stuffed her into that dress!

  36. DAPHNEYVETTE

    OK – Ruby Dee! What can you say about black royalty. She is flawless and timeless. I love and respect her. Too bad Ossie is gone, but never forgotten. I’m sure he is looking down on her smiling.

    Now for the rest…..

    I am not a fan of Eva Longoria-Parker, she is so overated and she looks like a little 8th grader trying too hard to be a grown-up. But, I love her dress.

    Brad and Angelina I don’t respect because they started messing around while he was still in a MARRIAGE to Jennifer Anniston and they lied and denied it every chance they got. She is creepy to me and I can’t get images of her and BillyBob outta my head when they were kissing and making out on the red carpet. Brad used to be a cutie for a yt boy but now….

    Forrest and Keisha look nice, but not together. He has a look on his face like ‘can u really beleive I bagged her fine ass’ and ‘yes I pay for these expensive ass dresses she only wears once, she need a job’. And she looks like she is either ready to pass gas or just did. Maybe that’s the look on his face, like her shit stank!

    Luda is just fine. Does he have a date? He is always alone, what’s up with that?

    America lost lots of weight. She let Hollyweird get to her. She used to look really nice heavier and she still does, I just thought I read that she was not gonna slim down just to be famous. Oh well, whatever.

    Chandra just looks AWFUL. Sorry, but her dress, makeup, the pose, hair, e’rythang is off. She looks like she stuffed herself into that dress. I mean just slid rite into it after she bathed in oil. I just don’t like the entire ensomb!

    Vanessa needs a man. After Rick left her for yt she just looks blah…I don’t know, but she just don’t look the same.

    Tichina looks nice. She has come a long since Martin….she looks really really nice and elegant…big points.

  37. Meat

    Small purses, clutches and bags make big women look…ahhh…bigger!

    Keep holding yo head up Venessa!

    Keisha Whitaker looks “model thin”! Is her career on hold??

    CL has molded Tichina Arnold into a high fashion diva!

    Black people lag in the SAGs!

  38. aww congrats to both ruby dee and queen latifah. they are beautiful and talented women and i’m happy they were both recognized last night. ruby looks gorgeous.

    america looks sooooooo goddamn GORGEOUS. the dress choice is exquisite, her hair and makeup is perfect, and she just looks so confident and beautiful….i’m soooo happy for her :)
    Go Latinas ;)

    vanessa looks great, i dunno about that dress on chandra. eva looks cutee,. forest and his wife look ike they should be in a magazine for well dressed beautiful rich people..lol kinda like this blogg haha

    brad and angelina! my favorite couple hahah brad…i will forever be yours ;-) angelina could be pregnant in that tent she’s wearing. she’s still beautiful but i don’t like brown very much..

  39. Keep hustllllliiiinnnnn, keep flooooooooowin’..That song popped in my head when i seen Taraji…I really like her…She sends a very positive aura/vibe…With some celebrities, you can tell when they are starting to feel themself but i don’t see Taraji like that…She has made some good movies and she still seems very down to earth, approachable, and not cocky like some…She is definetly someone i can see myself being around and being cool with…

  40. SweetThang729

    Taraji got a stylist!!!! Chandra looks good minus the wig…and Vanessa is smoking!!!!!

  41. cherry

    Everyone looked absolutely gorgeous!!!…Especially America Ferrera and Taraji Henson, they got my vote!!!

  42. MissyKing

    #1, Angelina looks preggers to me too…

  43. Toed_Up!

    Jesus, I will be so glad when pantyhose are again worn with formal dressing. The women absolutely floor me wearing gorgeous gowns expensive gowns (even if on lone) and you pan down and see ashy, rusty toes! It so takes away from the look. I’m just saying . . . at least have the dress long enough to cover the feet. The feat

  44. @#21, i agree with a couple of those…At first glance w/o blowing up the picture, Eva does look like Jurnee and Forrest Whitaker (sqirms in embarrassment for thinking this): CARL THOMAS.Lol…I think it’s the ears AND i have in my contacts so don’t feel bad…

  45. MISSISSIPPI G_DDAMN

    Some of the ladies have definitely stepped up their game. Tichina looks like an elegant “lady who lunches” lol. That’s a good look, ma.

    Same for Taraji. Class can be a learned thing.

    Ruby Dee: That award is wayyy overdue. Rent the first Raisin In The Sun or Porgy and Bess or Do The Right Thing for clarification, thank you.

    Chandra looks a little like a sausage meat stuffed into the casing. Sorry, but that’s the truth, Ruth.

  46. Renee

    Tichina looks Great and I love Mr. Brad Pitt.

  47. LuvsIt

    I thought the same thing about Eva #21!

    Vanessa is STUNNING! She’s awesome on Ugly Betty and should have won!

  48. Day-Day-DC

    Damn Vanessa ..stuck on it!!!! Baddest bitch eva in her prime

  49. lilblackfan

    omfgoodness!
    i love everyone’s dresses. everyone looks nice. even chandra!
    :D

  50. LaLa

    RUBY DEE LOOKS BEAUTIFUL!!! SHE DESERVED HER AWARD!!! I HOPE SHE WINS AN OSCAR THIS YEAR TOO!!!

  51. TEEisTHE1

    America has a 10 million dollar smile, literally. Her smiled got insured for 10 million.
    Damn!

  52. Everyone looks great! Vanessa is so gorgeous…she gets better with time and Ruby Dee looks wonderful.

    And to #1 supposedly Angelina is pregnant with twins…keep in mind I said supposedly.

  53. Sayanything

    #15 MAI03

    ——-Everything you said is so true!! I started watching the SAG awards last night and after once again James Gandolfini won for the Sopranos I thought about how the Wire is AGAIN overlooked and I TURNED the show off !! I am always in disbelief at how award shows such as SAG and the Emmys can overlook a PHENOMENAL show such as the Wire. Also Tichina is THAT chick! She is a wonderful actress and looks beuatiful here! She is definitely on the come up. She has what looks to be a great role in “The Lena Baker Story” .

    I think everyone here looks great! America simply radiates in that dress!! Vanessa is timeless, Ruby Dee is beautiful and a legend! The Whitakers seem like a strong couple–Taraji-huh girlfriend, What costume shop did you dig that dres up from?

  54. Leonna

    Yay, Ruby Dee! What a classy lady. Vanessa and America look great. I like Tichina’s hair like that too. Not really feeling what Chandra has going on there. Brad…shave, please. Angelina is pregnant as hell, she’s not even hiding or denying that! Already know that kid (or kids, if she’s really having twins) are gonna be so pretty.

  55. MO

    Congratulations to Ruby Dee. I remember going to hear her and Ossie speak when I was in high school. I have always had a lot of admiration for them. I also thought she was very convincing in American Gangster.

  56. I love the dresses on the ladies. I think Keisha Whitaker is a little too skinny. Everyone looks really nice. I would have loved to see Will and Jada. (only because her dresses are always fierce)

  57. Bigma

    RUBY DEE deserved this award it is about time!! im really happy and proud of her also QUEEN LATIFAH the SISTA’s is working it out!!

    KEYSHIA & FOREST- I LOVE THIS COUPLE keyshia is so beautiful and they really looked nice…

    CHANDRA WILSON- was WORKING that hair cutt & outfit and SHOES okay…. two snaps and 3 twist I LOVE HER!!
