does anyone know when the ballots are due for the awards? i'm just wondering if the globes will have any impact on the SAG awards.

The Final ballots are not due until Friday January 23. So the Globe wins and Oscar nominations might have an impact on some voters.

According to Access Hollywood, William Shatner is to open the ceromonial champagne at SAGs.

They open the champagne on the red carpet, right?

Yes.

I'm sorry this is taking so long. I think we will know who the presenters are going to be soon.

Honestly, I don't think anyone has a clue as who is presenting at the SAG awards. I think we'll have some sort of run-down of the ceromony by maybe Saturday after all of the rehearsals have been done. At least that's what I'm hoping. We had a run-down of the show for the GGs.

Adding Christina Applegate to the list because she is listed on the SAG Awards website.

Forest Whitaker is presenting the award to James Earl Jones.

I will not be at the SAG Awards this year, so don't be expecting a rundown like last time (or like last week's Globes).

Christina Applegate, Angela Bassett, Jon Hamm, John Krasinski, Eric McCormack and Kyra Sedgwick will be presenters at the 15th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards®, executive producer and director Jeff Margolis announced today. The 2009 SAG Awards® ceremony will be simulcast live nationally on TNT and TBS on Sunday, Jan. 25, 2009 at 8 p.m. ET/PT, 7 p.m. CT and 6 p.m. MT from the Los Angeles Shrine Exposition Center. An encore presentation will air on TNT at 11 p.m. (ET/PT). For satellite and HD viewers, the live presentation can be seen on TBS and TNT at 8 p.m. (ET)/5 p.m. (PT), while the encore can be seen on TNT at 11 p.m. (ET)/8 p.m. (PT).

I know that Desperate Housewives won't win but I still love this cast regardless.

I'm pretty sure Winslet will take supporting actress, and the one winning lead actress (Hataway or more likely Streep) will become the new frontrunner for the lead Oscar.
