Better Late Than Never: Mark, Roll, Action

Ramsey Seikaly

Los Angeles -- The SAG Awards were one of several key guild ceremonies marking the opening of the annual award season here in movie land.  It is a safe bet to say that these overlapping pageants of the rich and famous are mostly a PR job with a smattering of merit and craft.  I believe the Academy of Motion Pictures as well as the Television Academy place more of an emphasis on the skill and craft rather than just the look and hype.  But that is my personal opinion.  You may have a differing view.  Fine.  So where are we going with this.  I came across a copy of the 2014 SAG awards in its entirety.  Most of these events tend to focus on the 10 second sound bit regurgitated by the plethora of celeb publicity vehicles like TMZ, Entertainment Tonight, Hollywood Access and a number of cable and satellite specialty programs.  But rarely do you get the full Monty.   So here then is the 2014 SAG Awards for those of you who may have missed it or just want to relieve the experience watching the rich and famous get another accolade for doing their rich and famous job.
