17th Annual SAG Awards - My Picks

One of the fun things about being in the Screen Actors Guild is getting free copies of movies and voting for the SAG Awards. I end up voting for favorites in each category hoping that they'll win. She how many of my choices will win tonight at 8pm on TNT/TBS. (NOTE - This graphic will look cut of on the post, but it was too tough to figure out how to exactly make it fit -- plus you can still see the picks on the left side)

A Great Speech
