The 14th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards Nominations were announced early Thursday morning, and there are a load of good movies on it, many of which I haven't seen yet.

But I plan to!

If you haven't seen "Juno" yet I recommend that you do so the first chance you get. It's a great film that definitely lives up to all the hype that it's been getting. In fact, I've got the box office numbers to show that "Juno" is actually on pace to do much, much better than "Little Miss Sunshine" did last year. Fox Searchlight

The movie starts as a fast paced comedy with an agile editing to turn later into a spiritual reflection about our power over the reality that surrounds us. This, and some ups and brief boring downs, might dishearten some, and even offend other, but if you are ready to take the bait, it will also fish you, y

In Hollywood we're used to seeing stars go to great lengths to deny parenting a child until DNA tests are ordered. Or until the kid comes out with the exact same hair color and features as the mom's suspected lover (Hello, Prince Harry.)

Tina Fey comes off as so absolutely down-to-earth and normal that I've been waiting for some freaky secrets to come out about her. Like maybe she brews batches of meth in her coffeepot, or forbids all of her co-stars on 30 Rock from making eye contact with her unless they spank her first.
