Wirthy over at Drunk and Crippled has a great post re-capping the SAG Awards. It was written especially for people like me: the ones who don’t give a rats ass about the awards, but would never pass up a good chance to make fun of celebrities.

I can’t stomach awards shows. I know many people love them and that’s cool, but I don’t understand the appeal. I haven’t watched one since 2000 when I tuned in especially to see Robin Williams perform the song Blame Canada from the South Park movie (click for video).

I can’t even watch an awards show that is hosted by sexy, sexy Jon Stewart. To see stars falling all over themselves, patting each other on the back for doing a job they get paid very well to do… ugh, it just reeks of conceit.

Here’s an example (from Carpetbagger). Josh Brolin, upon accepting his award, said: “I’m taking my time, man. This is my fricking moment,” never mind that he was accepting an ensemble award.

Josh Brolin, newly-won ensemble SAG award in hand, assaults some unimportant actress from said ensemble that had the nerve to try and steal his fricking moment.

So Wirthy, I admire you for sitting through a whole evening of the SAG Awards, armed with nothing but a single-serving bottle of champagne, so that you could bring us a funny post. You took one for the team!

(I thought EVERY bottle of champagne was single-serve.)
