The “French [George] Clooney” was as charming as the genuine deal. Viola Davis was significantly less flustered than Meryl Streep is at these things. And, shock, surprise, Alec Baldwin was something but tweeting mad.
A appear at the doings and sayings backstage at the 18th Annual Screen Actors Guild:

2012 SAG Awards: Alec BaldwinNow That’s an Artist: Jean Dujardin was a dashing presence. The actor put his fingers to his ears, hummed and did a small dance as a reporter pointed out how sturdy his Oscar possibilities have been now that he’d won the SAG Award—and beaten Clooney, head to head. For excellent measure, he broke into the French national anthem.
These Items Happen When You Beat the American Clooney: At one point, Dujardin stopped himself midsentence, and known as himself out for staying “boring,” which he wasn’t staying at all. “I am sorry,” he apologized, “I’m above the moon.”
But Other Than That… Dujardin, in a unusual second of semi-seriousness, did offer you what it’s like to be in the Oscar race (and have the hopes of your nation on you, as well): “Strain. Big strain.”
And That Would Be Why the Film Did not Win Best Cast: Mentioned Dujardin of The Artist, “The star of the film is the film.”
And That Would Be Why the Film Most likely Will Even now Win Very best Picture: Mentioned Dujardin of The Artist: “There is a cute canine, and everyone enjoy cute canines.”

And, No, She Did not Assume of Herself as Having Beaten The Iron Lady: “I kind of experience that I bought some time right up until I suck the following time.” —The Assist‘s Viola Davis, on trying to keep her head on straight after obtaining beaten Meryl Streep.
Thankfully, She’s Got Time to Operate Out the Kinks for Oscar Evening: Davis was a composed, emphatic presence. The only factors that threw her (other than the unavoidable Oscar talk) had been “those damn bracelets”—they slipped off her wrist, and and fell to the floor, and possibly not for the initial time tonight, judging by her exasperation.
So to Recap: Davis and Dujardin each appeared a tad unnerved at how close they are now Oscars, and, offered the SAG Awards’ current historical past, they are quite close.
Very best Line of the Evening: Baldwin, not in a rant mode at all, reported that, yes, he does nonetheless perform Words With Close friends. “But now on Virgin Atlantic,” the noted American Airlines critic mentioned.
Yes, He Was in a Really Good Mood: A playful Baldwin walked on and off and back on the press-conference stage just to milk applause from prepared reporters.
Like a Genuinely, Actually Excellent Mood: You know how it looks, pretty or unfairly, that Baldwin’s constantly one stray tweet away from quitting acting, bolting from 30 Rock or carrying out each at when? Not tonight. “I want season seven truly badly,” he mentioned of the ratings-challenged sitcom. “I want us to come back.”

That Thing’s Gotta Be the Heaviest Actor in Hollywood: So, the initial point the 82-year-old Christopher Plummer did back here was put his award down—and not because he’s 82 a long time outdated, but since almost everyone does that, proper ahead of they complain about heavy it is. (It, the award, even has its personal podium, right next to the press-conference mic.)
Just Like She’s Got a Very good Hold on the Oscar Race: The Support‘s Octavia Spencer did not put her Actor down. At least not for a although. She had a excellent hold on that issue.
Um, Truly, It Kinda Is a Foregone Conclusion: Spencer on her Finest Supporting Actress Oscar odds: “It really is not a foregone conclusion simply because I won this, I’m going to win that.”
Oh, That: In his acceptance speech, Plummer name-checked his wife, thanking her for saving his lifestyle. Backstage, he was asked if he could describe what she saved him from specifically. “Yes,” the Newcomers star replied. “I was a terrible drunk.”

We Sincerely Hope Not: “I can not speak about that,” Plummer explained when pushed to, nicely, talk about his Oscar chances. “It is miles down the road. It really is at least three months, isn’t it?”
Reality Test: No matter what he says, or graciously would not say, the now-SAG-ratified Plummer is the Very best Supporting Actor front-runner—by a lot.
Why It Sticks to Be an Actress, as Opposed to an Actor: You are Jessica Lange. You’re Jessica Freakin’ Lange. You’re a two-time Oscar winner, a winner for the 2nd time in as many weeks for American Horror Story, and you get asked, “What’s your to-do list [for acquiring dressed for a display?]” (And, no, no person asked Baldwin what his to-do list was.)
But, Yes, Lange Did Search Fantastic: Effectively, she did.
As It Must Be: As they were on stage, the Modern Household kids had been in the forefront backstage, too. (The display has won so many times, at so numerous awards shows, the cast has had a lot of practice at getting gracious.) What have they learned from their older castmates, they were asked? Reported Dunphy youngster Nolan Gould: “I discovered a great deal of curse words.”

Kids Will Be Kids Rotten to Every Other: Brady and Connor Noon, the young (truly young) twins who share the role of Michael Pitt‘s son Tommy on Boardwalk Empire, had to be separated following one particular (or the other) bopped 1 (or the other) on the head during the show’s press conference.
Existence Imitates Hardboiled Art: Stated series star (and individual SAG winner) Steve Buscemi right after the Noon incident: “Welcome to the cast of Boardwalk Empire…”
Well, the Boy Did Have a Point: Prior to the dust up, a single of the Noons got feisty with Pitt, reprimanding the actor for announcing he wished a cigarette.
His Quote’s Too Higher: So, a bomb-sniffing dog was on the job at the Shrine today—that’s not uncommon. What was unusual, per the media varieties who’d done this drill prior to, was that the red carpet and the interior of the Shrine have been cleared simultaneously, and only an hour just before the arrivals were scheduled to start. Ahead of you ask, one, there had been no indicators of any ominous goings-on and, two, the bomb-sniffing dog was not Uggie.
They Didn’t Make It, After All: Mary Tyler Moore was the talk of the night for her Lifestyle Achievement Award, but the beloved actress didn’t venture into the press-conference space. (At times, honorees do at times they don’t. And, for what it is worth, Moore did do the photo area.) We could’ve asked repeat SAG winner Betty White about her longtime costar, but, like Moore, she took a pass on the mic, also.
