SAG Awards Wrap Up

And so we have the 20th annual Screen Actors Guild Awards under our belts. The full list of winners is below, but first, of course, is the fashion.
First up, Metallica. Or, rather, a group of ladies who wore metallic and looked great. From left, we have Breaking Bad's Anna Gunn in Monique Lhuiller, Game of Thrones's Emilia Clarke, and Downton Abbey's Laura Carmichael in Vionnet. Below, we have the Osage ladies, who were, um, OK, but maybe they should have come to the big city for their dresses. Abigail Breslin, in Chagoury, looks too mature for her young age, while co-star Juliette Lewis (who always cracks me up, whether or not she means to) looks exactly like Juliette Lewis in Vivienne Westwood. Meanwhile, Meryl Streep just looks poor. That is, she looks like she couldn't afford to pay designer Stella McCartney to finish the dress. Such a shame.
Now we come to three who came so close to being my best dressed picks. First is American Hustle's Amy Adams in Antonio Baradi. I love, love, love her dress. The cobalt blue color is fantastic on her. The cut - especially the shoulder paired with the contrasting neckline. The jeweled waistband. It all works. The only element keeping her from being my definitive pick for best dressed is her hair. Had the curl been kept to one side, I'd say she looked perfect. But the big curl up on both sides looks a little awkward, and so she remains an honorable mention. Also not too shabby is Adams's co-star, Jennifer Lawrence, stunning in a 70s-inspired Dior sequin gown. She looks glamorous and unstoppable. Finally we have the young TV star, Modern Family's Sarah Hyland in Pamella Roland. Hyland remains fresh with the color of the dress, its hem and her natural make up, all the while looking glamorous and like the veritable TV star she is. Plus, she looks age-appropriate. Bravo, Ms. Hyland.
If those ladies were almost the best, then we have to talk about the worst. I'm sorry to say that my picks for worst dressed at the SAG Awards goes to Cate Blanchett (Blue Jasmine) in Givenchy and Kerry Washington in Prada. Here's the thing. Both of them usually look flawless. This means they know fashion (or their stylists do) and they know what works for them and what's in. These looks didn't display any of that. Blanchett's pink frock was pretty, but it made the thin actress look pregnant. Meanwhile, the actually pregnant Washington took a risk and wore a crop top and a skirt. Something about this just doesn't work. The crop top looks unfinished. Maybe that's all it is. Whatever it is, the Scandal star did not come out on top.

And now, the winners!

And those are the SAG Award awards.
(By the way, The Wolf of Wall Street was left out because Martin Scorsese and the studio couldn't deliver screeners to nominators in time. This is important to note because SAG nominations are usually a good indicator of Oscar acting nominations and votes, since it's much the same voting bloc.)
