SAG Awards Red Carpet Grades

Wow! We haven't done these in a while. I skipped doing the Globes altogether. But the SAG Awards is my favorite awards show because it's only actors and the speeches tend to be funny and irreverent. Plus, the fashion is usually tons of fun. And I love the "My name is _____, and I'm an actor" intros before the show.

Anyway, we had some very good fashion for the SAGs with only a couple of misses (by two lovely women), so on to the fashion:


I thought Christina Applegate's dress was truly lovely. Gorgeous color, fitted perfectly, showing the appropriate amount of skin and just beautiful.
Grade: A

I find Diane Kruger to be very hit or miss. Besides the fact that she does have delicious arm candy (Joshua Jackson), she can sometimes go a little far out. This dress is lovely. Beautifully fitted and she looks very statuesque in it. I'm not sold on the color, but think that it probably doesn't translate as well in photos as it did live.
Grade: A-

ETA! I totally forgot Christina Hendricks. This dress was actually chosen by fans. This isn't the most flattering picture of her, but she looked absolutely luscious in it.
Grade: A


Again, not completely sold on this dress. It's a little matronly to me, for someone who is as stunningly beautiful as Sandra Bullock. But I love seeing her get all the recognition for her role in The Blind Side. And I can't wait to see what she has in store for us at the Oscar's.
Grade: B


I think this dress hits Penelope Cruz funny. It's in a spot that makes her look a little squat, which she certainly is not. I like the cocktail-y feel of it, and I think the shoes are lovely. But overall, it gets a "Meh" from me.
Grade: C+

She's young, and she has a glorious body, but I just don't understand why Anna Pacquin is constantly in the plunging necklines. This one in particular left me a bit cold. The shoes are fantastic with the dress. But again, I dunno, I just, didn't love it.
Grade: C+

I think this dress is risky. The fabric is such that every bump and nook and cranny shows. And there was a shot from behind Kate Hudson on stage where I was like, "Her ass looks kind of lumpy", which of course, it's not. I like the look of it, and I think that it's lovely, I just wish the fabric had been of a different material.
Grade: C +

I think Julianna Margulies must be kind of shocked at how well The Good Wife is being received. It's one of my favorite new shows on TV. But I'm irritated with the fact that she continues to choose dresses that do nothing to flatter her seriously bangin' bod. This dress is just wrong. Good color, wrong fabric, weird neckline = Unflattering
Grade: D+

Memo to Carey Mulligan: Contact Keira Knightly's stylist immediately. No seriously. Because even if you don't love Keira Knightly, the girl knows how to dress on a red carpet. This dress looks like she pulled the curtains down from her living room windows and attached a brooch to them. It's a very, very bad look on a tiny, waiflike girl who is definitely adorable.
Grade: D-

Oh Julie Bowen. Oh Julie. What am I going to do with you? This dress is unflattering in the extreme. Did you buy it off the rack? Is that why it's fitted so badly to your bod? Which I happen to know, having just seen you in your undies in last week's episode of Modern Family, is FANTASTIC! So, why? Why would you do this to yourself?
Grade: F

Drew Barrymore is known for doing a "look" on the red carpet. And I sort of get what she's going for here. But doesn't her dress look a bit like the rings of Saturn? And did she have sex in the limo on the way over? Why does her hair look so bad. I'm just, at a loss.
Grade: WTF?

And there you have it. My Red Carpet wrap up.

What fashions did you like from the SAG Awards? Who did I miss?

Christina A+++ I love the old-fashion movie star look of this gown, and the BACK!! OMG it's stunning in its elegant line and form

Diane Kruger - C+ strictly because here the color looks like something my dog threw up. I LOVE the over all design though. It would have been utterly fabulous in black

Christina Hendricks - D the dress looks like it's too tight around the hips and WTH is that thing on her shoulder. It's too much.

Bullock - this woman is 2Die4 Look at that silhouttee. B The top of this dress needs to be removed. Wouldn't if have been stunning as a simple strapless black evening gown???

Cruz I'm not even gonna be as nice as you D it makes her look uber short and huge in the hips.

ANNA!?!?!?! God she's grown up! The dress is horrendous. She looks like she stopped in at the Jetson's and borrow one of Judy's dresses! F

Hudson - A beautiful womand and I love the gown in this pose she looks stunning and since I didn't get the view you had, based on the picture, I'd have to say A. I love dress backs cut like this!

Margulies F I don't think I've ever seen her in anything that looks good.

Mulligan - I'm with you, it looks like she grabbed some material off the bolt at JoAnne Fabrics and is holding it together with some metal twine. F although I do like the hair Cute, spunky and it fits her face.

Bowen - OMG there are no words F

Barrymore - *banging head on desk* The woman is beautiful and here she looks like some 50s model showing off a designer's idea of what a dress in 2010 is gonna look like. Double WTF
