Looks like the Screen Actors Guild Awards on Jan. 29 (on the TNT network) will shine with blinding star wattage. The presenters' list just got more glittering with these additions: Naveen Andrews, Patricia Arquette, Benjamin Bratt, Marg Helgenberger, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Ellen Pompeo and SAG President Alan Rosenberg.
They'll be joined by SAG triple nominee Felicity Huffman, Eva Longoria, Hilary Swank, David Strathairn and double nominee William Shatner, who'll be presenting for the first time. Already set to be onstage too: Jamie Lee Curtis, who will present the guild's Life Achievement Award to Shirley Temple Black.
To monitor future updates, check out the SAG website.
I agree with the comments regarding Patricia Arquette. I have been a huge fan of hers since seeing her in 1991's amazingly sensitive and realistic portayal of a deaf/epileptic teeenager in Diane Keaton's "Wildflower". Since then, Arquette has turned in intelligent, honest, and insightful performances year after year in films, and more recently each week on television in "Medium".
Let us not forget Arquette is a 5th generation actor in her family, as her great grandparents were in vaudeville. For her to be nominated it truly an honor for her, as she gushed on the "Ellen Degeneras Show" last week.
Out of all of the nominees, I believe her fellow actors will recognize her for the hard work and dedication she has, and of course for her dead-on performance in "Medium".
Miss Arquette is one great and instincual actor.
Congratulations to her also for her Emmy win, her Golden Globe nomination (Geena Davis wins for "Commander and Chief"? The Golden Globes are a popularity contest I have always thought....), and of course her SAG nomination and hopefully her win.

Patricia Arquette has been in my movie files and now in a fabulous show, has golden globe just a couple days ago, her second in a row, and now nominated for SAG award. If she doesnt get it the old cronies on the board just dont know what true television is, Patricia and Marg, good luck to you both, the others dont need mention!!
Thnx
