SAG AWARD 2011

A Screen Actors Guild Award is an accolade given by the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) to recognize outstanding performances by its members. The statuette given, representing a naked man holding both a mask of comedy and a mask of tragedy, is called "The Actor". It is 16 inches tall, weighs over 12 pounds, cast in solid bronze, and produced by the American Fine Arts Foundry in Burbank, California.

SAG Awards have been one of the major awards events in Hollywood since 1995. Nominations for the awards come from 4200 randomly selected members of the union, with the full membership (120,000 as of 2007) available to vote for the winners. The awards have been televised for the past several years on TNT, but now also airs on TBS.

WILLIE REVILLAME: One Flew Over the Coco nest?

What is really wrong with Revillame? I categorize him the prodigal son of ABS-CBN network. I used to like Willie him when he was till in ABS-CBN but lately he had this kind of madness for grandeur. Because of this madness, he was not aware that he was attacking below the belt the other personalities. Yet once rebutted by his nemesis he played an argument of pity, like what had happened between him and Joey de Leon of Eat Bulaga. . His reactions was kinda that of a bipolar depression. He gained lots of foes in ABS-CBN that lead of his downfall. It was good, TV-5 offered him a noontime show in replica to Wowowee. The question is, "how long is he gonna stay with TV-5"? He is like in the movie "One Flew Over the Coco Nest".

This time out of the blues he aired his outburst, he aired his outburst against his long time friend and ally, John Estrada and Randy Santiago for accepting to host the offer of ABS-CBN noontime show.

Here is the outburst of Willie aired at TV5. Judge what kind of a man is he.

"Bakit? May noontime show na kayo dito, inaayos ko na saka aalis kayo. ang hirap sa inyo iiwanan nyo naman ako. Iniwan nyo na ko dati. Tandaan mo 'to, hindi magri-rate yan. Tandaan mo yan. Ako nagsasabi sa 'yo."

"O ayan, sige bahala kayo! Hindi, ipaplug ko dito Eat Bulaga araw-araw. O bakit? Ito si John Estrada (telling the audience) nag-uusap na raw sila. Ano? Nandito sa studio. Sandali. Ano?

"Kasi dapat may noontime show sila rito eh. Tapos bigla na namang lilipat na lang sa Channel ano na naman. Inaayos ko na tapos eto. Nakakasama kayo ng loob. Inaayos ko na lahat tapos bigla nyo naman akong iiwan na naman."

"Ano? Hindi na 'ko pupunta sa kasal mo. Maghanap ka ng ibang Best Man. Kahit manood ka ng TV, Channel 5, baka naglipat ka na naman. Basta maghanap ka na ng ibang Best Man. Eh ikaw bahala ka. Basta ako, iniwan nyo na ko dati. Hindi na, iniwan nyo na ko dati. Pinagkaisahan nyo ko, bumalik ako sa MTB, hinanap ko pa rin kayo. Kayo pa rin ang binalik ko, alam nyo yan. Pero kung iiwan nyo ko ngayon, okay na yan. Magsulian na tayo ng kandila."

"Okay lang yan. Kung mas mahal nyo yan, na gumanyan sa 'tin, tinanggal tayo. Pag 'di kayo nag-rate, tatanggalin din kayo niyan. Maniwala kayo sa 'kin. Tama? (asking the audience)"

The audience shouted back "TAMAAAAA".

"Sinalo na tayo ng Channel 5. Eto na sumali sa 'tin eh, tatalikod pa tayo sa kanila. Tama? (asking the audience again)"

"O basta bahala ka na. Basta ako, minahal kita bilang kaibigan. Pag nag-Channel 2, nag-noontime show ka pa dyan, wala kang kaibigan na Willie. Masakit yang gagawin nyo sa 'kin dahil inayos ko na, nag-meeting na ko kagabi tungkol sa noontime show dito. Yun lang. Masama talaga loob ko. Masama ang loob ko dahil inayos ko na to kay Mr. MVP, kay Mr. Rey. Pero kung dyan kayo masaya sa nanakit sa 'kin, sa nanakit sa 'tin dati, dyan na lang kayo."

"O sige lang. Tatrabaho muna ko. Oo, okay na 'yun".

Now talking to the audience....

"Ganon lang kasimple ang buhay, dapat totoo ka.... Guest natin sila, kelan ba guest natin si John? Sabado? Di na pupunta yan. Pipigilan na yan kasi Friday yata sila magsisimula dun eh. Di ba?"

Someone from the audience shouted, "Okay lang 'yan! Dito na lang kami!"

Willie responded, "Oo kayo importante sa buhay ko".

"Di ba? Alam nyo nag-meeting na kami eh. May noontime show dapat dito, Randy, John. Sasabihin ko sana 'yung iba pang babae pero, tapos, masakit sa loob ko dahil inaayos ko na maayos sila rito. Tapos bigla silang inofferan ng Channel 2, nandun na naman sila sa Channel 2. Hay naku!"

"Eat Bulaga tayo! Eat Bulaga tayo!"

MOVIES TO WATCH SOON IN 2011

Oh yeah, it is 2011! Another set of movie trends will come in this year so buckle up and fasten your seat belts. This means that I or my netizen kids will download the up coming movies, or go to theaters or buy DVD. There are lots of movies that can put us in cliffhanger or in mundane mood.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallow Part II is the last book which is split into two movies. This will be shown July 15th, 2011. Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint will all return for one last adventure at Hogwarts.

We'll go animation. Cars 2 is an upcoming American computer-animated 3-D film. It is the sequel to the 2006 film, Cars. It is produced by Pixar Animation Studios and distributed by Walt Disney Pictures. It is currently scheduled for release in theaters in the US on June 24, 2011 and in the UK on July 22, 2011.

The film is directed by John Lasseter and co-directed by Brad Lewis. It features the voices of Owen Wilson, Larry the Cable Guy, Michael Caine and Emily Mortimer.

It will be presented in Disney Digital 3-D, IMAX 3D, RealD 3D and 2-D.

The defender of Justice. Here comes Captain America. Handsome Chris Evans will act as Captain America slated on May 6, 2011. The movie follows the adventures of a scrawny World War II soldier who is injected with the Super Soldier Formula. This gives him amazing fighting abilities, and he takes on the Germans under the identity of Captain America. Eventually frozen in a block of ice, he’s thawed out decades later and fights supervillains as a member of The Avengers.

Spider-man -4: This is tentatively scheduled on May 31st, 2011. It is not Toby Maguire who will be back on board, sadly. But let us welcome the new face of Andrew Garfield who will portray Spiderman. Those villains pestering around, watch out for Spiderman, in his new face off.
