Heath Ledger's Award DedicationHeath Ledger's Award Dedication

Daniel Day-Lewis won the Screen Actors Guild award for outstanding male actor in There Will Be Blood. While accepting the award, he paid tribute to Heath Ledger.

He said that Heath was “an inspiration” and “unique”. Daniel said, “Of course, in Brokeback Mountain he was unique. He was perfect. And that scene in the trailer at the end of the film was as moving as anything I’ve ever seen.”

Later, he was asked why he chose to dedicate his award to Heath. Daniel’s response was, “I suppose that’s all I’ve been thinking about for the last few days. I never met him. I thought he was beautiful. I just have a very strong feeling that I would have liked him very much as a man…I admired him very much.”

Lindsay’s New Lo

Lindsay Lohan has received nine nominations for her new movie in the Oscars. Great news right? Wrong. The nominations are for the year’s worst movies. The troubled actress is hotly tipped to win the Worst Actress award for her dual role in the thriller I Know Who Killed Me.

Lindsay, 21 – ordered to do community service for drink-driving – plays an abducted girl and a stripper who is missing body parts. The film is up for eight other “Razzies”, including Worst Picture.

Awards founder John Wilson said: “I Know Who Killed Me is the most fabulously brainless movie since Showgirls, which Razzie voters picked as the worst movie of the 1990s.“By the end of it, you still don’t know what happened.”

Grammy’s Picket

The Writers Guild has already taken the Golden Globes away from us but now, they are looking to take away the Grammy’s too. How is the music business hurting the striking writers?! The ceremony may be airing on CBS and the network is part of the big media that is refusing to negotiate with the writes but the WGA already said that it would refuse to grant the Grammy’s a waiver that would allow them to use WGA members to write the show.

It’s not yet clear how much of an impact a WGA picket line would have on the awards show but the ceremony will have to make do without the usual 10-20 actors who usually serve as presenters.
