Screen Actors Guild AwardsThanks to the cancelation of the Golden Globes ceremony, the hottest ticket in town was tonight’s .  Without a picket line to cross, celebrities from TV and Film were allowed to celebrate - and commiserate - together for the first time in a long while.

For star-deprived fans, the SAG red carpet was also a treat for sore eyes.  What were our favorite actresses wearing?  What were the latest trends?  Which dresses were going to be copied by Allen Schwartz tomorrow?

Unfortunately, the evening was not all about partying.  The recent deaths of and Heath Ledger cast a somber tone on what would normally be a festive occasion.  Thankfully, tonight was not about dissecting their lives, but merely about honoring them.

Meanwhile, the neglected winners of this month’s Globes were also hoping to get a share of the honors.  If they were able to pull off another victory tonight, maybe they would have a chance to give the speech they already had written.

Well, without further ado, here’s the play-by-play of tonight’s events coming to you from the fashionably late West Coast!

‘Tin Man’: SciFi Channel Meets ‘Wizard of Oz’

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Mini Series, Sci-Fi/Horror, Cable

Tin ManI was probably five years old the first time I watched , under the assurances from my grandmother that I was sure to love the movie. Unfortunately, I was so completely terrified by the Wicked Witch of the West that I didn’t make it to the end of the yellow brick road until I was closer to the age of ten. But in the end, she was right. Besides achieving acclaim and immortality as one of the greatest American film classics of all time, The Wizard of Oz has also been heralded as the only true fairy tale to come from the U.S. From the moment -as-Dorothy Gale opens that black-and-white door to reveal a world filled with color, there is no question that viewers are about to be treated to a fantastical delight. That element of fantasy is exactly what the hopes to capture with .

(whose little sister is the star of FOX’s Bones) will play a more rebellious, modern-day Dorothy, this time with a motorcycle and a new moniker (DG). Like the famed movie itself, the is based on the L. Frank Baum novel. Basically, it’s a tale about growing up…and staying young at heart. The SciFi version, in keeping with the network, will be darker, more intense, and contain an element of the extraordinary.

Andromeda Strain reborn as USA miniseries

Posted by Shannon Bennett Categories: Drama, Mini Series, Cable

Andromeda StrainI’m going to be honest, I’m not surprised that someone is re-doing Michael Crichton’s The Andromeda Strain.  After all, since there’s a new pod person movie on the loose, films made (and remade) in the 70’s are now fair game for re-adapting.  Andromeda is being packaged out in a neat television mini series for USA with a cast headed up by Benjamin Bratt, who will play the formidable Dr. Jeremy Stone.

This role will be a step away from Bratt’s usual, in that he will now be playing a doctor instead of a cop.  I can’t help but wonder though, since it was constant in Law and Order, Miss Congeniality, and the unfortunate Catwoman - will Bratt finally get a change of costume?
