Corey Feldman Slams SAG Snub of Corey Haim

Corey Feldman says the omission of his friend Corey Haim from the Screen Actors Guild Awards tribute montage was an unfortunate, if not predictable, turn of events.

"We have become used to not being honored by our peers in the industry," Feldman tells PopEater. "I have faith that the Academy will make a wiser choice."

Haim and Feldman starred in several films throughout the 1980s, including 'The Lost Boys' and 'License to Drive.'

Haim died March 10 at his mother's home in Burbank, Calif. An autopsy report labeled it a "natural death" and illegal drugs were not found in his system. He was 38.

His death was a blow to Feldman, as the two were beginning to reconcile after years of on-off friendship. "This is a tragic loss of a wonderful, beautiful, tormented soul, who will always be my brother, family and best friend," he said at the time.

Months later, Feldman took a leading role in trying to dispel reports that Haim died of a drug overdose. "He was a good boy," Feldman said during a 'Today' show appearance in October. "He was taking care of his very sick mom who had cancer. He was cooking for her, cleaning for her, taking care of her on a daily basis. They found no drugs in his system."

The Screen Actors Guild moved to explain the apparent slight on Monday, telling PopEater Haim was not included in the 'In Memoriam' package that aired because of time concerns.

"This year we prepared a longer version in hopes of being able to salute more actors and a shorter version if it was needed due to time," SAG Awards producer Kathy Connell explains. "Mr. Haim was in the longer version. As the show was running long, we were forced to chose the shorter package."

She added, "The Committee only wishes they had the time to salute everyone."

Natalie Portman and Jane Krakowski Proudly Show Baby Bumps at SAG Red Carpet

Natalie Portman and '30 Rock's Jane Krakowski proudly showed off their growing baby bumps on the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards last night in Los Angeles.

According to PEOPLE, Portman, 29, wore a form-fitting white Azzaro gown with sequined detail and Roger Vivier black satin clutch. She also had on $2 million worth of Jewellery from Tiffany & Co. and giggled while she said, "I don't want to advertise that!"

Harpers Bazaar reports that Krakowski ,42, wore a one-shoulder Badgley Mischka dress with floral sequin appliqués and showed off her lovely legs in the short dress.

Krakowski was on the red carpet with her fiancé Robert Godley, and according to UsMagazine.com she told that her pregnancy cravings were pretty tame, "I haven't really had bizerko ones. I like to drink a lot of juice. Only good things for the baby."

Portman was one of the night's big winners as she won the Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Leading Role award for her performance in 'Black Swan'.

While co-star Alec Baldwin picked up the Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Comedy Series Award, Krakowski and the rest of the '30 Rock' cast lost the Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series award to the cast of 'Modern Family'.

The Daily Mail reports that Portman is due to give birth to her baby in the summer and Krakowski is set to give birth at the end of April.

Ernest Borgnine Accepts SAG Lifetime Achievement

What do you wanna do tonight, Ernie?

To accept the Screen Actors Guild award for lifetime achievement was perhaps far more glamorous than Ernest Borgnine's most famous character — the humble butcher Marty Piletti — could have possibly dreamed.

And for the 94-year-old Borgnine, it was a moving moment when he took the stage to a standing ovation at Sunday night's SAG Awards.

In a still-continuing career that included such movies as "From Here to Eternity," "The Wild Bunch," "McHale's Navy" and so many more, Borgnine rarely failed to put a charge of humility into his work.

How fitting it was that the actor who personified humility in his Oscar-winning performance in 1955's "Marty" would take the opportunity of the lifetime achievement award to remind his colleagues of that quality.

"There are millions of those in the world who would love to be in our shoes," said Borgnine. "We are a privileged few who have been chosen to work in this field of entertainment."

He added: "I hope we will never let our dedication to our craft fail."

His words washed touchily over the crowd.

Borgnine, a World War II veteran, is still acting. He provides the voice of Mermaid Man in the Nickelodeon cartoon "SpongeBob SquarePants" and he made a cameo in last year's action film "Red."

"Comedy is just part of this man's wonderful career," said his "McHale's Navy" co-star, Tim Conway, who introduced him Sunday.

Morgan Freeman, who appeared with him in "Red," presented a misty-eyed Borgnine the award, pronouncing the old adage: "Life is what you make of it."

Ernest Borgnine Accepts SAG Lifetime Achievement

To accept the Screen Actors Guild award for lifetime achievement was perhaps far more glamorous than Ernest Borgnine’s most famous character — the humble butcher Marty Piletti — could have possibly dreamed.

And for the 94-year-old Borgnine, it was a moving moment when he took the stage to a standing ovation at Sunday night’s SAG Awards.

In a still-continuing career that included such movies as “From Here to Eternity,” '‘The Wild Bunch,” '‘McHale’s Navy” and so many more, Borgnine rarely failed to put a charge of humility into his work.

How fitting it was that the actor who personified humility in his Oscar-winning performance in 1955’s “Marty” would take the opportunity of the lifetime achievement award to remind his colleagues ofthat quality.

“There are millions of those in the world who would love to be in our shoes,” said Borgnine. “We are a privileged few who have been chosen to work in this field of entertainment.”

He added: “I hope we will never let our dedication to our craft fail.”

His words washed touchily over the crowd.

Borgnine, a World War II veteran, is still acting. He provides the voice of Mermaid Man in the Nickelodeon cartoon “SpongeBob SquarePants” and he made a cameo in last year’s action film “Red.”

“Comedy is just part of this man’s wonderful career,” said his “McHale’s Navy” co-star, Tim Conway, who introduced him Sunday.

Morgan Freeman, who appeared with him in “Red,” presented a misty-eyed Borgnine the award, pronouncing the old adage: “Life is what you make of it.”

Betty White Follows Lifetime Achievement With SAG Win

A year after Betty White received the Screen Actors Guild Lifetime Achievement award, she was back, taking home another statuette.

The 89-year-old White was honored Sunday for outstanding actress in a comedy series for her performance on TV Land’s “Hot in Cleveland.”

“I cannot believe this,” said a genuinely shocked White, after being helped to the stage by presenter Jon Hamm. “They got the old broad up those stairs — and that’s not easy.”

She added that the award was “the biggest surprise I’ve ever had in this business.”

It was a fitting win for White, whose recent comeback began at the SAG Awards. Her speech a year ago — in which she exhibited great comic timing and playful quips with presenter Sandra Bullock — was a huge hit. Afterward, a Facebook campaign was launched urging that she host “Saturday Night Live.”

She eventually did, in May, leading to an audience of 12.1 million for “SNL” and, later, an Emmy award for White. In December, Associated Press members voted her the AP Entertainer of the Year.

Back at the same podium that helped launch her unlikely late resurgence, White proved that another year hadn’t dulled her sharp wit. While speaking, she slyly ran her hand over the (particularly revealing) statuette, cooing, “ooh.”

The crowd roared.

'The King's Speech' Wins for Overall Cast at SAG Awards

The British monarchy saga "The King's Speech" won the best-actor trophy Sunday for Colin Firth and a second honor for its overall cast at the Screen Actors Guild Awards.

The two prizes capped a weeklong surge of Hollywood honors for the British monarchy saga, which is building momentum for the Feb. 27 Academy Awards, where the Facebook drama "The Social Network" previously had looked like the favorite.

Natalie Portman earned the best-actress award at the Screen Actors ceremony for "Black Swan," while "The Fighter" co-stars Christian Bale and Melissa Leo swept the supporting-acting honors, boosting their own prospects come Oscar night.

"The King's Speech" leads Oscar contenders with 12 nominations, among them best picture and actor for Firth, who has been the awards favorite virtually since the film premiered at festivals half a year ago.

"Until today, I would say probably, if ever I felt that I had a trophy which has told me that something's really happening for me, it was my SAG card," said Firth, who plays Queen Elizabeth's dad, George VI, as he takes the throne in the 1930s while struggling to overcome a debilitating stammer.

"Growing up in England, it's not something you expect to see in your wallet, really," Firth continued. "And so it has this glow, and I used to flash it around, hoping it would get me female attention, entry into nightclubs and top-level government departments. It didn't."

Many winners had gushing words for the protection and fellowship their union offers.

"I've been working since I was 11 years old, and SAG has taken care of me," said Portman, who won for her role as a ballerina losing her grip on reality. "They made sure I wasn't working too long and made sure I got an education while I was working."

Bale is a strong favorite for the supporting-actor Oscar as real-life fighter Dicky Eklund, whose career unraveled amid drugs and crime. Eklund briefly joined Bale on stage, the actor telling him he's "a real gentleman."

"I love acting. I love what we do," Bale said. "It's so bloody silly at times, isn't it? It's like playing dress-up, and other times it is so meaningful. I just enjoy that so much -- we get to walk in other people's shoes. Life without empathy is no fun at all. "

Leo, who plays the domineering matriarch of a boxing family in "The Fighter," was speechless for a long moment after taking the stage.

"I'm much better when I have my words written for me and somebody's costumes to put on," said Leo, 50, an Oscar nominee two years ago for "Frozen River" who had success earlier in her career on TV's "Homicide: Life on the Street" but has caught a second wind at an age when many actresses find roles scarce. "This has been an extraordinary season for me."

Betty White, who is having her own career resurgence in her 80s, won for TV comedy actress for "Hot in Cleveland."

"I must say this is the biggest surprise I've ever had in this business. There wasn't a prayer. I am so lucky to be ... at 89, to be working ...," White said, pausing as the crowd interrupted her with effusive applause. "You didn't applaud when I turned 40."
Alec Baldwin won his fifth-straight guild award for best actor in a comedy series for "30 Rock."

"I don't know what to say. This is ridiculous. I'm so happy," Baldwin said. "We've had a great year with the show."

"Modern Family" won for overall cast performance in a TV comedy.

Steve Buscemi of "Boardwalk Empire" and Julianna Margulies of "The Good Wife" won as best actors in a TV drama. "Boardwalk Empire," a Prohibition-era gangster series, also won for overall TV drama cast performance.

Buscemi's thanks included a shout out and congratulations to Martin Scorsese, who won a Directors Guild of America Award prize the night before for directing the pilot episode of "Boardwalk Empire." Scorsese was ill and unable to attend.

"Marty, we love you. We hope you feel better, and we love working with you. Please come back," Buscemi said.

Margulies had warm words for her in-laws "for producing truly the most spectacular human being, who I get to call my husband."

Before the show began, the guild presented its award for film stunt ensemble to the sci-fi blockbuster "Inception" and the TV stunt prize to the vampire drama "True Blood."

"The Social Network," chronicling the rise of Facebook, had been the early Oscar favorite for best-picture, named the year's top drama by key critics groups and the Golden Globes.

But "The King's Speech" has surged forward in the past week, pulling upset wins at the Directors Guild and Producers Guild awards and leading the Oscar field at last Tuesday's nominations. "The Social Network" had two SAG nominations but came away empty-handed.

Last year's individual winners at the guild awards -- Bridges for "Crazy Heart," Sandra Bullock for "The Blind Side," Mo'nique for "Precious" and Christoph Waltz for "Inglourious Basterds" -- all went on to win at the Oscars.

The cast prize, considered the guild's equivalent of a best-picture honor, has a spotty record at predicting the top Oscar winner.
The recipient of the guild's cast award has gone on to claim best-picture at the Oscars only seven of 15 years since SAG added that prize. Last year's guild cast recipient, "Inglourious Basterds," lost out to "The Hurt Locker" in the Oscar best-picture race.

The 17th annual SAG Awards, held at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles, included a life-achievement honor for Ernest Borgnine.

"We are a privileged few who have been chosen to work in this field of entertainment," said the 94-year-old Borgnine, whose award was preceded by a tribute including clips from his Oscar-winning performance in 1955's "Marty" through his role in last fall's action comedy "Red." "I hope that we will never let our dedication to our craft fail, that we will always give the best we possibly can to our profession."
