6:49 p.m.: Well, let's see. Alec Baldwin won, but didn't show. Queen Latifah won, but didn't show. Kevin Kline won, but didn't show.
6:50 p.m.: Just to refresh my memory: The actors were allowed to come to the SAGs, right?
6:57 p.m.: The actual SAG Award, I am presently reminded, is called the Actor, meaning if Jenna Fischer's estimate was correct, it tips the scales about as heavily as a lowercase actress.
7:10 p.m.: The pressroom has been bereft of any Actors or actors for about an hour now.
7:11 p.m.: So, as I was telling the ghost of Lillian Gish...
7:16 p.m.: Leave it to Daniel Day-Lewis to interrupt my story.
7:17 p.m.: Day-Lewis, who devoted a good deal of his acceptance speech to Heath Ledger, tells us he never met the actor. "[But] I thought he was beautiful," he says. "I had a very strong feeling I would have liked him as a man."
7:18 p.m.: It sounds like the decision to talk about Ledger on stage wasn't a decision at all for Day-Lewis. "It's all I was thinking about for the past few days," he says.
7:19 p.m.: For a private-favoring public figure, Day-Lewis is gamely fielding questions, including ones about why he doesn't like to field questions about his work. ("It seems kind of self-defeating to just keep talking about it," he says.)
7:28 p.m.: Sayeth the SAG Awards flack: "We're told the cast of No Country for Old Men will not be doing interviews."
7:29 p.m.: Guess who probably just ran into Day-Lewis in the lobby?
