Backstage Report: Tina Looks on the Bright Side of Conan-Leno Mess

All the backstage dish from the Screen Actors Guild Awards!

Tina Fey is hoping for brighter days at NBC. (No, really.) The cast of Glee is rassling. (Well, no, not really.)

All the dish from backstage at the 16th Screen Actors Guild Awards:

5:51 p.m.: It seems like only six days ago I saw Christoph Waltz accessorize a tuxedo with a statuette. Oh, wait...

• How familiar is the press, at least, getting with the heretofore unknown Inglourious Basterds baddie? Begins a reporter brightly: "Hi, Chris!"

• Yes, Waltz is about as happy-go-lucky as he is in the Quentin Tarantino film (although far, far, far nicer). "I have no lucky charm," he informs us. "I am 100 percent superstition-free. And I've taken nothing for granted."

• At the all-wet Golden Globes, Tina Fey joked it wasn't raining, it was God crying for NBC's late-night woes. So, one night after Conan O'Brien's Tonight Show farewell, how should we interpret today's blue, sunny skies, I ask the 30 Rock denizen? "Hopefully everything's settled. I hope so," Fey says, decidedly not going for the joke. "I've got lot of friends who work over at Conan, and I'm just glad that everything's resolved."

• And no, Team CoCo, in case you're keeping a friends' list, Fey did not say she had pals over at Leno.

• Fey gets asked what's on her bucket list: "Why, do you think I'm going to die soon?," she shoots back.

• If you must know, since Fey has shaken hands with Meryl Streep and worked at Saturday Night Live, her bucket list is down to: doing a hike at Acadia National Park, which she's also already done, she'd just like to do it again.

• If you must know, yes, NBC's pending sale to Comcast will be fodder for 30 Rock—and Alec Baldwin. "It will be an arc for Jack," Fey says.

• Fey's not complaining, but she tells us she only slept two hours last night—a late-night shoot in New York with Michael Sheen. But again, she's not complaining. "I would so much rather do that than have a real job," she says.

• The unwieldy cast of Glee is so unwieldy, I ask them how they settled on Jane Lynch as their speech-making spokeswoman. "It was an arm wrestle," Cory Monteith 'fesses. Lynch, though, has a different story: "I'm the oldest."

• It's Glee's second awards show win in as many weekends, and ostensive leads Matthew Morrison and Lea Michele still haven't sought starring roles at the press conferences. Maybe Monteith wasn't kidding about the arm wrestling. Lynch, after all, does look fit—and ready to throw down.
