The 14th Annual SAG Awards shall be known this year as the SOG awards thanks to a rainy LA weekend. It will be interesting to see just how many celebrities brave the weather to attend. Read on to find out about the behind the red carpet reality of an awards show. 2:00 pm: I can't remember an awards show where I have ever been this cranky. It was pouring rain when I got in my car to come here. Apparently, parts of the red carpet area were flooded. When I finally arrive to the Shrine it has stopped raining and the sun is peaking through the clouds. The aftermath still remains. The red carpet is all wet and soggy.
2:30 pm: I just arrived to the red carpet where I have to climb over a hedge to get to my position. They literally have us in front of a pole. To make matters worse, every two seconds I feel a drop of rain on my neck. Can I go home?
3:00 pm: The SAG awards red carpet has officially just opened. The first celebrity to arrive is Nikki Blonsky from "Hairspray" and Christina Applegate who is nominated for her role on "Samantho Who?"
3:05 pm: Sara Ramirez from "Grey's Anatomy" arrives and I wonder if she will be the only cast member to make the red carpet trip. We are so far down the line I can't even see them.
3:06 pm: Who the hell is Phoebe Price and how does she get invited to these events? She looks like a statue in her gold dress and not in a good way. Somebody IMDB her for me and tell me what the heck she has done.
3:10 pm: Wait I need another IMDB. Who was the cute kid who played Jack's son on "Will and Grace?" He is standing right in front of me. I just watched him in "Sky High" on Disney Channel in my hotel room last weekend. Yes, I'm that pathetic.
3:15 pm: It's all about the bit players in these earlier minutes. Brenda Strong and Andrea Bowen from "Desperate Housewives" are here. So is Angela Kinsey from "The Office." Later, I talk to her. She is glowing and six months pregnant.
3:33 pm: The highlight so far is when I spot Mrs. McCluskey from "Desperate Housewives". My producer informs me that her real name is Kathryn Joosten. I'm about to go live and she could be my first "get." Yes, I know its pretty bad down here at my end. Meanwhile up at our platform with Nancy O'Dell are bigger names like Christina Applegate and Debra Messing, who have just arrived.
3:37 pm: Here comes the rain again!!!!!!! Ugh. Nightmare.
