LOS ANGELES (AP) - Tonight's SAG Awards will have a little more gloss than usual with the ceremony marking the 75th anniversary of the Screen Actors Guild. The show will feature chandeliers, arches, wallpaper and other decor harking back to the 1930s when the guild was founded.
It will help make up for the loss of star power when the Golden Globes fell victim to the writers' strike. Among the evening's nominees are George Clooney, Tilda Swinton, Tom Wilkinson, Angelina Jolie and Tommy Lee Jones.
"Into the Wild" and "No Country for Old Men" are nominated for overall cast performance, along with the Western "3:10 to Yuma," the crime tale "American Gangster" and the musical "Hairspray."
"No Country for Old Men" won top honors last night at the Directors Guild of America Awards for Joel and Ethan Coen. The winner there usually goes on to take home the directing Oscar.
If it also wins the cast prize from the actors guild, "No Country for Old Men" could emerge as the favorite to win best picture at the Oscars.
