Best and Worst of the 2012 SAG Awards: 'The Help,' 'Bridesmaids' drinking game, Betty White

Best: The 'Bridesmaids' crew gives America a new drinking game
At a point when it seemed like the 2012 SAGs could turn into the longest-feeling two-hour awards show ever, Kristen Wiig, Maya Rudolph and Melissa McCarthy came out to present best film ensemble nominee "Bridesmaids." Before cutting to the clip, however, the ladies decided to let the global audience in on their on-set drinking game triggered by whenever someone says "Scorsese." The site of McCarthy chugging on a bottle of vodka (we assume it was re-filled with water) every time Rudolph or Wiig said "Scorsese" in "casual conversation" was a clear and hilarious reminder of just why there has been so much awards season love for "Bridesmaids" in the first place. - Gregory Ellwood

jcpdiesel21 I'd be fine with Baldwin repeating once or twice, but he has won the award for SIX years in a row. That's just lazy, complacent voting, especially when there are other funny performers that should be recognized.

January 30, 2012 at 6:33PM EST Reply to CommentDaniel, I'm trying to figure out what you meant in Photo 2 when you say "...the SAG voters didn't even nominate any of the year's most acclaimed new shows, including Golden Globe winners like "Homeland" and "Modern Family."
Did you mean "Homeland" and "Enlightened"?
