The SAG Award nominees were announced this morning, with actress Kate Winslet at the front of the pack with two nominations and John Patrick Shanley’s “Doubt” earning five. People Magazine says

The actress was recognized by her peers… as both a lead and supporting actress for her current releases, Revolutionary Road and The Reader.

John Patrick Shanley’s Doubt – starring the nominated Meryl Streep, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Amy Adams and Viloa Davis – led the movie pack, with five nods.

The late Heath Ledger also joins the SAG best supporting actor category for [his role as the Joker].

Brad Pitt got a leading actor nod for The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. Angelina Jolie was also recognized, for Changeling.

Notably absent from the list: “The Love Guru,” “Mad Money,” and that video of me doing a one-man rendition of “How Green Was My Valley” in Klingon. It might not win any awards, but you’d still have to agree it’s the most watchable of the three.

Now, in the spirit of Christmas and Baby Jesus, Yahoo lays off 1500 employees but still manages to scrounge up enough money to host a “Yahoo Snow Fight” with British Page 3 model Nicola McLean. Maybe there wasn’t a manger nearby that they could take a dump in:

Bonus:
Screw You Yahoo – A song written by Michelle Chappel, a former Yahoo consultant.
