Stranger Things at the SAG Awards

Stranger Things at the SAG Awards

The cast of Stranger Things won big at SAG Awards (Screen Actors Guild Awards) and star David Harbour used his moment to deliver a speech that got some of his fellow actors on their feet.

"This award from you, who take your craft seriously and earnestly believe, like me, that great acting can change the world is a call to arms from our fellow craftsmen and women to go deeper and, through our art, to battle against fear, self-centeredness and exclusivity of our predominantly narcissistic culture," he said. "And through our craft, cultivate a more empathetic and understanding society by revealing intimate truths that serve as a forceful reminder to folks that when they feel broken, and afraid and tired they are not alone."

His words caused his co-star Winona Ruder to pump her fist in the air.

"We are united in that we are all human beings, and we are all together on this horrible, painful, joyous, exciting and mysterious ride that is being alive," Habour said.

Indeed, there were many great speeches at the SAG Awards, but none attracted as much attention as the Stranger Things' cast calling on Americans to unite with the world. The attention it sparked was such that the speech became an Internet meme.

Even though David Harbour - who plays Chief Jim Hopper - gave an impassioned speech, it wasn't his words but Winona Ryder's incredible facial expressions what flooded social media.

With her first pumps and emoji-friendly looks, Winona Ryder drew attention to herself and extra attention to Harbour, who was standing beside her.

Every member of the cast is being questioned about the incident, including Gaten Matarazzo who plays Dustin in the series.

"I think it's just that she couldn't hear what Davir (Harbour) was saying," the actor said when questioned on why Ryder was making those faces. When questioned what he thought of those memorable faces, he said: "Yeah, it was awesome!" He added: "I think we were all just so happy to be with each other - it was just a great time."

Apparently, Winona Ryder wasn't prepared for Harbour's moving speech and with her dramatic facial expressions she guided viewers on the journey on taking the speech in.

In his speech, Harbour said: "As we act in the continuing narrative of Stranger Things, we... will repel bullies, we will shelter freaks and outcasts, those who have no home, we will get past the lies, we will hunt monsters, and when we are at a loss amidst the hypocrisy and the casual violence of certain individuals and institutions, we will, as per chief Jim Hopper, punch some people in the face when they seek to destroy the weak, the disenfranchised, and we will do it all with soul, with heart, and with joy. We thank you for this responsibility."

2017's SAG awards were heavily political and many acceptance speeches were used to make strong statements about the current political climate in the US.

Fisher had one request for Harrison Ford

Fisher had one request for Harrison Ford

ABC News recently unearthed an interview with Rebel Force Radio podcast from April 2010. In the interview, the late actress Carrie Fisher talked about a very specific way she'd like to be remembered. It involves the Academy Awards, the In Memoriam segment, her "Star Wars" co-star Harrison Ford, and wookiees... yes, you read that correctly.

"I saw him on Oscar night at some party," Fished said of Ford. "And I asked him - you know how they have the reel on all the people who have died? I asked him if he would be in my death reel, and if he would sing. It's just something I want."

Fisher told the hosts of the podcast that her unusual request was inspired by the 2010 Oscars tribute to writer and director John Hughes, which saw several actors from his films honor him onstage.

"Because they did that think with John Hugues, they brought out all these actors who worked with him. So, I figured they'll bring out, depending on, of course, when it happens, there's a lot of people they can bring out. He's going to sing ‘Melancholy Wookie'," Fished said.

When asked what song she would like Harrison to sing at the Academy Awards, she said:

"He's going to sing ‘Melancholy Wookiee,'" Fisher quipped in the interview, before mocking the actor's voice. "I don't think we're missing much," she said.

The truth is that Carrie Fisher never lost her sense of humor, not even she talked about her own death. "I tell my younger friends that no matter how I go, I want it reported that I drowned in moonlight, strangled by my own bra."

Her sense of humor has transcended her death. The world has been humored when the Star Wars' actress' ashes were placed in an urn shaped like a Prozac pill.

But her sense of humor was remarkable while she was alive as well. Here are some of her funniest and wisest quotes:

"If my life wasn't funny, it would just be true, and that is unacceptable." "I feel very sane about how crazy I am."

"Resentment is like drinking poison and waiting for the other person to die."

"I am mentally ill. I can say that. I am not ashamed of that. I survived that, I'm still surviving it, but bring it on."

"Life is a cruel, horrible joke and I am the punch line."

"Stay afraid, but do it anyway. What's important is the action. You don't have to wait to be confident. Just do it and eventually the confidence will follow."

"Men don't age better than women. They're just allowed to age."

"I quote fictional characters, because I'm a fictional character myself!"

"You're not really famous until you're a Pez dispenser."

"I'm fine, but I'm bipolar. I'm on seven medications, and I take medication three times a day. This constantly puts me in touch with the illness I have. I'm never quite allowed to be free of that for a day. It's like being a diabetic."

75th vs 74th Golden Globe Awards

75th vs 74th Golden Globe Awards

The 75th Golden Globe Awards honored film and American television of 2017 and was broadcast live on January 7, 2018 but the 74th

Golden Globe Awards

honored the best in film and American television of 2016 and was broadcast live on January 8, 2017 from The Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, California by NBC and we think was more memorable so we'll review that here.

Jimmy Fallon was announced as the host of the ceremony, while Meryl Streep was announced as the Cecil B. DeMille Lifetime Achievement Award honoree. The nominations were announced by Don Cheadle, Laura Dern and Anna Kendrick.

La La Land won all seven awards for which it had been nominated, becoming the most successful film in Golden Globe Awards history and seventh overall to win each award for which it was nominated, including Best Director, Best Screenplay, for Damien Chazelle and Best Motion Picture - Musical or Comedy.

The best comic bit was the one in the introduction for the best animated feature. Kristen Wiig an Steve Carell joked about their tragic childhood memories involving animated films while presenting best animated feature.

"Do you remember the first time you saw an animated movie?" Wiig asked Carell. "Dad took me to see Fantasia," he replied. He then talked about how when he left the movie, his mother was standing in the theater lobby. "That was the moment she told my dad that she wanted a divorce," Carell said, never cracking a smile. He somberly joked he never saw his father again.

As the camera cut to audience members laughing at the bit, it was Wiig's turn to share her tragic animated feature memories. She talked about her grandfather taking her to see Bambi after her three dogs were put down. Her pets were named Jack, Janet and Chrissy as a nod to Three's Company.

Like Carell, she said it was the last day she ever saw her grandfather. He disappeared and she didn't talk to him for two years, she said, adding long pauses alongside Carell while making the audience.

Then the pair went on to announce Zootopia as the winner.

The most overused comic bit was the one about Sofia Vergara not being a native English speaker. She came out and said "anal" twice and then "anus" the joke is that she can't pronounce "annual".

The most elegant speech was delivered by Tracee Ellis Ross. She won the Globe for best actress in a comedy ("black-ish"), Ross said that her award was also for "all of the women, women of color and colorful people whose stories, ideas and thoughts are not always considered worthy and valid and important." She said that it's "an honor" to be on a show that tells stories "outside of where the industry usually looks." She also seemed absolutely delighted to have won.
