Awards season has arrived and at Terra we NEVER miss a beat. I, of course, couldn't miss yesterday's casting of the Screen Actors Guild Award statue at the American Fine Arts Foundry in Burbank, California.
EXCLUSIVE! Regina King & Judy Greer Talk SAG Awards (VIDEO) While there I caught up with actress Betsy Brandt from the hit AMC series, Breaking Bad. Brandt is nominated under the Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series category for her work on Bad.
SAG Awards Holiday Online Auction-Take A Peek!The oh-so-delightful actress seemed so excited to be there and eager to take a SAG award with her (at one point she even joked about putting one in a cameraman's bag). Eager to know what I dished with the actress and what she said about stripper flick, Magic Mike? Then check out my interview with Betsy Brandt, below.
Don't miss this year's SAG Awards which will be simulcast live coast to coast on Sunday, January 29, 2011 on TNT and TBS at 8 p.m. (ET)/ 5 p.m. (PT).
HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE NOMINATED AND TO BE HOLDING A "NAKED MAN" RIGHT NOW?
"(Laughs) Um, it really makes me want a statue even more and I didn't think that was possible 'cause I'm really hoping that we win. But we are all just really happy to be nominated and be recognized by other actors...not like recognized like, 'Oh, hey! I know you from...'"(laughs)
IF YOU DO WIN A SAG AWARD, WHERE WILL YOU PUT IT?
"I have said that I would build a room for it. We have a Peabody and so I would probably put it next to my Peabody which you see right away when you come into my house."
AS AN ACTRESS, WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE PART OF THIS AWARDS CEREMONY?
"It means so much to be nominated by other actors and it's just...and also these parties are really fun. We get to see people that we know and people that you don't know and want to meet. So that's really great too. I mean, throughout the Emmys and other things I've met a lot of people from The Office and met a lot of other actors, but it's always really, really fun when it's for actors and nominated and voted on by other actors."
HAVE YOU SEEN ANYONE STRIP DOWN ON THE SET OF MAGIC MIKE, YET AND WHAT CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT YOUR ROLE IN THE FILM?
"(Jokingly) Um, you know, I tried, I told Channing Tatum that I would even change the scene right in front of Steven Soderbergh if he would dance for me in the makeup trailer, but he's all professional. I don't want to give too much away, but I play...Channing Tatum is trying to get his life back on track and he tries to get a bank loan from my character."
