The 16th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards (SAG) were announced on Thursday, with a few surprises.

George Clooney's Up in the Air, which just received a Golden Globe nomination for best picture, was snubbed by SAG in the best ensemble category. Inglourious Basterds, Precious and Up in the Air earned the most nominations, with three a piece. Newcomer Gabourey Sidibe will be competing in the lead actress category for her role in Precious against Sandra Bullock, Carey Mulligan, Meryl Streep and Helen Mirren.

Showtime's Dexter continues to chop up the nominations. It received three, tieing NBC's 30 Rock and TNT's The Closer. The buzz of comedy newcomers Glee and Modern Family seem to have dampered voters love for The Big Bang Theory as it was shut out of the ensemble comedy series category. Toni Collette, who won the Emmy for best actress in a comedy series for her role in United States of Tara will be going up against Edie Falco, Tina Fey, Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Christina Applegate, who received a nomination for her role in the now canceled Samantha Who?.

I read an interesting article at The Live Feed asking whether or not Fox made a mistake by moving Fringe to Thursdays. It made me think about how I’m adapting to the night when my two DVRs are at their busiest, what I’m watching live and how long it is taking me to get to shows I still love, but have a hard time finding time to watch. Let me break it down.

I don’t watch CBS’ Thursday night lineup. I started to fall for The Mentalist at the end of last season, enjoyed catching up with it in reruns over the summer and had it scheduled on my DVR this season, but I have yet to watch a new episode. In fact I had to delete it off my DVR because there just isn’t enough time to watch Thursday’s, Friday’s and Sunday’s shows by Monday morning, when the TV week starts all over again. I’ll have to catch up on it in the off season or next summer. READ MORE
