Screen Actors Guild Awards 44th Annual Life Achievement Award
Charles Durning (He’s done so much on TV as well as movies, so I figured I’d include him here. Most recently on the small screen, he’s been playing Tommy’s dad (that’s even how he’s credited!) on Rescue Me. By the by, did you know he was born in Highland Falls, just outside the LoHud, by West Point?)

















I'd REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, love for HUGH LAURIE to win.
He is AMAZING on HOUSE.
WE LOVE YOU, HUGH.
