The 19th annual Screen Actor’s Guild Awards were last night in Hollywood California. Again, praise was given for Ben Affleck’s Argo and Daniel Day Lewis’ performance in Lincoln. If it weren’t for Affleck being snubbed by the Academy Awards, I would say that the Oscar’s this year were extremely predictable. We have a little over a month to go and still tons of award shows to keep track of. Anyone else feel they too should be watching Downtown Abby?

Downton Abbey is a British TV period drama set in the early 20th century that chronicles an atristocratic family.
I have a few friends who watch it and like it. That premise doesn't really appeal to me unless they start fighting aliens, zombies and do some time traveling. :)
Still none of these movies are on my radio for even being good movies. Have to wait for Spike awards as usual.
Only one Mania writer posted a list of the best movies of 2012 on this website and he selected a musical -
Les Mis #1.
No Aliens, Zombies, or Time Traveling in that one and while I'm not sure what a Spike Award is...given the channels machismo posture I doubt Les Mis will get one.
I can get a list of Golden Globe or SAG awards winners anywhere, I'm more curious to see what other Mania critics(besides Rob Vaux) thought were the best of 2012.

I think LINCOLN deserves to win everything except maybe best supporting actress because Anne Hathaway was sublime in Les Miserables
What's Downton Abby?
