DGA ANNOUNCES TV NOMINATIONS
"Mad Men," "30 Rock" and director Paris Barclay scored double TV nominations from the DGA while David Fincher received a commercials nod after his feature nomination for "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button."
The Directors Guild of America, which announced TV, documentary and commercial nominees Friday morning, will announce the winners Jan. 31 at the 61st annual DGA Awards dinner at the Century Plaza Hotel. Ballots will be sent to the DGA's 14,000 members.
Fincher received his second DGA nomination in two days with a nod for directing ads for Nike, Apple and the Stand up to Cancer campaign. He won the category in 2003.
"Mad Men" took two nominations in dramatic series nods with Alan Taylor for "The Mountain King" segment and Matthew Weiner for "Mediations in an Emergency." Other nods went to Barclay for the "Alex - Week Eight" episode of "In Treatment"; Jack Bender for "The Constant" episode of "Lost" and Dan Attias for the "Transisitons" segment of "The Wire."
SAG STRIKE SITUATION TAKES NASTY TURN
The Screen Actors Guild's battle over its strike authorization has taken an especially nasty turn, thanks to a suggested boycott of eight actors who are up for SAG awards.
The proposed boycott came to light after a significant number of SAG members received a pair of anonymous emails forwarded by national board member Frances Fisher. The two emails proposed that the SAG members withhold their award votes for the eight thesps because of their public support for the opposition to the authorization vote.
Nearly 2,000 SAG members -- including George Clooney and Tom Hanks -- have declared that they oppose the authorization due to the nation's current financial crisis.
In her email, Fisher said the letters were forwards and asked that her name and email be removed if the recipient chose to forward the letters. In a response issued Friday, former SAG president and current board member Richard Masur compared the anonymous email to a blacklist and called on Fisher to repudiate it.
The anonymous email singled out Josh Brolin (who was nominated for "Milk"), Kevin Spacey ("Recount"), Susan Sarandon ("Bernard & Doris"), Michael C. Hall ("Dexter"), Sally Field ("Brothers and Sisters"), Alec Baldwin ("30 Rock"), Steve Carell ("The Office") and Tony Shalhoub ("Monk").
