TOM CRUISE WILL PRESENT AT SAG AWARDS
January 24, 2008
Tom Cruise is set to be a presenter at the Screen Actors Guild Awards ceremony Sunday, which will finally give Hollywood a chance to dress up.
The Writers Guild strike forced cancellation or scaling-down of other ceremonies, including the Golden Globe Awards.
Previously announced SAG Awards presenters include Steve Carell, Russell Crowe, Kate Hudson, Matthew McConaughey, Forest Whitaker and John Travolta.
Cruise, a three-time Oscar and SAG Awards nominee, will help hand out the Actor trophies.
The 45-year-old actor and movie mogul made news this month as the subject of an "unauthorized biography" and a four-year-old video that surfaced on the internet in which he explains the virtues of Scientology.
The SAG Awards will recognize performances in five film and eight television categories. Winners, chosen by nearly 100,000 members of the actors' union, often become front-runners for the Academy Awards.
