The SAG Awards

It’s fun to watch Awards shows,
Though they’re shallow and they’re trite – 
Stars all gathering together
For an ego-boosting night.

Yet the SAG Awards montages
Showing actors at their start
Captured images of younger days
That set the show apart.

From childhood roles and little parts
In soaps or SVU,
We got to see performers
When their jobs were spanking new.

The lucky ones who have careers
Which grow, improve and last
Might be mortified or tickled by
These glimpses of the past.

The stars have so much. I always think the excess gifts at their tables when they return from the stage, is very silly. I've seen small diamond bracelets, bottles of champagne, perfumes.. Enough already. That being said I liked the last line of your first stanza. Although, I will confess with guilt, I love watching the beautiful gowns walk down the red carpet. A double standard of mine, I guess. :)

Enjoyed your observations, Ilene. I know David Bowie was always embarrassed by ‘The Laughing Gnome”… but I always enjoyed it… I guess there’s no accounting for taste.

Lol, bet many cringe when reminded of their past. Tom
