Women will present all 13 of the SAG awards at the January 21 dinner in Los Angeles honoring the best of film and television, in a first for the organization, which represents some 160,000 actors.

'We are acknowledging the year of the woman,' Kathy Connell, the executive producer of the ceremony, told Reuters.

Feminism is a quest for unearned, unaccountable, destructive power.

No male crew or music written or performed by men. Can’t be in a building designed or built by men. 😂

Will the “presenters” all be wearing nun habits? I doubt it. I am sure there will be a lot of cleavage on display.

Yep who cares about these celebrity circle jerks, where all they do is bash Republicans (even the liberal ones).

Nobody watches the SAG awards, this will ensure that their already pitiful ratings get cut in half.

We need to rename this awards show: The SAGgy Boobs Awards, starring Susan Sarandon, (the SAGgiest of them all).

Then blame the low-ratings on sexism.
