It was kinda weird and clumsy.... Sean Astin's behavior last night. He kinda sidled up to Bernard Hill as if to help him because he was dragging... and then he made some really clumsy comments about SAG and that his mother had been President of SAG and spoke against the latest trend in making films abroad instead of at home. (Interesting opinion for a guy accepting an award for a Kiwi-made film) He said it so clumsily I wouldn't have got the point if I hadn't seen the statement by SAG President Melissa Gilbert on the same theme: "Buy American" and stop going overseas to make movies cheaper. I didn't realize this was a current politic in Hollywood.

In the end.... John-Rys Davies (A Welshman...not one to have a lot of interest in "Buy American") did push him out of the way in a comedic way.... Perhaps just to save him because he was rambling so incoherently.

I think Sean is a nice man. I think his heart is in the right place. He is young and idealistic. He wants to be more than an actor, but he hasn't found his voice. I hope his good heart keeps him on the right side... even if he will never be conservative. There used to be good patriotic Democrats who would fight for what is right and fight for country. If he won't join our side, I hope he becomes one of those.
