"If I were a regular, ordinary, not-rich-and-famous actor, and if I wanted my union to be strong so it could fight for me ... would I want to give any of these rich-and-famous UNION-UNDERMINERS my vote? Would I want my union to give them such an honor -- MY UNION's ultimate stamp-of-approval? I would remember those names when I began to mark my ballot."
And as for those name -- those "Strike Vote Scabs" as it were --who did Fisher believe should be deprived of SAG Awards? Eight names were listed including Josh Brolin ("Milk"), Kevin Spacey ("Recount"), Susan Sarandon ("Bernard & Doris"), Michael C. Hall ("Dexter"), Sally Field ("Brothers & Sisters"), Alec Baldwin ("30 Rock"), Steve Carell ("The Office") and Tony Shaloub ("Monk").
Wait a second? Tony Shaloub for "Monk"??? Is that show even on anymore?
Other famous names who oppose authorizing a Guild strike include George Clooney and Tom Hanks – but as they are not up for any SAG Awards this year their names stayed off the chain-letter blacklist. And what famous names are in favor of a strike vote authorization? How about Mel Gibson and Martin Sheen? OK, so is it just me or is there a disproportionate amount of crazy on the strike side at the moment?
Meanwhile, former SAG president Richard Masur has called Fisher out for "politicizing" the SAG Awards and has asked for her apology – Strawberry Alice herself is remaining quietly defiant for the moment.
