DENNY CRANE. COO-COO FOR COOCA PUFFS: There aren't a whole lot of surprises in this year's SAG Award nominations for films, with the possible exception of Hustle & Flow getting an "ensemble performance" nomination without a nomination for Terrence Howard individually. The TV categories are interesting, in part because there's no supporting/leading distinction, which leads to a dramatic actor race that includes Alan Alda, Patrick Dempsey, Ian McShane, Hugh Laurie, and Keifer Sutherland. Two interesting notes on the comedy side. Unlike the Emmys and Golden Globes, which are apparently contractually obligated to recognize each of the Desperate Housewives, SAG recognizes only Felicity Huffman (who's also nominated for Transamerica). More oddly, Boston Legal picks up three individual acting nominations (Spader, Shatner, and Bergen) and an ensemble performance nod in the "Comedy Series" category. Now, I'll agree that Boston Legal can be a very, very funny show, but is it accurately a "comedy series?"
