‘The Office’ wins Best Comedy Ensemble SAG Award

The Office


Jenna Fischer and cast accept the SAG Award for Best Comedy Ensemble.
So fantastic.

Jenna’s speech: “Hi. Thank you. They voted me to speak if we won, so — which we didn’t expect. Thank you so much. We really love working together. We love each other, we love working together and being together. And as an ensemble, a lot of the people in this group struggled for a long time as non-working actors — and by a long time I mean, like, eight, 12, 15, 20 years. So, we’re always grateful, we don’t take it for granted. Thank you so much.

But there’s another part of our ensemble, that’s our crew, and we want to dedicate this to them tonight. We can’t wait to go back to work with them, so, thank you so much.”

Nominate Office blogs for the Bloggies!

2008 Weblog Awards Bloggies

REMINDER! The deadline to add OfficeTally to the ballot is TONIGHT at 10pm ET. Please help nominate OT!

I was chatting with some of The Office folks and we thought it would be cool to nominate a block of blogs for the 2008 Weblog Awards (also known as the Bloggies).

Will you help? Then click over to the gigantic Bloggies nomination form and fill it out thusly:

  • Best Entertainment Weblog:
    OfficeTally, https://www.officetally.com
  • Best Humorous Weblog:
    Creed Thoughts, http://blog.nbc.com/CreedThoughts
  • Best Humorous Weblog:

With each Tallyhead submitting this nomination ballot, we’ll be UNSTOPPABLE. And if you don’t believe me, Tallyheads helped OfficeTally win the 2007 Bloggers’ Choice Award for Best Entertainment Blog!

The deadline to submit nominations is next Friday, January 11 at 10pm ET, so we don’t have much time. Let’s fill up some categories with our show!

P.S. If you are concerned about supporting the character blogs, don’t be. My sources on the show have told me “The blogs aren’t violating any WGA rules, so please nominate away. Support from TallyHeads is highly encouraged because, as we all know, if you don’t support the blogs, then the terrorists win.”
