Luminous series continues its stark journey into the future

The show deconstructs the toxic social mores of the era, revealing an even thicker air of resistance: Don Draper is still a prolific womanizer, but as his wife, Betty, inches closer to the truth, we see real fear form in his eyes. A white copywriter brings his black girlfriend to work, and a young co-worker announces casually that he’s gay. These revelations cause rifts, but everyone ultimately shrugs, a hint at the imminent social revolution that haunts the show. Every exquisitely decorated episode of

Last night the actors acknowledged themselves at the Screen Actors Guild Awards. The ladies looked marvelous and the men were relaxed on the red carpet. This show included some great laughs and the speeches were fun and after all the winners said their thanks they headed back to the press room to pose with their new trophies. Sean Penn was overlooked by the globes but not by his peers while the 30 Rock cast continued to score again and again. Alec Baldwin brought along his beautiful daughter Ireland as his date while Tina spoke about her baby girl in her speech. Meryl was shocked with her win and noted she didn't even bother to buy a dress. Kate Winslet and Slumdog Millionaire continued to score awards this season. Do you think they are going to be shoo-ins for the Oscars? To see lots more of the Mad Men and 30 Rock cast,

The SAG Awards sparkled. Women in beautiful dresses, perfectly accessorized; men crisply attired in suits or tuxes; and flash cameras and video everywhere—it was quite a scene. There was drama …
… and romance:
Boldface names made their way down the red carpet: the bolder the name, the faster they moved. Oops, there went Brad Pitt (Benjamin Button). Too late. But Alec Baldwin (30 Rock) did pause for a moment:
He picked up an award later that evening for male actor in a comedy series. Meanwhile, the unofficial award for cutest kids went to the ones playing adman Don Draper’s children in Mad Men. Kiernan Shipka looks sweet …
… but advised me that if she won an award (she did, as part of an ensemble), it would go next to her Tae Kwon Do trophies. Easy there tiger! Meanwhile, her cast-mate and fellow winner Aaron Hart is a handsome little fellow …

Kate Winslet got a kiss from her husband and director Sam Mendes as she celebrated her Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress awards at the Golden Globes. Tina Fey and Alec Baldwin goofed around with their 30 Rock costars though it was Tracy Morgan who stole the show with his acceptance speech. The Mad Men cast all stood together and many other stars that won, as well as presenters, posed and looked gorgeous in the happy press room. The night's biggest winner was Slumdog Millionaire, which the cast, producer, director and writers humbly accepted. Lots of other celebrities took home the gold - check out the full list of winners here. Steven Spielberg was honored with the impressive Cecile B. DeMille award, where he talked about the value of having a mentor in the industry. Anyone who has Spielberg as a mentor is one lucky aspiring director and last night he
