Dame Maggie Smith, Downton Abbey, Screen Actors Guild

The Screen Actors Guild Awards were on last night and Downton Abbey’s very own Maggie Smith won for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Drama Series.

She was up against some tough competition also.

Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Drama Series

CLAIRE DANES / Carrie Mathison – “HOMELAND” (Showtime)

ANNA GUNN / Skyler White – “BREAKING BAD” (AMC)

JESSICA LANGE / Fiona Goode – “AMERICAN HORROR STORY: COVEN” (FX)

MAGGIE SMITH / Violet, Dowager Countess of Grantham – “DOWNTON ABBEY” (PBS)

Unfortunately, Downton Abbey did not win in its nominated category of Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series.  The show was up against Boardwalk Empire (HBO), Breaking Bad (AMC), Game of Thrones (HBO), and Homeland(Showtime).  Breaking Bad ultimately won.  I guess Meth Dealers beat Aristocracy these days.  There is no accounting for a lack of taste in Hollywood.

Downton Abbey Trivia Tuesday

It’s Tuesday and that means it is time for Downton Abbey Trivia Tuesday!!!!  (I know it will be hard but try to control your excitement.)

Did you know that Dame Maggie Smith has never actually watched Downton Abbey?

That’s right, folks.   She says she is too much of a perfectionist to watch her self on-screen.

“It’s frustrating. I always see things I would do differently and think, ‘Oh, why in the name of God did I do that?’” Smith said.”

You learn something new everyday.
