Frances Fisher stirs up the SAG strike

Congratulations to Frances Fisher for introducing even more nastiness into a situation that didn’t need any.

Fisher forwarded a pair of anonymous emails to SAG members that suggested they withhold their Screen Actors Guild Award votes for eight actors because of their public support for the opposition to the authorization vote.

In the email, she said the letters were forwards and asked that her name and email be removed if the recipient chose to forward the letters.

Who are the eight actors singled out? Josh Brolin (nominated for “Milk“), Steve Carell (“The Office“), Kevin Spacey (“Recount“), Alec Baldwin (“30 Rock“), Susan Sarandon (“Bernard & Doris“), Tony Shalhoub (“Monk“), Michael C. Hall (Dexter“) and Sally Field (“Brothers and Sisters“).

“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?” one of the anonymous emails said. “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.”
