Not impressed by SAG Awards

-

Regarding coverage of the Screen Actors Guild Awards [Jan. 22]: The shock of seeing Frances McDormand on the front page made me wonder, “Has she gotten a degree in molecular biology on the sly and discovered the cure for cancer?”

I read on to discover the article was about another awards show I had never heard of for entertaine­rs.

In a world with daily medical breakthrou­ghs, mass poverty and millions of war refugees, I was saddened to see a once great newspaper waste space on a tiny group of the hyper-privileged. Miguel Apodaca San Diego

If I counted right, the SAG Awards was the white women’s awards. If one counted up the number of white female actresses pictured in The Times, as opposed to black or brown women, it was 85% to 15%. Mark Walker Chino Hills
