Last Friday Screen Actors Guild president Alan Rosenberg informally asked big-talent publicists repping actors who’ve been nominated for a Critics Choice Award to keep them away from attending tonght’s awards ceremony. That didn’t go over — talent will be attending. To clarify or reposition, a SAG spokesperson said this morning that “the Screen Actors Guild is not discouraging its members from attending the BFCA [Critics’ Choice] Awards, nor will there be repercussions for any members that choose to do so. It is not a struck production and there will not be a picket line. Members who make a personal choice to attend the event will [therefore] not be crossing a picket line to do so.”
