The Screen Actors Guild Awards holiday auction closes Sunday, Dec. 14, at 6 p.m., so anyone looking to get an AMC swag bag. or signed Game of Thrones script or Mad Men hat--no not a crisp fedora but a ballcap--get those bids in.
There are actually two separate categories, one, an eBay auction, for signed scripts and books and DVD's, and other items, the other (on luxury experience site CharityBuzz) for "VIP Experiences" including show tapings, resort stays, golf packages, and red carpet seats and backstage tours at the SAG Awards Jan. 25 and pre-awards events.
Funds from the auction go to the SAG Foundation's children's literacy programs, and no that is not a program to cultivate child labor to pore over scripts--at least I don't think it is.
