Usually, the Screen Actors Guild Awards are a mild affair, something for nominees to do between the Golden Globes and the Academy Awards. But since the Globes didn't happen and the Oscars may be called off, OK! asked quick-typing Associate Editor Joyce Eng to break down the minute-by-minute happenings of what may end up being this season's only A-list awards ceremony.

Coverage starts at bottom, so scroll all the way down and work your way up.

9:49 p.m.: Helen Mirren isn't here to present Lead Actor either and I'm heartbroken. Kate Hudson and Matthew McConaughey will not do!
