22nd Screen Actors Guild Awards - Screen Actors Guild Life Achievement Award
Carol Burnett
The Screen Actors Guild Life Achievement Award is given by the Screen Actors Guild's National Honors and Tributes Committee "for outstanding achievement in fostering the finest ideals of the acting profession." The award predates the 1st Screen Actors Guild Awards by over thirty years, having been presented annually since 1962, except for 1964 and 1981.
Carol Creighton Burnett (born April 26, 1933) is an American actress, comedian, singer, and writer. She is best known for her long-running TV variety show, The Carol Burnett Show, for CBS. She has achieved success on stage, television, and film in varying genres including dramatic and comedy roles.
Born in San Antonio, Texas to alcoholic parents, Burnett moved with her grandmother to Hollywood, where she attended Hollywood High School and eventually studied theater and musical comedy at UCLA. Later she performed in nightclubs in New York City and had a breakout success on Broadway in 1959 in Once Upon a Mattress, for which she received a Tony Award nomination. She soon made her television debut, regularly appearing on The Garry Moore Show for the next three years, and won her first Emmy Award in 1962. Burnett moved to Los Angeles, California, and began an 11-year run as star of The Carol Burnett Show on CBS television from 1967 to 1978. With its vaudeville roots, The Carol Burnett Show was a variety show that combined comedy sketches with song and dance. The comedy sketches included film parodies and character pieces. Burnett created many memorable characters during the show's television run, and both she and the show won numerous Emmy and Golden Globe Awards.
During and after her variety show, Burnett appeared in many television and film projects. Her film roles include Pete 'n' Tillie (1972), The Four Seasons (1981), Annie (1982), Noises Off (1992), and Horton Hears a Who! (2008). On television, she has appeared in other sketch shows; in dramatic roles in 6 Rms Riv Vu (1974) and Friendly Fire (1979); in various well-regarded guest roles, such as in Mad About You, for which she won an Emmy Award; and in specials with Julie Andrews, Dolly Parton, Beverly Sills, and others. She also returned to the Broadway stage in 1995 in Moon Over Buffalo, for which she was again nominated for a Tony Award.

Gay Iconography: The Legacy Of Rickie Vasquez
From: Towleroad
The phrase "gay icon" gets tossed around a lot, but what does that really mean? Welcome to Gay Iconography, a new feature where we present a proposed iconic figure or character and then ask you to weigh in with your thoughts. Last week, we discussed Roseanne and received lots of interesting responses about her work, her legacy and her more recent controversial comments about the trans community. If you missed it, you can join that conversation here. This week's installment shifts its focus to another '90s ABC series.
Even though it only lasted one season, My So-Called Life is one of the most beloved television shows of all time. Its realistic portrayal of the teenage experience extended beyond just the ennui, awkward first loves and Manic Panic dye jobs. It also encompassed the show's deft handling of hot-button topics that were allowed to unfold over the course of several episodes and often avoided the kind of hokey happy ending that plagued "very special episodes" on other series.
Chief among the issues tackled by MSCL was the ongoing coming out process of Rickie Vasquez. The show's commitment to authentic adolescent storytelling ensured he never became just the eyeliner-adorned B.F.F. in the girls' room, nor was he only reduced to his tragic backstory. If Rickie was a proto-Kurt Hummel, he did it with just as much style, but more heart and much less support. Not to mention the significance of Rickie being a queer person of color on primetime network TV played by an out actor (Wilson Cruz) in 1994.
Revisit some key Rickie moments from the show, and share your thoughts, below …
Rickie's Got A Gun: Angela (Homeland's Claire Danes) confronts Rickie about a rumor that he brought a gun to school. Turns out, he's behind the rumor himself in an effort to get folks to stop harassing him at school.
The Other Person's Perfectness
One of the things that makes Rickie so lovable is that he's a hopeless romantic. While this clip contains his advice to Angela, it reveals so much about his own insecurities and relationship fears.
Gimme Shelter
Still with nowhere else to go, a gay teacher tries to get Rickie set up in local shelters. When that doesn't work out, he takes him in himself. In light of the recent discussion around ENDA, the portion when Mr. Kitimski (Jeff Perry) weighs the implications of a gay teacher taking in a gay student still feels relevant nearly two decades later.
Just Dance
Ricky's dance with Delia is his opportunity to proudly put himself out there and not care if he's blending in. Once you've seen this clip, it's hard to ever hear Haddaway's "What Is Love" without imagining Rickie and Delia vogueing in a high school gymnasium.
What do you think? Did My So-Called Life's tendency toward teenage navel-gazing make Rickie feel endearingly realistic, or did you never connect with the character? Tell us why you think Rickie Vasquez is (or isn't) an iconic gay character in the comments.
