2017 SAG Awards Nomination Predictions

December 08, 2017 by Andrew Carden in SAG

Oh hell yes! The Screen Actors Guild Awards are never easy to predict, at least in nominations, which is why I so enjoy them. This is, after all, the guild that recognized the likes of Hank Azaria in The Birdcage, Stockard Channing in Smoke, Cloris Leachman in Spanglish, Gena Rowlands in Unhook the Stars and Gwen Verdon in Marvin's Room, which virtually no other precursor had them on their radar.

Odds are, there will be at least one eyebrow-raising nominee on SAG nominations morning. (Last year, it was Emily Blunt in The Girl on the Train that left awards season junkies giggling.) Could it be living legends Jane Fonda and/or Robert Redford in Our Souls at Night? How about Debra Winger in The Lovers? Or perhaps even a posthumous nod for Carrie Fisher in Star Wars: The Last Jedi or Harry Dean Stanton in Lucky? There are plenty of obscure possibilities here.

With that said, here's what I'm thinking goes down, from most to least likely to be nominated. Feel free, of course, to comment with your own predictions too!

2016 Screen Actors Guild Awards nominations predictions

December 09, 2016 by Andrew Carden in SAG

The Screen Actors Guild Awards are never easy to predict, at least when it comes to nominations. This is the group, after all, that nominated the likes of Cloris Leachman in Spanglish; Meg Ryan in When a Man Loves a Woman; Hank Azaria in The Birdcage; Stockard Channing in Smoke; Gwen Verdon in Marvin's Room; Judi Dench in The Shipping News; and BOTH Gena Rowlands and Marisa Tomei in Unhook the Stars.

It is all but guaranteed there will be at least one real eyebrow-raiser of a nominee on SAG nominations morning. Could it be Warren Beatty in Rules Don't Apply? Margo Martindale in The Hollars? There are plenty of obscure contenders lurking around the corners of these categories.

With that said, here's my hunch on how the SAG nominations go down. Of course feel free to comment with your own thoughts as well!
