2016 Screen Actors Guild Awards nominations predictions

December 08, 2016 by Andrew Carden in SAG Awards

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!
