2017 SAG Awards Nomination Predictions

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!
