SAG Predictions

Another set of predictions, and once again I'm so unsure. This is such an exciting year, isn't it? So much confusion and hardly any clear frontrunners. But SAG will start to clear things up A LOT in terms of the acting races. Will Leo finally win his first SAG? Is Brie going to sweep? Who's going to win Supporting Actor since Sly isn't around? 

Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture

Beasts of No Nation

The Big Short

Spotlight

Straight Outta Compton

Trumbo

Should Win: Spotlight

Will Win: Spotlight

It's definitely a two horse race between the Big Short and Spotlight, but I'm going to go for Spotlight, even though I'm not overly confident in this pick. 

Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Leading Role

Bryan Cranston, Trumbo

Johnny Depp, Black Mass

Leonardo DiCaprio, The Revenant

Michael Fassbender, Steve Jobs

Eddie Redmayne, The Danish Girl

Should Win: Leonardo DiCaprio

Will Win: Leonardo DiCaprio

I can't see it being anyone other than Leo. The narrative is waaaaay too strong. 

Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Leading Role

Cate Blanchett, Carol

Brie Larson, Room

Helen Mirren, Woman in Gold

Saoirse Ronan, Brooklyn

Sarah Silverman, I Smile Back

Should Win: Saoirse Ronan or Brie Larson

Will Win: Brie Larson

Brie will probably sweep this right? I prefer Saoirse's performance, but not by a lot. Either one is a worthy winner!

Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Supporting Role

Christian Bale, The Big Short

Idris Elba, Beasts of No Nation

Mark Rylance, Bridge of Spies

Michael Shannon, 99 Homes

Jacob Tremblay, Room

Should Win: Jacob Tremblay or Idris Elba

Will Win: Jacob Tremblay

Yep, I'm going out on a huge limb here and predicted Tremblay. He gave that adorable speech at Critics Choice, and I'd love to see that happen again. However, I know it'll probably be Rylance, but I just can't not predict Tremblay for some reason. We'll see how wrong I am come tomorrow night. 

Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Supporting Role

Rooney Mara, Carol

Rachel McAdams, Spotlight

Helen Mirren, Trumbo

Alicia Vikander, The Danish Girl

Kate Winslet, Steve Jobs

Should Win: Rooney Mara

Will Win: Rooney Mara

Again, this is pretty split between Mara and Vikander (with Vikander having a slight upper hand), but I really want Rooney Mara to win. She was so sublime in Carol. Vikander will win one of these days! She's not going away anytime soon!
