SAG Winner Predictions: Best Ensemble in a Motion Picture


The nominees: “American Gangster”, “Hairspray”, “Into the Wild”, “No Country for Old Men”, and “3:10 to Yuma”.
Who’s not here; “Before the Devil Knows You’re Dead”, “Gone Baby Gone”, “Juno”, and “Sweeney Todd”.
For your information: “Hairspray” and “3:10 to Yuma” have no individual performers nominated. The winner last year in this category was “Little Miss Sunshine”. Out of these fine, only one is nominated for the Oscar for Best Picture (“No Country for Old Men”).
Who should win: “American Gangster” and “3:10 to Yuma” do not belong here. Out of this bunch, definitely “Hairspray”.
Who will win: The individual cast members in No Country for Old Men are great, but I think the true ensemble that is Hairspray will win out here. The shut-out for “Hairspray” at the Oscars is not a great sign, but “The Birdcage” still won in 1996 after a mere one nomination (art direction) at the Oscars.
