Final SAG Winner Predictions


After the disappointment of the Oscar nominations, I would love to see winners in every category tonight that aren’t nominated for Oscars. Truth be told, it’s really just Tom Hanks, who I thinks very much deserves the Best Actor in a Leading Role trophy (though Dern or Ejiofor are fine too). Given that I had predicted Hanks to win the Globe and he didn’t and I already had McConaughey slated to win this award before the Globes even happened, I think that category is mostly sewn up. Blanchett and Leto are solid, and I’m predicting Oprah to take it over Lawrence, though Nyongo easily could too. As for ensemble, a victory for “12 Years a Slave” would all but assure its Best Picture chances, while the likely choice of “American Hustle” will continue building that film’s buzz all the way to the Oscar Best Picture upset I really hope doesn’t happen.

I may or may not tune in to part of the broadcast online before an evening screening at Sundance. Enjoy final predictions below (TV here), and offer your thoughts in the comments!
