The SAG Award Winners


The Screen Actor's Guild Awards took place this past Saturday, and nothing about it on the film side was unpredictable. Of course, like in every ceremony that honors TV, there were a few surprises on that side. Things are still crazy though, and a lot has yet to unfold.

Two things to keep in mind about the SAG awards; One, Best Acting Ensemble is equivalent to Best Picture. Two, the acting branch of the Academy is the largest branch, so basically the actors have more say on who wins. The Screen Actors Guild has many Academy members. So we may see this same group of actors winning at the Oscars, it is possible that there could be upsets.....but as of now they are the strongest Oscar contenders.
