Film:

Supporting Actor - Christoph Waltz, Inglourious Basterds
Supporting Actress - Mo'nique, Precious

Those two are 99.9% locked.

Lead Actor - Jeff Bridges, Crazy Heart

Might lose to Clooney due to the film not being seen by guild's membership.

Lead Actress - Sandra Bullock, The Blind Side

If Streep wins, it's smooth sailing to Oscar. But since she won last year, I think the voters will reward Bullock for having such a great year. (Not including All About Steve)

Ensemble - Inglourious Basterds

Precious could easily take it. It has a primarily American cast that is diverse. The problem is that, outside of Mo' and Sidibe, most of the roles are small or played by musicians. I give Basterds the edge given it has a larger ensemble cast, and the surprise nod for Kruger might be telling of its support. However, it is also an international cast, and that might hurt it a bit. If Hurt Locker can pull off an upset here, I'll go ahead and say it wins Best Picture at the Oscars.


The SAG awards are usually pretty boring. I thought they were kinda fun last year because of Meryl Streep's The Price Is Right entrance when she won.
