SAG Dix

SAG announces Wednesday, DGA on Thursday, PGA on Friday, and Globes on Sunday. Will be doing predictions for all throughout the week. 

This might be a year with a very small overlap with the Oscars. SAG has never been overly good to performances in foreign films, and this year we have 5 potential noms. They gave Parasite the Ensemble award, which was the first sign of how big it would be. They also nominated Marion Cotillard for her Oscar-winning performance. Outside of those, their track record with non-English performers is spotty at best. So where that leaves Sentimental Value and The Secret Agent's performers remains to be seen. I insisted Sandra Hüller would make it here two years ago for Anatomy of a Fall, and she missed. If those spots open up to others, how well does Wicked: For Good do? If it's blanked here, Cynthia and Ariana are most likely done for good. (Har har!)

Male Actor in a Supporting Role:
Del Toro - Elordi - Mescal - Penn - Skarsgård

I'm sticking with Stellan. If Lindo wants to make the Oscar lineup, he has to show up here. I really hope it's not Sandler, but this org loves Netflix.

Female Actor in a Supporting Role:
Fanning - Grande - Madigan - Mosaku - Taylor
alt: Blunt
Not sure about this beyond Amy & Teyana. Haven't seen Sentimental Value yet, but I think all (most?) of Elle's performance is in English? If Ingrid does make it, she's safely in third. A'Zion needs this to stay in the game. 

Male Actor in a Leading Role:
Chalamet - DiCaprio - Edgerton - Hawke - Jordan

Female Actor in a Leading Role:
Buckley - Byrne - Erivo - Hudson - Infiniti

Swap out Cynthia for Renate and that's probably the Oscar lineup.

Ensemble: 
Hamnet - Marty Supreme - One Battle After Another - Sinners - Wicked: For Good
alt: Sentimental Value
People are predicting Frankenstein, which would be a good sign if it makes it.
