Last night (27th January), the Screen Actors' Guild Awards were announced. Here are the film winners:
Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture:
Black Panther
Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Leading Role:
Rami Malek (Bohemian Rhapsody)
Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Leading Role:
Glenn Close (The Wife)
Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Supporting Role:
Mahershala Ali (Green Book)
Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Supporting Role:
Emily Blunt (A Quiet Place)
Outstanding Action Performance by a Stunt Ensemble in a Film:
Black Panther
A couple of interesting results from the night. No surprises in Mahershala Ali and Glenn Close's wins. I do however find it interesting that SAG went for Rami Malek for Best Actor. That, and the Golden Globe win, must put him ahead in the Oscars race. Also, I was pleased to see Emily Blunt named Best Supporting Actress. She's an actress that I like and enjoy watching and it's also good to see A Quiet Place get a bit of recognition.
Before anyone starts shitposting that the End is Nigh because Black Panther did so well, I want to point something out. The other nominees in the Outstanding Cast category (equivalent to their Best Picture) were A Star Is Born, BlacKkKlansman, Bohemian Rhapsody, and Crazy Rich Asians. Green Book, and Roma- two films with very good chances of taking the Best Picture Oscar- were not nominated for that particular SAG award. As good as a film as I think Black Panther is, I would argue that it's the least likely of the eight Oscar nominees to win.
Our next stop on Awards Season is the Directors' Guild (DGA) Awards this coming Saturday (2nd February).
