Screen Actors Guild predictions

Here they go. Trying to guess what the Screen Actors will do is usually easy, but not so much this year with all but 1 catergory up in the air.

Best Ensemble. The SAG's like comedys alot. Perhaps because all actors know that comedy is hard. Sidways, The Full Monty, The Birdcage, Gosford Park, Shakespear in Love, Chicago (a musical, but still in the same field). So in the past 11 years a comedy/musical have won the ensemble award. So barring Bobby winning, we are looking at the winner being the only true ensemble of the group:

Winner - Little Miss Sunshine

Best Supporting Actress. Helps to have a film nominated in Best Ensemble. Check Abigail Breslin, the Babel women, and Hudson. Helps to be a respected veterin or a head line grabbing bright young thing. Hudson the latter.

Winner - Jennifer Hudson just barely makes it though. Breslin or Kikuchi could still upset.

Best Supporting Actor. This usually goes to a respected actor who has been around. Tim Robbins, Iam McKellen, Christopher Walken, Albert Finney, Paul Giamatti, Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine, Robert Duvall, Robin williams, Ed Harris, Martin Landau. The only deviation has bee Cuba Goodig Jr. This race is down to Alan Arkin, Eddie Murphy, and Leonardo DiCaprio.

Winner - Expect Leo to take this one due to category fraud. (but Arkin and Murphy can still upset)

Best Actress...Ohhh difficult

Winner - Helen Mirren (unless they think she has already won for Gosford Park, and want to get Meryl up there. Unlikely...but food for thought)

Best Actor. Hmmm With Leo out of the way, and Ryan Gosling sitting this one out for now it looks like a 3 way race between Will Smith, Forest Whitaker and Peter O'Toole. It could really be any of these, but I am thinking they may want to award O'Toole. They didn't nominated Smith for Ali so the love is not over flowing there. The do like actors playing real like (Hoffman, Crowe) but they also like comedy (Depp, Benigni, Nicolson) I think O'Toole may just about take this. Last and only time the actors guild are likely to award him.

Winner - Peter O'Toole
