SCREEN ACTORS GUILD AWARDS 2018 – PREDICTIONS

While Kristen Bell prepares to take the stage as the first ever host of the SAG Awards, let’s take a look at the nominees, as I make my predictions

TELEVISION PREDICTIONS

Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series

THE CROWN

GAME OF THRONES

THE HANDMAID’S TALE

STRANGER THINGS

THIS IS US

Normally I would say that the Guild will repeat a STRANGER THINGS win, as they often tend to repeat winners. However, this year, THE HANDMAID’S TALE is extremely strong, and with fantastic performances by even the supporting cast. So I think that’s the ensemble that’ll win.

Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series

BLACK-ISH

CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM

GLOW

ORANGE IS THE NEW BLACK

VEEP

VEEP is still quite relevant talked about. Even though it’s quite possible that the Guild sticks with the ensemble that has won this for the last three years—ORANGE IS THE NEW BLACK—I have a feeling they’ll finally award the stellar performances by the cast of VEEP.

Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Drama Series

Millie Bobby Brown, STRANGER THINGS

Claire Foy, THE CROWN

Laura Linney, OZARK

Elisabeth Moss, THE HANDMAID’S TALE

Robin Wright, HOUSE OF CARDS

Elisabeth Moss, for sure! The SAG were not so generous to her during the MAD MEN days, but I don’t think they’ll be able to overlook her devastating performance as a handmaid.  

Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Drama Series

Jason Bateman, OZARK

Sterling K. Brown, THIS IS US

Peter Dinklage, GAME OF THRONES

David Harbour, STRANGER THINGS

Bob Odenkirk, BETTER CALL SAUL

This is a tough one. There can’t be a repeat winner here, since none of these roles have won before. Since last year’s winning role was a supporting role (John Lithgow for THE CROWN), I wouldn’t rule even Harbour out this year. Brown has a winning streak going, but he hasn’t won an Actor for THIS before. Still, I think the odds are in his favor. I think it’ll be Brown.

Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Comedy Series

Uzo Aduba, ORANGE IS THE NEW BLACK

Alison Brie, GLOW

Jane Fonda, GRACE AND FRANKIE

Julia Louis-Dreyfus, VEEP

Lily Tomlin, GRACE AND FRANKIE

If this was the Globes, I would predict Alison Brie, but the SAG loves repeating winners, so I’m going with Julia Louis-Dreyfus. I predict this because the buzz surrounding VEEP is still strong, while people have practically forgotten about ORANGE (Aduba has won this one twice before).  

Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Comedy Series

Anthony Anderson, BLACK-ISH

Aziz Ansari, MASTER OF NONE

Larry David, CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM

Sean Hayes, WILL & GRACE

William H. Macy, SHAMELESS

Marc Maron, GLOW

This category can go in any direction. One could say that Macy or Hayes could win, since they’ve both won multiple times before. David hasn’t won before, so he’s out. Ansari won the Globe, but he’s had bad press recently, so maybe he’s out too. Anderson could win, but I doubt it. Maron won’t. I think Hayes will win. He’s won thrice before for this role, and the SAG is probably just waiting to hand him more Actor statuettes for it (remember Alec Baldwin winning seven years straight?).

Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Television Movie or Miniseries

Laura Dern, BIG LITTLE LIES

Nicole Kidman, BIG LITTLE LIES

Jessica Lange, FEUD: BETTE & JOAN

Susan Sarandon, FEUD: BETTE & JOAN

Reese Witherspoon, BIG LITTLE LIES

The Emmy and the Golden Globe went to her, and the Actor will go to Nicole Kidman too. I don’t think anyone predicts otherwise.

Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Television Movie or Miniseries

Benedict Cumberbatch, SHERLOCK

Jeff Daniels, GODLESS

Robert De Niro, THE WIZARD OF LIES

Geoffrey Rush, GENIUS

Alexander Skarsgård, BIG LITTLE LIES

It’s their year. BIG LITTLE LIES will win here. Yes, even though Skarsgård has a supporting role.

GOLDEN GLOBE AWARDS 2018 – ALL ABOUT THE WOMEN (IN BLACK)

The 75th Golden Globe Awards was far from a jubilee celebration. It was, in fact, quite low-key compared with previous editions of the show. Yes, it was fun and exciting, as ‘Hollywood’s biggest party’ often is, with table seating and booze flowing freely. However, from the word go, it was clear that they weren’t going to try and top the big musical opening of last year’s awards. Of course, it must’ve made a difference that there wasn’t any ‘Cinemascope’-worthy source material like last year’s La La Land. But none of that goes to say that host Seth Meyers was inadequate as emcee. He was in fact quite funny, and he did play well with the unfortunate source material he did have.

FOR THE WOMEN

The abuse in Hollywood informed Meyers’ turn as host, and he didn’t hold back when it came to calling people out on their disgusting behaviour. He even went so far as to say that in 20 years, when we see Harvey Weinstein in the ‘in memoriam’ section, he’ll end up being the first departed Hollywood personality to be booed. And people reacted. It was dark, but it was funny, and true, and Weinstein deserved every bit of being made into a nasty joke.

But everyone was aware that what’s been going on in Hollywood has been far worse than a nasty joke. And that’s why most of the attendees showed up in black, in support of the ‘Time’s up’ movement for the women. The support was overwhelming. While it’s good to see the most fashionable and timeless color in such abundance on the red carpet, it was also encouraging to see that people are not going to forget about this anytime soon. That a shift is taking place, and there will be change.

BY THE WOMEN

Meyers made digs at President Donald Trump too. He said that it had been implied that he had been somewhat responsible for Trump having run for president, by saying at some point that Trump wouldn’t be able to do it. Meyers went on, assuming that was true, and he just put it out there that Oprah wouldn’t be able to do it either. That went beyond reverse psychology when Oprah made an impassioned and powerful speech while accepting her Cecille B. DeMille award. It was deeply informed by the fact that she’s a woman, and a person of color. People would go on to call it her first campaign speech for 2020, and #Oprah2020 soon began trending. While people can speculate over whether she actually decides to run for president, and constantly hope that she does, all we can really do is wait and watch.

Meanwhile, material made by women won big. The Nicole Kidman and Reese Witherspoon-produced BIG LITTLE LIES won four Globes, including best limited series. The Greta Gerwig-directed Lady Bird won two awards, including best picture – musical or comedy. The Margaret Atwood-written story won two Globes, including best series – drama.

OF THE WOMEN

And that wasn’t the extent of it. The power of women was evident through all the big winners of the night. The best picture and series winners are all about women.

Best series – drama: THE HANDMAID’S TALE, a dark satire, portraying the disturbing and extreme disenfranchisement of women

Best series – comedy: THE MARVELOUS MRS. MAISEL, a story about a woman in the 50s who defies norms to do what makes her happy

Best limited series: BIG LITTLE LIES, about a group of women in a small town linked to each other by a secret that was a result of tragic abuse

Best motion picture – drama: Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, a story of a woman who holds local authorities accountable for not doing their job of solving her daughter’s murder

Best motion picture – musical or comedy: Lady Bird, a coming-of-age story of a teenage girl in Sacramento, California

Not only are all of these stories of women, there are some very strong and very relevant themes among them too.

If last year was all about proving that Hollywood isn’t ‘so white’, this year is certainly about proving that time is indeed up. It’s safe to say that this very necessary conversation will color the rest of this awards season as well, much like it did the Globes red carpet.
