SAG AWARDS 2019: TV PREDICTIONS

Maybe we’ll see a lot of repeat wins, maybe it’ll be MAISEL’s and VERSACE’s year, or maybe the SAG Awards will mix it up this year. Here’s what I think will happen

Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series

THE AMERICANS

BETTER CALL SAUL

THE HANDMAID’S TALE

OZARK

THIS IS US

I hope it’s not THIS IS US, but the SAG-AFTRA do tend to repeat winners, a lot, so I think the Pearsons, etc. will be up to collect their Actors again.

Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Drama Series

Julia Garner, OZARK

Laura Linney, OZARK

Elisabeth Moss, THE HANDMAID’S TALE

Sandra Oh, KILLING EVE

Robin Wright, HOUSE OF CARDS

They could finally give this one to Moss, who lost out to Claire Foy over the last two years. However, I think it will be Sandra Oh.

Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Drama Series

Jason Bateman, OZARK

Sterling K. Brown, THIS IS US

Joseph Fiennes, THE HANDMAID’S TALE

John Krasinski, Tom Clancy’s JACK RYAN

Bob Odenkirk, BETTER CALL SAUL

There don’t seem to be any strong frontrunners, so I think they’ll give it again to Sterling K. Brown. The SAG-AFTRA love repeat wins (remember when Alec Baldwin won seven consecutive years for 30 ROCK?). So even though I don’t think Brown deserves it, he will most likely win.

Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series

GLOW

ATLANTA

BARRY

THE KOMINSKY METHOD

THE MARVELOUS MRS. MAISEL

I think thus is MAISEL’s year, especially after it wasn’t recognized last year.

Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Comedy Series

Alison Brie, GLOW

Alex Borstein, THE MARVELOUS MRS. MAISEL

Rachel Brosnahan, THE MARVELOUS MRS. MAISEL

Jane Fonda, GRACE & FRANKIE

Lily Tomlin, GRACE & FRANKIE

Rachel Brosnahan was overlooked last year too. I think the SAG-AFTRA have to more than make it up to her for that. And she definitely deserves it for season two also.

Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Comedy Series

Alan Arkin, THE KOMINSKY METHOD

Michael Douglas, THE KOMINSKY METHOD

Bill Hader, BARRY

Henry Winkler, BARRY

Tony Shaloub, THE MARVELOUS MRS. MAISEL

The SAG-AFTRA like Tony Shaloub. He won twice for MONK. But since he didn’t even make the cut last year, I think they’ll give it to Michael Douglas instead.

Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a TV Movie or Limited Series

Amy Adams, SHARP OBJECTS

Patricia Clarkson, SHARP OBJECTS

Patricia Arquette, ESCAPE AT DANNEMORA

Penélope Cruz, THE ASSASSINATION OF GIANNI VERSACE: AMERICAN CRIME STORY

Emma Stone, MANIAC

I think it’ll be Patricia. Which one? Arquette.

Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a TV Movie or Limited Series

Antonio Banderas, GENIUS: PICASSO

Darren Criss, THE ASSASSINATION OF GIANNI VERSACE: AMERICAN CRIME STORY

Hugh Grant, A VERY ENGLISH SCANDAL

Anthony Hopkins, KING LEAR

Bill Pullman, THE SINNER

This is Darren Criss’ year. He’s taking this one home, just as he did with the Emmy and the Golden Globe.
