What Are Each Actor's Chances at Oscars Post-SAG Nominations?

By: Christopher James

After a surprise omission at the SAG Awards, what are Michelle Williams' chances at scoring an Oscar nomination for The Fabelmans?Now that the SAG Awards nominations have been announced, we have a slightly clearer picture of the acting races as we get closer to Oscar nomination morning. I use the word “slightly” because there’s always room for surprises. In fact, last year saw four acting nominees earn Oscar nominations without any precursor citations from the Golden Globes, Critics Choice and SAG Awards.

At this stage of the awards race, we have two questions to ask. Which actor with nominations from all three groups will be snubbed by Oscar? Which actor can sneak in without these precursors?

Best of the 80th Golden Globes. Plus: Complete Winners List

An awards shows on a Tuesday night? Chaos. But we kinda liked it. As the 80th Golden Globes evening began on the red carpet we learned (among other things) that red was the color of the moment, Jenna Ortega choreographed her own (viral) dance for Wednesday, Letitia Wright's favourite movie is I Tonya (of all things!) and Margot Robbie can cry on cue as precisely as Nelly does in Babylon. The night that followed was hit and miss. The hits were familiar: the palpable joy that so many stars expressed at being back in rooms together, the sight of very enthusiastic and possibly drunk tables (Abbott Elementary, Banshees of Inisherin, The Fabelmans and Everything Everywhere All At Once showcased most prominently), and as ever moving speeches, and even a few stellar presenter “bits”.

There were misses, too, including at least four absent winners (Zendaya, Costner, Seyfried, Blanchett) which always brings the mood down...

The Make-Up Artists & Hair Stylists Guild have announced their nominees in this, their awards' tenth year. Some surprises abound, mainly regarding what films were shut out, but plenty of the Oscar finalists show up throughout their categories. The Batman and Elvis lead with three nominations each, while, in the land of TV, American Horror Stories and Pam & Tommy rule over with triple nods. Though, if one wants to point towards the MUAHS favorite production, we must venture into their Live programming portion, where Legendary dominates with a total of five nominations. HBO recently canceled the show, so it's good to see it go out with a bang among the guilds.

After the jump, discover the full list of nominees and some stray observations…

"Banshees" and "Everything Everywhere" lead the SAG Nominations

by Nathaniel R

EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE scores 5 SAG nominations. One for each hot dog finger on a hand

It’s a rapidly changing world. This year’s 29th annual SAG Awards are leaving their usual home on cable for a live stream on Netflix’s YouTube channel. The 30th edition a full year from now will set the new norm (?) as SAG will begin streaming live globally on Netflix. That potentially means more viewers given Netflix’s popularity and reach, and it potentially means less as awards shows continue their trending to more niche entertainment that's exclusively for us obsessive awards nerds despite its annual attempts to appeal to everyone.

But we’re here to discuss the nominations which are upon us...

Are you watching the Golden Globes tonight?

On the red carpet Natasha Lyonne is a complete joy, marvelling at her career ('slow and steady wins the race!'). While Laverne Cox is still giving complete chaos as an interviewer, it's generated some fun moments like this exchange with her Orange is the New Black co-star.

LAVERNE: What story are you talling us with this look?

NATASHA: I'm telling you rain-proof. Noah's Ark could come and I'd be ready in my two zebras: Givenchy. David Webb.

LAVERNE COX: This is how you prepare for Noah's Ark?

NATASHA: Well you know that from the Bible. It's all right there in black and white so I'm just following God's wishes as usual.

We'll be back later with a rundown of best moments, the best tables (which one will have the most fun?), and the winners but for now use this space to discuss the red carpet and the big night.
