After the SAG nominations I polled the team on six questions about the SAG nominations. One of them gets its own post (being a big topic we'll be discussing for some time still). But here are the general reactions to the other five questions from love to loathing to which OUTSTANDING CAST table we'd like to sit at...

While there are surely more impactful surprises to discuss on the film side of things today, it’s great to see an interesting list of television options honored too.

Will the size and stardom of DON'T LOOK UP make it a SAG favourite?
Because this season has had so little drama, let's have a little fun with punditry instead of being concerned with being correct. Let's predict one surprise in ALL of the Screen Actors Guild movie categories. This was hard to do as the natural instinct is to be "as correct / as prescient" as possible and there obviously won't be a surprise in EVERY category. That just doesn't happen.
But it was the challenge we set ourselves, so here we go...
