You may enjoy romancing the Oscars. However, it’s only fair to remind people that Oscar’s Actor, Actress, Supporting Actor, and Supporting Actress winners tend to align quite well with the Screen Actors Guild Awards. Oscar’s Best Director & Best Picture align well with the Directors Guild Award (DGA).
This year’s SAG awards went to actor Will Smith (King Richard), actress Jessica Chastain (The Eyes of Tammy Faye), supporting actor Troy Kotsur (CODA), & supporting actress Ariana DeBose (West Side Story). Expect maybe all 4 to win Oscars. Note: SAG nominated Lady Gaga (House of Gucci) & Jennifer Hudson (Respect [as Aretha Franklin]) were passed over for Oscar’s actress nominations. The 5 SAG actor nominees all received Oscar nominations. The SAG nominated Caitriona Balfe (Belfast) & Cate Blanchett (Nightmare Alley) were passed over for Oscar supporting actress nominations. 3 SAG nominees for supporting actor didn’t receive Oscar nods: Ben Affleck (The Tender Bar), Bradley Cooper (Licorice Pizza), and Jared Leto (House of Gucci).
The Directors Guild Award went to Jane Campion (The Power of the Dog). Expect her to win Oscar’s Best Director and her film to win Best Picture.
