This year’s Screen Actors Guild Awards are officially behind us, and the list of winners was full of delightful predictability but also a few welcome surprises. Something you can usually rely on is the fact that those nominees who end up taking home a SAG Award are typically the favorites to win the Academy Award as well, so if you’ve got an Oscars pool going this year, make note of certain names in particular to see who takes home the gold statuette to put on their shelf alongside their Actor’s trophy.
2021’s SAG Award nominations were somewhat of a surprise on both the awarding and the snubbing front. Minari and Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom led the pack in terms of total nominations, while on the television side, Bridgerton and I May Destroy You, two series that failed to receive Golden Globe recognition, earned nominations. Meanwhile, actors who picked up Globes in their respective categories, such as Anya Taylor-Joy in the limited series The Queen’s Gambit, were also nominated again. However, Sacha Baron Cohen, who won a Globe for his lead role in Borat Subsequent Moviefilm, was actually nominated this time around in a supporting capacity for The Trial of the Chicago 7.
