Share

The ballots for nominations in the Screen Actors Guild Awards go into the mail tomorrow. And so awards season begins. Of course, several movies have not been seen yet including Les Miserables, Zero Dark Thirty, Django Unchained a couple more. SAG voters this round are on nominating committees. They pare down all the different possible candidates into a ballot that the membership votes on after nominations. The SAG Awards take place on January 27th. and pretty much indicate the direction of Academy voters since a lot of them are also in SAG. And the biggest SAG Award is Best Ensemble. That’s going to be a tight race. Silver Linings Playbook, Argo, Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, The Master, and Lincoln are certainly the strongest contenders.
