SAG Goes Big Time for “Everything Everywhere All at Once,” Points Toward Oscar Sweep

Share

The SAG Awards have spoken and “Everything Everywhere All at Once” is the big winner. Best Ensemble, Actress, and Supporting Actress nods were handed the hottest awards of the night.

The SAG Awards were shown on the Netflix You Tube channel. The behavior of the audience in the ballroom was terrible: no one sat in their seats, so the look on TV was pretty amateurish. Lots of empty seats were kind of a production negative.

Will all these winners win again at the Oscars? I think the only lock is Ke Huy Quan. I still think Best Actor, Actress, and Supporting Actress could alternately go to Austin Butler, Cate Blanchett, and Angela Bassett.

It doesn’t seem like “Everything Everywhere” can lose Best Picture at the Oscars. I loved The Fabelmans but the campaign fell apart. “Tar” is too intellectual. “Top Gun Maverick” is too commercial. Only “Elvis” has a serious shot at this point, but I don’t see it.

James Hong spoke so beautifully tonight when “Everything” won. I remember him doing Jane Wyman’s bidding on “Falcon Crest” 40 — yes, forty — years ago! He’s been working for 70 years. He indicated that he doesn’t understand “EEAAO” either. But the movie has great spirit, and like “Parasite,” brings in a world of artists who’ve not had opportunities. So if it wins, we can appreciate the joyous part of that experience.
