All SAG members (some 165,000 actors) are eligible to vote for the SAG Awards. This year, many of the performance-only awards followed suit with what we saw at the Golden Globes earlier this week. Matthew McConaughey and Jared Leto both won for “Dallas Buyers Club” as did Cate Blanchett for her career-best work in “Blue Jasmine.”
While David O. Russell’s “American Hustle” did win the top honor – best overall performance by a cast – no individual actor was honored in any of the categories. The SAG Awards deviated from the Globes by handing the award for Female Actor in a Supporting Role to Lupita Nyong’o in “12 Years a Slave,” rather than Jennifer Lawrence in “American Hustle”. Nyong’o’s work as a slave both abused and treasured by a monstrous slave master (played by Michael Fassbender) has been widely acclaimed with particular attention called to the fact that it is her first film role.
Moving forward to the awards season finale at the Academy Awards on March 2nd, favorites in many categories have developed, priming each acting award for an upset should the Academy decide to break the trending winners of the year. Keep in touch with us over the next month as we chat about the nominees leading up the big ceremony, and check out the full list of winners from the 20th Screen Actors Guild Awards below.
