Idris Elba took home the trophy for best supporting actor. Sylvester Stallone, considered the front-runner in the same Oscar category, wasn’t even nominated at the SAG awards, perhaps because the Creed momentum didn’t really pick up until after their nomination ballots were in. Or maybe it’s just because he’s crap and he’s never acted a day in his life.
Last weekend The Big Short took home the top prize at the Producers Guild awards, but it was Spotlight proving they’re still neck in neck, taking home the top SAG award (outstanding performance by a cast) and
boosting their success rate to about 10/20 now. Next weekend the Directors Guild will add their considerable voice to the tally, and they tend to be better predictors than almost anybody. Either way I’m angry – neither of these was the best thing I saw last year, and neither would probably breech my top 10.
Otherwise it was pretty standard: Leo won. Brie Larson won. Alicia Vikander won over Kate Winslet for supporting work in a role that is clearly anything but (she’s great in The Danish Girl, but that’s a lead role if we’re being honest, which apparently we aren’t).
Mad Max: Fury Road was justifiably honoured for outstanding action performance by an ensemble.
And the stuff that really matters: who looked pretty.
SAG loser but style winner Helen Mirren
Damn. Kate Winslet, born to vamp.

Oh my back is bitchy and I’m still attached by tubes to the damn wound vacuum and will be for a while yet. Long, annoying recovery.

Glad to hear Idris Elba won. I saw Spotlight recently and loved it. Thought it was so well done. I’d still put The Revenant above it for best picture, but for me Spotlight was a close second. It’s Mad Max Fury Road I could have done without. But don’t tell my son that…

You know,I get tired of seeing all those women in the same style dresses. Don’t any of them have imaginations? rolls eyes… I’d rather make a name for myself by looking like a wingnut than looking like everyone else. (Just being catty, of course… 😀 )

Nice post. The big short was slightly off, and it’s clearly a surprise winner as you have mentioned.
