SAG You're It!

Since the Oscar race inaugurated a shortened season back in 2004, it has really changed the landscape of December. Now there is almost a daily critics' group deciding on the year's best and weekly series of major nominations. It's almost too much to handle, but not quite! Here are my SAG predictions, which pretty much mirror my post Globe Oscar predictions. If there are any surprises I think they will come from Frank Langella, Jodie Foster, John Travolta, and Allison Janney.

Predictions:

Best Ensemble:

Juno
No Country for Old Men
Hairspray
Atonement
Sweeney Todd

Best Actor:

Johnny Depp - Sweeney Todd
James McAvoy - Atonement
Viggo Mortensen - Eastern Promises
Daniel Day Lewis - There Will Be Blood
George Clooney - Michael Clayton

Best Actress:

Laura Linney - The Savages
Marion Cotillard - La Vie En Rose
Amy Adams - Enchanted
Ellen Page - Juno
Julie Christie - Away from Her

Best Supporting Actor:

Tom Wilkinson - Michael Clayton
Hal Holbrook - Into the Wild
Javier Bardem - No Country for Old Men
Casey Affleck - The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford
Tommy Lee Jones - No Country for Old Men

Best Supporting Actress:

Jennifer Garner - Juno
Cate Blanchett - I'm Not There
Amy Ryan - Gone Baby Gone
Soarise Ronan - Atonement
Tilda Swinton - Michael Clayton

I hope to see some out of left field picks because the daily critics list of Daniel Day Lewis, Julie Christie, Javier Bardem, and Amy Ryan is seriously starting to bore me!
