The Oscars may be film’s grandest night, but the Screen Actor’s Guild Awards is the occasion which garners the most respect within the acting community.
Unlike the Academy Awards where all are allowed to vote, the SAGs are actors voting for actors, meaning that the recognition comes from one’s peers.
With nominations for the 25th Annual SAG Awards now being released, A Star is Born looks set to brighten the night as it leads with 4.
Amongst the nods are Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Leading Role for Lady Gaga, Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Leading Role for Bradley Cooper, Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Supporting Role for Sam Elliot, and Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture.
The last category is often an accurate indicator of what will win Best Picture at the Oscars — having only been wrong once in the last 20 years.
The Favourite also scored well, picking up acting nominations for Olivia Colman, Rachel Weisz, and Emma Stone.
Despite being slammed by critics, Queen biopic, Bohemian Rhapsody scored a nod for Best Ensemble and Best Actor for its lead, Rami Malek.
The 2019 SAG Awards will be held on the 27th of January.
