 SAG Discussion Thread
The last stand for Benjamin Button, Slumdog really doesn't deserve Ensemble and while I think it can win without it, this would at least hold off the end.
Best Actor is probably the most important, I could see Penn, Rourke, and Langella all winning. Here are the full noms:
Actor Richard Jenkins Frank Langella Sean Penn Brad Pitt Mickey Rourke
Actress Anne Hathaway Angelina Jolie Melissa Leo Meryl Streep Kate Winslet, Rev Road
Supporting Actor Josh Brolin Robert Downey Jr. Philip Seymour Hoffman Heath Ledger Dev Patel
Supporting Actress Amy Adams Penelope Cruz Viola Davis Taraji P. Henson Kate Winslet
Ensemble Benjamin Button Doubt Frost/Nixon Milk Slumdog Millionaire

 Re: SAG anticipation/discussion thread
I think it's between Milk and Slumdog Millionaire.

 Re: SAG anticipation/discussion thread
I wonder if they flew in the entire nominated "Slumdog" ensemble (including the child actors/actresses supposedly found on the streets of Mumbai) for these awards...

 Re: SAG anticipation/discussion thread
I think Stunt Ensemble would definitely go to The Dark Knight.
Would that award be handed out on-screen?

 Re: SAG anticipation/discussion thread
Kate Winslet for Revolutionary Road.
The Oscars already fucked over last year's best performance. Let's hope SAG doesn't make the same mistake.

 Re: SAG anticipation/discussion thread
I see them giving Supporting to Kate and going for Meryl in Lead here. I, of course, may be wrong.
What channel are these on tonight?

Hmm, I don't think Slumdog Millionaire will win Ensemble. Just doesn#t seem one of its strengths really. Not even among the supporters.
I see Milk winning Ensemble, actually. Then again, Doubt has FOUR acting noms, soi they obviously did like the Ensemble. It's between the two.
I predict:
Best Actor
Sean Penn
Best Actress
Meryl Streep
Best Supporting Actor
Heath Ledger
Best Supporting Actress
Kate Winslet
Best Ensemble
Milk

 Re: SAG anticipation/discussion thread
I guess we should turn this into the official thread for the show.
Fun fact, Ernest Borgnine is one of the presenters tonight. Considering what he did/said about Brokeback Mountain, it would be great if he had to award Penn or Milk.

 Re: SAG anticipation/discussion thread
If Milk wins Ensemble (and Actor, which I assume it would do in the scenario of winning Ensemble), then we could have a little suspense going into the Oscar night.
If Benjamin Button wins Ensemble, we could have some suspense going into WGA.
If Doubt wins Ensemble, Slumdog is locked up for BP since it will mean no consensus behind either Milk or BB.
If Slumdog wins Ensemble, we'll be looking at a big sweep on the Oscar night.
There is no chance Frost/Nixon will win.

 Re: SAG anticipation/discussion thread
"Curious Case" will win tonight, beginning a resurgence in the race.

 Re: SAG anticipation/discussion thread
Glancing at the Ensemble nominations, I wonder why: - why weren't Saurabh Shukla and Ankur Vikal included in the "Slumdog" ensemble. The former played the portly constable who aids in the interrogation of Older Jamal and the latter plays the Fagin-esque gangster who finds slum children and turns them into blind singing beggars. - why Joseph Foster wasn't included in the Doubt ensemble. He played the student Father Flynn (Hoffman) is suspected of molesting. And it would have been hilarious if Anita Bryant had been included in the Milk ensemble.

 Re: SAG anticipation/discussion thread
It's not SAG related but on the same token, I'm still wondering why Danny Boyle isn't sharing his Best Director wins with co-director Loveleen Tandan. That's some shady shit there.

pick your poison, either E! or TV Guide Channel for the Red Carpet specials. Both are populated with idiots.
