The SAG Awards 2017

This blog was originally written on January 30th 2017 which was one day after the awards . Sorry for the delay , you can totally blame it on me this time enjoy!!

Mr.Bee

For those of you that don’t know , the Screen Actors Guild and the American Federation of Film and Television Artists (SAG - AFTRA) held the 23rd Screen Actors Guild Award . Now here’s my thoughts on the ceremony: (let’s first get to the big elephant in the room) - about 75 % of all the people on the stage last night made some kind of a political statement. Due to this being such a controversial issue it’s best for me to stay out of it to avoid losing readers. The ceremony as a whole (albeit a bit political) was a pretty good show. The In Memoriam segment was great and considering how many people died last year, there were moments that made me tear up a little bit. Now lets get to the winners.

Best Suppoting Actress

Viola Davis for Fences who is a lock for the Oscars

Best Supporting Actor

Mahershala Ali for Moonlight is also a lock for the Oscars

Best Actress

Emma Stone for Lala land - Going back to what I said in my last blog, I said that the best actress race at the Oscars is a 3 way race. It is still a 3 way race but Emma Stone is just narrowly ahead.

Best Actor

Just when we thought we had a clear front runner the SAGS decided to throw us off by giving the award to Denzel Washington . Casey Aflack could still win the Oscar but Denzel Washington is a really tough competition. The good news for Aflack is that Denzel is not nominated at BAFTA .

Best Acting Ensemble

The award went to Hidden Figures . This is the SAG’s best picture category, so it could theoretically pull out a Best Picture win.   However,  there is one major thing going against it and that is that it does not have a directing nomination. Only 4 movies in history have won  best picture without having a directing nomination and they are  Wings (1927) , Grand Hotel (1932) , Driving Miss Daisy (1989), and Argo (2012).  In the SAG’s 22 year history they have only predicted The Best Picture Award correctly 12 times.

Well thanks for joining me. You have until February 28th to get a movie submitted for my end of the year poll . Goodnight and Bee Happy!™
