A weekend filled with intense Oscar campaigning culminated in the 30th SAG Awards, the first major awards show to be streamed on Netflix. The SAG Award winners, chosen by the 160,000 members of SAG-AFTRA, may offer insights into potential Oscar outcomes, despite the voting differences between the two bodies. Notably, Cillian Murphy's win for best actor over Paul Giamatti at the SAG Awards could indicate a strong chance for Murphy at the Oscars, especially considering his recent BAFTA win.
In the best actress category, Lily Gladstone's SAG Award win adds an interesting twist to the race, as she competes against Emma Stone and Sandra Hüller. Hüller, a potential wild-card contender, has been gaining support among Academy members, raising speculation about a possible upset in the category.
