SAG Winner Predictions: Best Ensemble Cast

The competition: Birdman, Boyhood, The Grand Budapest Hotel, The Imitation Game, The Theory of Everything

For your information: “Birdman” has three performers nominated plus one of its stars nominated for another film. “Boyhood,” “The Imitation Game,” and “The Theory of Everything” each have two, and “The Grand Budapest Hotel” has none, which is not an impediment to winning. “The Grand Budapest Hotel” triumphed over “Birdman” for Best Motion Picture – Comedy/Musical at the Golden Globes, and “Boyhood” beat the other two films for Best Motion Picture – Drama.

Who should win: All pretty decent choices, but it needs to be “Birdman.”

Who will win: It’s “The Grand Budapest Hotel” against Birdman, which I think SAG voters will prefer.
