SAG Predictions: Best Male Actor in a Supporting Role

Last year’s nominees: Tom Hanks (A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood), Anthony Hopkins (The Two Popes), Al Pacino (The Irishman), Joe Pesci (The Irishman), Brad Pitt (Once Upon a Time in Hollywood)

I’m making predictions for SAG, which will announce its picks on Thursday, February 4th, just after the Golden Globe nominations being unveiled on Wednesday, though I may revise them then if there are some big surprises. The real question here is how many actors from the same two films will be nominated. Sacha Baron Cohen (The Trial of the Chicago 7) is probably ahead of castmates like Yahya Abdul-Mateen II (The Trial of the Chicago 7), Eddie Redmayne (The Trial of the Chicago 7), Mark Rylance (The Trial of the Chicago 7), and Frank Langella (The Trial of the Chicago 7). Similarly, Leslie Odom Jr. (One Night in Miami) has a likely leg up on Aldis Hodge (One Night in Miami). Beyond those two films, look for Bill Murray (On the Rocks), Daniel Kaluuya (Judas and the Black Messiah), Paul Raci (Sound of Metal), David Strathairn (Nomadland), and potential double nominee Chadwick Boseman (Da 5 Bloods).

Current predictions:
Sacha Baron Cohen (The Trial of the Chicago 7)
Chadwick Boseman (Da 5 Bloods)
Daniel Kaluuya (Judas and the Black Messiah)
Bill Murray (On the Rocks)
Leslie Odom Jr. (One Night in Miami)
