SAG Awards: Who will win?

17th Annual Screen Actors Guild Nominations — Film

Ensemble

Black Swan
The Fighter
The Kids Are All Right
The King’s Speech
The Social Network

Winner: All worthy winners, The Kids Are All Right is a study in acting perfection. The King’s Speech ensemble is truly three players and could easily win. The Social Network has a cast that rocks Aaron Sorkin’s words, but we think the best ensemble of these five films is The Fighter. We can’t imagine that film without each and every actor as they were cast. But, in the end, the award will go to The King’s Speech.

Lead Actor

Jeff Bridges, True Grit
Robert Duvall, Get Low
Jesse Eisenberg, The Social Network
Colin Firth, The King’s Speech
James Franco, 127 Hours

Winner: This is Colin Firth’s award. Count on it all season long for his compelling turn in The King’s Speech.

Lead Actress

Annette Bening, The Kids Are All Right
Nicole Kidman, Rabbit Hole
Jennifer Lawrence, Winter’s Bone
Natalie Portman, Black Swan
Hilary Swank,Conviction

Winner: As Colin Firth is sweeping awards season, look for Natalie Portman to do the same as she wins Lead Actress at the SAG Awards.

Supporting Actor

Christian Bale, The Fighter
John Hawkes, Winter’s Bone
Jeremy Renner, The Town
Mark Ruffalo, The Kids Are All Right
Geoffrey Rush, The King’s Speech

Winner: Again, and we hate to start sounding like a broken record, but when it comes to the acting performances of 2010, the awards in 2011 will all sound familiar. Christian Bale wins for Supporting Actor in The Fighter…get used to hearing that over and over and over!

Supporting Actress

Amy Adams, The Fighter
Helena Bonham Carter, The King’s Speech
Mila Kunis, Black Swan
Melissa Leo, The Fighter
Hailee Steinfeld, True Grit

Winner: So we don’t repeat ourselves, simply put: The winner is Melissa Leo for The Fighter.
