COMMENTARY:
This could be the push Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds needs to be taken seriously as Best Picture winning contender. If The Hurt Locker wins, I'd
say it's done, The Hurt Locker wins Best Picture at the Oscars, which is already being predicted. Nine is a big cast of A-list celebs who are friends with all the
many members of the SAG industry.
I think Inglourious Basterds will win this at the end of the night.

GEORGE CLOONEY-

JEREMY RENNER-
THE HURT LOCKER
|
|
|
|
COMMENTARY:
If Jeff loses here, it's going to sting but in no way take him out of the running. Renner would be a great thing to see like Johnny Depp besting out eventual
Oscar winner Sean Penn back in 2003. That's a big possibility but SAG will stick with their veteran actor never recognized.

CAREY MULLIGAN-

HELEN MIRREN-

COMMENTARY:
Meryl Streep won last year which makes me think they won't reward her two years in a row. Sandra is very popular with the actors which makes it foolish to
think she wouldn't edge out the competition. This race is still wide open folks.

STANLEY TUCCI-
THE LOVELY BONES

CHRISTOPH WALTZ-
INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS

CHRISTOPHER PLUMMER-

|
|
WOODY HARRELSON-
THE MESSENGER
|
|
|
COMMENTARY
I have to go different in at least one category. I think Tucci's rough year personally along with his great turn in Julie & Julia will give the actors inclination to
vote for him. Christoph Waltz is relatively unknown among actors before showing up this year. They may even go Plummer's way to keep the veteran
rewards going.

DIANE KRUGER-

COMMENTARY
This is the safest category to bet on. Mo'Nique will and should win the SAG and the Oscar. If there is a "backlash" then Farmiga is due for some love.
