SAG PREDICTIONS

WOW. Oscars are soooo near, but we gotta go through SAG First.

Best Ensemble Cast
WINNER: "No Country for Old Men". I'm going say this and choosing this, knowing that there's SO much love.

ALTERNATE: Even though "Into the Wild" was shut out in most major categories (exception of Hal Holbrook), it think it could make a surprise snag to "No Country's" award.

Best Actor
WINNER: Daniel Day-Lewis for "There Will Be Blood". He's unstoppable. HELLO OSCAR!

ALTERNATE: George Clooney for "Michael Clayton". He can manage to get it, since Ryan and Emile weren't nominated and this category lacks Depp, he can surely win (remember he snagged quite a few critics awards too, it sure does help).

Best Actress
WINNER: Marion Cotillard for "La Vie en Rose". Though is a 3 horse race with Page and Christie, I think she's capable of winning SAGs heart by playing a real-life-person. Remember Helen Mirren?

ALTERNATE: Ellen Page for "Juno". No one said she was out. Just because Julie won the Globe, numerous critics awards and got an Oscar nomination I don't think she can outshine Ellen's pregnant Juno in the little Indie-that could film.

Best Supporting Actor
WINNER: Javier Bardem for "No Country for Old Men". Practically a lock for the Oscar. Let's add the SAG to his collection of awards this year...

ALTERNATE: Hal Holbrook for "Into the Wild". This veteran can win the hearts of his fellow actor's with the "OLD FACTOR". Not to sound insulting, okay?

Best Supporting Actress
WINNER: Cate Blanchett for "I'm Not There". I think she'll win but she has two HUGE threats: an veteran and a newcomer.

ALTERNATE: Ruby Dee for "American Gangster". When the SAG nominations came out, everyone new Ruby ("overrated") Dee would get an Oscar nomination. They started all this buzz for her, they could give her the award too. If she wins here, the Oscar is practically hers. Amy Ryan isn't "Gone Baby Gone" yet.
