Welcome to Deadline’s Dwell Weblog of the 29th Annual SAG Awards.
Be a part of me as I supply colour commentary, on the spot evaluation, and hopefully some dishy perception to the SAG Awards as they roll alongside starting at 5:00PM PT tonight. Historically the SAG Awards have been an usually uncanny bellwether into the way in which the winds are blowing on the Oscars, at the least by way of performing winners. They’ve a extra spotty file in terms of TV, usually behind the Emmys for a few beats, however not at all times. SAG is certainly able to surprises, so it might be a pleasant twist within the season if they provide any tonight. Final yr’s film winners had been copied verbatim on the Oscars which went 4 for 4 with SAG within the performing classes, and helped launch CODA to a Finest Image Oscar when it received the generally, however clearly not at all times, predictive equal of SAG’s Excellent Solid award. The identical enhance within the Solid class, and the infectious acceptance of the South Korean actors on stage, I imagine actually helped cement the eventual and historic win for Parasite two years earlier. The SAG Awards are coming later within the awards season sport this yr, simply two weeks earlier than Oscar Sunday, and solely 4 days earlier than ultimate voting begins for the 95th Annual Academy Awards. They might have a serious influence, however this yr’s ceremony, for the primary in many years, doesn’t have a TV deal or tv presence since being dropped by TNT/TBS, their longtime broadcast companions. The ceremony might be carried on Netflix’s You Tube channel although should you can work out how one can watch it on-line, this prematurely of the streamer taking up the printed rights starting subsequent yr. What impact which may have might be negligible since there might be loads of headlines popping out of tonight’s present and eventual victors, and plenty of Oscar voter eyes might be seeing them. Pundits nearly universally are predicting the large Solid prize will go to All the things In all places All At As soon as, and it does seem it’s that A24 sleeper hit’s one to lose, nevertheless it might additionally decide up trophies individually within the performing races. Preserve your eyes on the weblog as we discover out if that movie cements its standing as Oscar entrance runner, or will get tripped up.
On the TV facet, buzzy titles like Abbott Elementary and The White Lotus – Sicily are favorites, however there are many eventualities at play right here as nicely. Be a part of me for all of the enjoyable.
