A year ago, SAG Award noms presaged Oscars
Of the 20 actors nominated for SAG Awards in 2011, 17 went on to receive Oscar nominations. And three of four SAG acting winners (Jean Dujardin, Christopher Plummer and Octavia Spencer) also won at the Academy Awards.
SAG nominees left out of the Oscar party were Leonardo DiCaprio and Armie Hammer of "J. Edgar" and Tilda Swinton of "We Need To Talk About Kevin."
Four of the five ensembles nominated for SAGS received Oscar best picture nominations — the exception was "Bridesmaids."
A native of Los Angeles raised by two parents and "Hill Street Blues," Jon Weisman ankled his scriptwriting career and began working for Variety in 2004, subsequently serving as associate editor of features and television reporter before becoming awards editor. He promises not to use this platform to retroactively campaign for Oscars for “The Misfits,” though he’d feel justified in doing so.
