2021 Oscars Acting Predictions: Does Viola Davis’ SAG Win Change the Game for Best Actress? - Collider For Your Consideration

On this week’s For Your Consideration, Collider’s awards experts Scott Mantz, Perri Nemiroff and Jeff Sneider recap this year's SAG Award winners and discuss whether or not they'll influence the Oscar race.

The big surprise over the weekend was Viola Davis' SAG win for Ma Rainey's Black Bottom, as many experts had pegged the race between Carey Mulligan (Promising Young Woman) and two-time Oscar winner Frances McDormand (Nomadland). Recent Golden Globe winner Andra Day (The United States Vs. Billie Holliday) was not nominated for a SAG Award this year, which may have paved the way for Davis' upset victory.

The FYC hosts agree that Chadwick Boseman's posthumous SAG win cements him as the frontrunner for Best Actor at the Oscars, where the runner-ups will continue to be Riz Ahmed (Sound of Metal) and Anthony Hopkins (The Father). Meanwhile, Daniel Kaluuya (Judas and the Black Messiah) remains the frontrunner for Best Supporting Actor following a successful hosting stint on Saturday Night Live.

Finally, Minari star Yuh-jung Youn triumphed at the SAG Awards, beating out buzzy newcomer Maria Bakalova, who had been tipped to win via a "leak" that proved incorrect in that category. Jeff has long pegged the veteran performer as the likely winner for Best Supporting Actress, though Olivia Colman is a past Oscar winner who could always surprise for her turn in The Father.
