Along with the Golden Globes and other film honors, the guild picks help sort out favorites and other possible nominees for Hollywood’s big prizes, the Oscars, whose nominations come out Jan. 22.
Actors who are guild winners often go on to win Oscars. Last year, Helen Mirren for “The Queen” and Forest Whitaker for “The Last King of Scotland” were both guild and Oscar winners, as was supporting-actress Jennifer Hudson for “DreamGirls.”
The guild’s supporting-actor winner, Eddie Murphy for “DreamGirls,” lost at the Oscars to Alan Arkin for “Little Miss Sunshine.”
“Little Miss Sunshine” won the guild prize for overall acting ensemble, SAG’s equivalent of a best-picture honor, while “The Departed” won best picture at the Oscars.
Film and TV nominees were chosen by two groups of 2,100 people randomly chosen from the guild’s 120,000 members. The guild’s full membership is eligible to vote for winners.
