SAG Awards Are Not Fair

January 28, 2019 Blind Gossip

[Blind Gossip] Did you watch the Screen Actor’s Guild Awards last night?

The show was hosted by Megan Mullally and not all of the winners were predictable!

One actor was complaining at an after-party about something very specific.

He was going on and on about the nominations. He said it wasn’t fair that some actors and actresses who actually had lead roles got shoved into the supporting categories just so they would have a better chance of winning. He said it made the whole process a scam (maybe he meant sham) and hurts those who really DO play supporting roles because they have to compete against [lead] actors who got a lot more screen time and a lot more publicity. He wasn’t drunk and the people around him all nodded like they agreed, but maybe it’s because they weren’t the ones who won.

There don’t seem to be any guidelines or rules for submitting a performer for a lead role versus a supporting role, so he does make an interesting point!

    Reminds me of The Martian winning Golden Globe for comedy and host Ricky Gervais kept mocking it.

    Lots were miscategorised. It’s all about who you know not talent and how well it is delivered.

    All of these Awards are decided by select groups and to become a member of one of those groups you have to be nominated by a group member and voted in by the rest. OSCARS, EMMYs, MOBIs, SAG etc etc etc. all controlled by a tiny elite. This whole ‘awards’ industry is the ultimate in self-aggrandising, sadomasochistic, politically correct, bonfire of the vanities.

    Emily Blunt should have been in leading actress category but won under supporting.
    Mahershala Ali should have been in leading actor category but won under supporting.

    No, they should not have won in the supporting category.
    Not fair.

    Black Panther winning was laughable. And I would say Mahershala Ali is more a co-lead in Greenbook, as is Emily Blunt in A Quiet Place.

    I actually thought that as well when I read some of the nominations… some of them were in Lead roles in other awards shows

    Timothée Chalamet (sorry for keeping bringing him up but come on the film is basically named after his role).

    Ali was co-lead with Viggo. He happily went supporting because he knew it would be an easy win.

    Suckers.

    I was confused too because some people that were nominated in supporting i thought should be in lead category. hmmmmm very weird.

    not sure the right people did win with that scenario.

    Emily Blunt winning ‘Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Supporting Role’

    I don’t think it matters, it’s just another vanity award to sell movies.

    Actors/Actresses who were miscategorized: Emily Blunt for a Quiet Place, Emma Stone, Marshehala Ali (spellcheck?), maybe Adam Driver.

    [Optional] Do you think the right people won? Glad that “A star is born” flopped since it’s a very average movie that was overhyped.

    I did think it was odd that Emily Blunt was nominated (and won) in the supporting category for A Quiet Place, I thought that was a lead role. I didn’t realise that there aren’t formal guidelines around whether a role is leading or supporting though, that’s a bit of a surprise!

    None of the Award Shows are fair….How can you explain Ben Affleck has 2 Oscars…….And GREAT Actors like Kevin Bacon and Ethan Hawke have none………
