SAG Award Nominations

This year's SAG award nominees bode well (mostly) for the Oscar race. These are the most reliable predictors of where the Academy will go, in fact I'll bet the five best actor nominees will be the Oscar contenders, and if that is so we are in for an interesting show.

Best Surprise: Kate Winslett for Best Actress for Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. An amazing performance.

Most unexpected surprise: James Garner for The Notebook. He's also getting the lifetime achievement award from SAG this year.

Who gets the biggest momentum boost: Don Cheadle, Sophie Okonedo and everybody involved with Hotel Rwanda.

Oscar nominations are announced two weeks from today.
