\"\"<\/a>It’s gotten to such a point that every award that is given out prior to the Oscars is viewed as giving hints as to how the Oscar will eventually play out. This is especially true of the Screen Actors Guild Awards, as they are given out by the union that represents\u00a0Hollywood actors. Since the Academy Award acting nominations are also determined by the actors themselves, it goes to figure that the nominations for the two awards should be just about the same.<\/p>\n

It never seems to work out that way, exactly, but let’s just\u00a0for arguments sake that this year the Screen Actors Guild Awards will be the same. If that is the case, this will be a wild and woolly year at the Oscars.<\/p>\n

The list features the expected nominees (Glenn Close, George Clooney, Meryl Streep), surprising additions (Leonardo DiCaprio? Brad Pitt? Jonah Hill?), and notable omissions (Elizabeth Olsen from Martha Marcy May Marlene<\/strong> comes to mind). I would love to see Melissa McCarthy get a nod when Oscar time rolls around, but\u00a0the\u00a0Academy has never been that friendly towards comedies.<\/p>\n
