SAG Predix.

Best Cast: The Help. I honestly think it has the higher acting chops than The Artist.


Best Actor: George Clooney, The Descendants. George is unstoppable. With BFCA and Golden Globes, he got it.

Best Actress: Meryl Streep, The Iron Lady. I really want Viola to win. Her performance was subtle and great.
