Parasite might have actually been better NOT winning SAG in that situation.
I think the one question is whether Parasite is more “the actor’s film.” I don’t think that’s the case.

Sure, that ignores two thing though: the strength of the SAG Ensemble as a precursor has been minimized AND the fact that the SAG Ensemble was likely the only nomination it could get. Maybe Actor but unlikely.anonymous1980 wrote
No, it's not. If anything, it could be a slightly weaker frontrunner. You seem to forget that Birdman was nominated for multiple SAG awards and won Best Ensemble. 1917 wasn't nominated for ANY SAG awards. The last time a film won Best Picture without any SAG nominations was Braveheart and that's 24 years ago.
This is such a good point. I want to reframe it a little...OscarGuy wrote
I know a lot of people want Parasite to win, but don't let that cloud you to the possibility that it's probably going to lose. For 1917 to lose a la Saving Private Ryan, it would need to be up against a light comedy with a large ensemble. Parasite is definitely not that.
Screenplay isn't a "minor" award. In fact, I think if it DOES win Screenplay, it has a legitimate shot to win Best Picture.Precious Doll wrote:I sort of thing Parasite may have run its course. It will win Best Foreign Language Film at the Oscars and may sneak in a couple of minor awards (Editing & Screenplay) but it unlikely to win director and will struggle for a Picture win.
Into the Wild was practically a one-man show for a huge chunk of it and that somehow got a SAG Ensemble nomination. 1917 couldn't even get in Stunts.Big Magilla wrote: If SAG were an actor heavy film its lack of a nomination in any category might be a factor but there was no place for 1917 to have snared a nomination there.
If SAG were an actor heavy film its lack of a nomination in any category might be a factor but there was no place for 1917 to have snared a nomination there. It's still the Oscar front-runner but that doesn't mean it can't be beaten by one of the other nominees.anonymous1980 wrote:No, it's not. If anything, it could be a slightly weaker frontrunner.

1917 is in VERY good company. If it wins the BAFTA, it's going into the Oscars a stronger front-runner than Birdman.
If Parasite wins WGA, there could be hope for the #Bonghive yet.
