The Screen Actors Guild (SAG) will announce their nominations representing the best in acting for 2024 on Wednesday, January 8th. This is an important precursor for the Oscars, as they help us understand who will be nominated for the acting categories and where support may lie for Best Picture since the largest voting block of the Academy are still actors. Some members of the Next Best Picture team are chiming in with their final predictions.
Predictions are provided by: Alyssa Christian, Cody Dericks, Dan Bayer, Daniel Howat, Ema Sasic, Josh Parham, Matt Neglia, Nadia Dalimonte, Sara Clements, Tom O’Brien & Will Mavity
