Wow! I can officially say that this year’s Road to the Oscars has been one of the most varied I have seen in recent years. Cementing that claim is the announcement of the Screen Actors Guild Award nominations. Since actors are the largest voting body of the Academy of Arts and Sciences, the SAG nominations tend to be one of the best litmus tests for predicting the Oscar nominees and even the eventual winners.
