The last two weekends in January are typically crowded with awards shows, making it important for guilds to stake out their territory early. This year, SAG and the Producers Guild handed out awards on the second-to-last weekend, with the Art Directors Guild Awards, the Annie Awards and the Scripter Awards all taking place on the final Saturday in January.
All four of this year’s SAG film-acting winners went on to win the Academy Award, marking the second consecutive year that SAG and the Oscars were a perfect match. The film that won the SAG ensemble-cast award, “Birdman,” also won Best Picture at the Oscars.
