crazy unpredictable award season but they re as close to a favorite as you can get. christian bale for vice and rami malik have been fighting it out for best actor prizes. and now rami malik has the edge and the same too with glenn close over olivia coleman who i expect will probably win the bafta. glenn close never won the oscar. beloved at the sags and she wins. let me tell you why they re likely to win the oscars. more than any other award shows the sags have a huge influence on the academy awards. they re voted for my actors and actors make up the largest voting block at the academy. so history shows us if you win a sag, chances are you re going to win an oscar. so for rami malik and glenn close, it s looking good. what about, were there any snubs? any actors or movies that you thought were forgotten or unfairly treated?
a star is born which should lead the way with four nominations so how important of these awards the sags as they re known and which are only for actors we have asked our film expert scott rocks for that and also his favorites for the oscars. sag award doesn t guarantee an oscar but suppose you can get because you see the group the votes for the oscars the academy the largest voting bloc within the academy are actors so if they pick a sag winner it tends to go on to win the oscars and you can see last year that was the case all four of the actors who won last year one oscar last year one of sag before for the same role you had frances mcdormand and sam rockwell but they put in best actress and best supporting actor for their roles in three billboards i was there but what we still don t know is who s going to win the oscars this year and if i had to place a bet i go with a film it s got ten nominations. roma
after last tuesday s academy award nomination. oscars best pictures nominees are voted by the producer arm of the academy, this year honoring black panther, the favorite, green book, roma, vice, a star is born. and it outcomes right at the back of the room. some similarities among the 5,000 voting members of sags who wave bohemian rhapsody the top cast of motion picture. i do think once we see the s ag awards and see who wins i think that is going to bring it into a little more focus when it comes to the oscars. yeah, right i like that. and for many of these small films like vice, or can you ever forgive me honored during this time, buying this kind of publicity is a win-win for everyone. you need campaigning behind it. you need to be out there. you need to be doing red carpets you need to be doing magazine
conversation rather than wanting a blanket wall even republicans, especially along the border and in texas have disagreed with trump s wall and refused to support it but it is impossible to tell what this president is going to do but at the moment and as friday represented, the reason why the president capitulated to begin with is that his poll numbers are sinking. his base for the first time is crumbling and the one thing that the shutdown accomplished is united the left and right against the president. he put people out of work and a paycheck for 345 days to just come back to the starting position that we were in december so i think that if the president has come to this real sags that this is not the way you preside in a divided government, he is going toization that this is not the way you preside in a divided government, he is going to change course here potentially he ll use the state
house democrats are ready to negotiate, finally, and mitch mcconnell just sent a loud message to the public, finally. they rejected his offer to fund the wall in dramatic sags. it needed 60 votes to advance. the democraticic cease fire proposal got more votes. 52, at six republican senators decided to side with the democrats. that is a message. so the message that the senate sent to the president is that even in a body koled by republicans, there is more port for a cease fire than a wall. we should note a moment on the senate familiar from this afternoon as one of the more low key members of the body went full bullworth. how ludicrous it is that this government is shut down over a promise that the president of the united states could not
