So-dam Park, Sun-kyun Lee, Woo-sik Choi, Jeong-eun Lee, and Kang-ho Song accept Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture for Parasite onstage during the 26th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards at The Shrine Auditorium on Jan. 19, 2020 in Los Angeles.
Of the 25 films to win the SAG Award for outstanding performance by a cast, 24 have at least been nominated for the Oscar for best picture.
When the Screen Actors Guild nominations are announced on Feb. 4, all eyes will turn to the top category: outstanding performance by a cast in a motion picture. That is often looked to as a leading bellwether for the Academy Award for best picture.
âWe announced the same date for the SAG Awards last July with the intent to give the greatest possible scheduling consideration for other awards shows. We expect the same consideration from sister organizations throughout the industry.â
This is the second year in a row that there was a scheduling conflict involving these two shows. Last year, the 26th Annual SAG Awards were originally scheduled for Jan. 26, 2020. But when the Grammy Awards were announced for the same date, SAG-AFTRA moved the SAG Awards a week up, to Jan. 19.
Last yearâs scheduling conflict was of course pre-COVID-19. This yearâs conflict is a direct result of the chaos that the pandemic has caused in every aspect of American life, including a logjam of award shows.
