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
