Like everything Awards Season has a place and a time. In some ways I think that it's the perfect length. Just short enough to keep people from going insane, and just long enough to ensure that it's not greatly missed. After all, it's a gruelling process, possibly more for Oscar prognosticators than even the Actors who find themselves attending the ISA, BFCA, Satellite, Globe, SAG... blah blah blah. It's like a race in any sport: anticipation, speculation, competition... twists, turns, and finally the climax, in which the expected winner usually, but thankfully not always, comes out on top. For those involved I'm sure it's more like a dream, but even Ellen Page may be glad to see an end to her rather unconventional party months and a return to vodka and clubbing (not that I'm advocating that type of behaviour of course! ;-)).
In the week leading up to the Oscar ceremony I'll be making my final predictions and attempting to sum up all of the major races. As with every year, some of the categories are sewn up and some aren't. Oscar turned its nose up at the Guilds this year, shunning one of its favourites, Into the Wild, and going with the snubbed Atonement, in turn ensuring only one its big five matched with this year's SAG Ensemble nominees. Unsurprisingly the one match took home the award. Here are the DGA and SAG winners:
DGA - Joel & Ethan Coen - No Country For Old Men

Actor in a Leading Role - DANIEL DAY-LEWIS – “There Will Be Blood”
Female Actor in a Leading Role - JULIE CHRISTIE – “Away From Her”
