AwardsWatch Podcast #172: SAG sweeps and what they mean for the Oscar race

The AwardsWatch Podcast

On episode 172 of The AwardsWatch Podcast, AwardsWatch Executive Editor Ryan McQuade is joined by AwardsWatch contributors Dan Bayer and Sophia Ciminello break down the winners of the 2023 SAG awards and where the Oscar race is at before the start of voting.

We are down to the final two weeks of the Oscar season, and it has become clear that we are heading towards a historic night at the 95th Academy Awards for A24’s Everything Everywhere All at Once. After it’s win last Saturday night at the Producers Guild of America (PGA), the little movie that could took home the most SAG awards in the Screen Actors Guild history on Sunday, with three acting prizes and Best Cast. This is a big change from the BAFTA awards the week before, and the perfect scenario for the film going into Oscar voting. Ryan, Dan, and Sophia break down the winners, what they mean for the overall race, the chaos of Best Supporting Actor, and tease a very long show next week with our final predictions.
