SAG Throws Wrinkle Into Oscar Race, Gives Actor Awards to ‘Sinners,’ Michael B. Jordan

The 32nd Actor Awards Presented by SAG-AFTRA, handed out March 1 at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles and live-streamed on Netflix, re-framed some of the conventional awards-season thinking with two weeks to go before the Academy Awards.

Formerly known as the SAG Awards before this year, and the Actor Awards are presented by the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists, the entertainment industry’s largest voting bloc.

The top prize of Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture went to Warner’s Sinners, which also saw Michael B. Jordan take home Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Leading Role.

Jordan’s win came as something of a surprise as he hadn’t won any of the major precursor awards before this. Timothée Chalamet had emerged as the heavy Oscar favorite for his role in A24’s Marty Supreme after wins at the Golden Globes and Critics Choice Awards. His loss at the Feb. 22 British Academy Film Awards (BAFTAs) wasn’t seen as a blow to his Oscar chances because the winner there wasn’t up for the Academy Award, but missing out on the Actor Awards adds some suspense to the race. On the Kalshi online prediction market, Chalamet’s Oscar odds dropped from 78% before the BAFTAs to 43% within minutes of the Actors ceremony concluding, while Jordan’s odds jumped from around 3% in late January to 39%.  (Chalamet did win the SAG Award last year for playing Bob Dylan in A Complete Unknown without going on to win the Oscar, which may have influenced this year’s voters).

The win for the Sinners cast does give the film some Best Picture momentum heading into the Oscars, though Warner’s One Battle After Another is still seen as the heavy favorite, hovering around 81% on Kalshi (down from 85% at the end of February). Sinners sits at around 17%, up from about 10% the day before the Actor ceremony.

However, the ensemble win does shore up the likelihood that Sinners casting director Francine Maisler takes home the first Oscar for Best Casting. Kalshi taps Sinners as a 73% favorite in that category, with One Battle at 28%. It also makes Ryan Coogler the first director to helm two ensemble-winning films, with 2018’s Black Panther being the other.

Following a slew of wins earlier in the awards season, One Battle most recently picked up best picture-equivalent honors at the BAFTAs and the Feb. 28 Producers Guild of America Awards, while Paul Thomas Anderson won the top prize at the Director’s Guild of America Feb. 7.

Among the other film categories at the Actor Awards, Jessie Buckley won Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Leading Role for Universal’s Hamnet, continuing her awards winning streak and pushing her Kalshi odds of an Oscar win to 95%.

One Battle’s Sean Penn won the Actor for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Supporting Role, which when paired with his BAFTA win in the equivalent category last week makes him a solid favorite for the Best Supporting Oscar award (76% on Kalshi). And Amy Madigan of Warner’s Weapons won the Actor for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Supporting Role; she won the equivalent trophy at the Critics Choice Awards but not the Golden Globes or BAFTAs. Best Supporting Actress is considered the closest race among the four performance Oscars, with Madigan now jumping ahead at 39% on Kalshi, compared with 30% for One Battle’s Teyana Taylor (the Golden Globes winner), and 23% for Sinners’ Wunmi Mosaku (the BAFTA winner).

Final Oscar voting began Feb. 26 and runs through March 5, with the 98th Academy Awards ceremony taking place March 15.

The Actor for Outstanding Action Performance by a Stunt Ensemble in a Motion Picture went to Paramount’s Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning. An Oscar for Best Stunt Design will be introduced at the 100th Academy Awards in 2028 (covering 2027 films).

On the TV side, Apple TV’s “The Studio” picked up more hardware, winning Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series, Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Comedy Series for Seth Rogen, and Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Comedy Series for Catherine O’Hara, a posthumous honor following her death Jan. 30.

HBO Max’s “The Pitt” won Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series, while Noah Wyle won Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Drama Series.

Capping off a good night for Warner Bros. Discovery IP, which won in seven of the 15 categories between film and TV, HBO’s “The Last of Us” won Outstanding Action Performance by a Stunt Ensemble in a Television Series.

Netflix properties grabbed two Actors, with Owen Cooper of Adolescence winning Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Television Movie or Limited Series, and Keri Russell winning Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Drama Series for the third season of “The Diplomat.”

Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Television Movie or Limited Series went to Michelle Williams for FX’s Dying for Sex on Hulu.

Rounding out the festivities, Harrison Ford was given the Screen Actors Guild Life Achievement Award.

Zootopia 2

BLU-RAY DISC REVIEW:

Street Date 3/3/26;
Disney;
Animated;
Box Office $425.8 million;
$34.99 DVD, $40.99 Blu-ray, $ UHD BD Steelbook;
Rated ‘PG’ for action/violence and rude humor.
Voices of Ginnifer Goodwin, Jason Bateman, Ke Huy Quan, Fortune Feimster, Andy Samberg, David Strathairn, Idris Elba, Patrick Warburton, Danny Trejo, Jenny Slate, Bonnie Hunt, Don Lake, Alan Tudyk, Shakira.

A deft blend of silly humor that should appeal to kids and adult-friendly sophisticated storytelling, the sequel to 2016’s Zootopia delves into a Chinatown-esque conspiracy involving the history of the animal-populated title city and why there aren’t many reptiles around.

Picking up from the events of the first movie, Zootopia 2 finds rabbit Judy Hopps (Ginnifer Goodwin) and former con artist fox Nick Wilde (Jason Bateman) now partners in the Zootopia Police Department. When their attempt to bust a big smuggling case goes awry, they get assigned to counseling to work out their differences, but Judy recovers evidence that a reptile might be involved.

She and Nick go undercover at a gala celebrating the 100th anniversary of the technology that regulates the city’s weather so all the different species can live comfortably together. They soon encounter a snake, the first one seen in the city in a century, who steals the original notebook containing the plans for the weather regulator, running afoul of the lynx family descendants of the inventor who patented the device.

When the snake, Gary (Ke Huy Quan), claims the journal holds the key to reversing a great injustice involving the snakes, Judy and Nick decide to help him, disobeying orders in their effort to uncover the truth while being branded fugitives.

While pursuing another message of togetherness similar to the first film, the lively Zootopia 2 is also loaded with crazy action sequnces and filled with fun references to previous Disney animal-related classics.

 

As to a 4K home release of Zootopia 2, while Disney made it available on 4K through digital retailers, the studio announced the only way to get the film on 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray disc is through a limited-edition Steelbook release that is apparently in such low supply that Amazon took down its listing page for it, and other online retailers offering it have preorders listed as sold out.

‘Predator: Badlands’ Debuts at No. 1 on Disc Sales Charts

In a week loaded with major new releases, Disney-owned 20th Century Studios’ Predator: Badlands debuted at No. 1 on the Circana VideoScan chart, which tracks combined sales of all disc formats, and the dedicated sales chart for Blu-ray formats the week ended Feb. 21. It was also the top 4K disc seller.

The sci-fi actioner follows Dek, a young Predator outcast from his clan, who finds an unlikely ally in the android Thia (Elle Fanning) and embarks on a treacherous journey in search of the ultimate adversary. The film earned $91 million at the domestic box office.

It earned $4.5 million at the domestic box office. With 51% of its first-week sales coming from HD formats (42% regular Blu-ray, 9% 4K), it was the No. 5 Blu-ray and No. 12 on the 4K chart.

Revenge Thriller ‘Trucker’ Rolls Onto Digital Platforms March 10

Breaking Glass Pictures will make the revenge thriller Trucker available through digital home entertainment retail platforms beginning March 10.

Directed by Errol Sack and written by Steven Shaffer, Trucker follows a hardworking truck driver in 1985 whose life is shattered when his family is killed in a fiery crash caused by a group of reckless teens. Pulled from the wreckage and left for dead, he is mysteriously rescued and nursed back to health by an enigmatic old man living among the twisted remains of abandoned trucks. What follows is a relentless campaign of revenge as the trucker hunts down those responsible for destroying his life — forcing audiences to question where sympathy truly lies.

The cast includes Katherine Gibson, Dwayne Hilton Jr., Milo Hayden, Nicole Mattox, Dare Taylor, Lauren Parkinson, Chuck Cirino and Jim Palmer.

“With influences ranging from Friday the 13th and Joy Ride to I Know What You Did Last Summer, Trucker delivers a familiar yet ferocious experience that horror fans will instantly recognize,” Breaking Glass co-founder Richard Wolff said in a statement.

Sack calls the 1980s setting essential to the tension of the film, which is brought to life through practical stunts, visceral effects and a throwback genre sensibility.

“There were fewer technologies back then,” Sack said in a statement. “That limitation makes everything more interesting and more dangerous.”

Shaffer adds: “With Trucker, we also wanted to create something we could realistically produce — using locations, skills and props we already had access to.”

‘Testament of Ann Lee’ Available Digitally March 10

Disney-owned Searchlight Pictures will release The Testament of Ann Lee through digital retail platforms March 10.

From director Mona Fastvold, The Testament of Ann Lee depicts the story of the founder of the devotional sect known as the Shakers. Amanda Seyfried stars as the Shaker’s revered, irrepressible leader who preaches gender and social equality. With reimagined Shaker hymns, the film captures Lee’s ecstasy and agony in her quest to build a utopia.

Calling Lee a “wild feminist religious leader in late 1700s America,” Fastvold said she was inspired to make the film because she believed Lee had been completely overlooked by history. “This film is offered as a tribute to her dream — and the silence that now surrounds it,” Fastvold said in a statement.

The film was written by Fastvold and Brady Corbet, and also stars Thomasin Mckenzie, Lewis Pullman, Stacy Martin, Tim Blake Nelson and Christopher Abbott. It earned $2.5 million at the domestic box office and earned Seyfried a best actress nomination at the Golden Globes and Critics Choice Awards.

The home entertainment release with select retailers includes the bonus featurette “The Testament of Ann Lee: A Special Look,” in which the filmmakers and cast members delve into the making of the film.
