So who got snubbed? No love for War Horse, Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close, or for The Girl With Dragon Tattoo. On the acting side Bichir’s nomination sunk the chances of Michael Fassbender, Ryan Gosling and Gary Oldman. McCarthy’s nod meant leaving out Shailene Woodley from The Descendants. The snub of Albert Brooks for Drive was a major one as well.

Yesterday, I made my predictions for the SAG nominations. In the Ensemble category I got 3 out 5 correct. Best Actor I got 3 out of 5. Best Actress I got 4 out 5. Supporting Actor I got 3 out of 5. Supporting Actress I got 3 out of 5.
