AwardsWatch Podcast Ep. 325 – Predictions for SAG, DGA and PGA Nominations and Golden Globe Winners
On episode 325 of the AwardsWatch podcast, Associate Editor Sophia Ciminello leads the team of Editor-In-Chief Erik Anderson, Executive Editor Ryan McQuade and contributor Mark Johnson on predictions for the massive week of SAG, DGA and PGA nominations and next weekend’s Golden Globes.
After attending the Critics Choice Awards last weekend, we turn our eyes to our first major bite of the top guilds in the industry: the Screen Actors Guild, Directors Guild and Producers Guild, who will all be announcing their nominations this week. While we intersect a lot as a foursome, each of us have outliers and potential spoilers to mix things up. Next, we look at the Golden Globes, the second televised awards show of the season and where they will go. Will it be a One Battle After Another sweep? Can Sinners find love? How will the international films fare and can Hamnet rebound outside of Jessie Buckley? All will be told soon…
