SAG Awards 2025 shake up Oscar race — and ‘Wicked’ is totally shut out
NY Post
Award season may be very long, but Sunday night’s Screen Actors Guild Awards were mercifully short.
Two quick hours, in and out. Other interminable Hollywood events, please take note.
The ceremony honoring performers at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles is the last major step on the road to the Oscars, and a pitstop on the cul-de-sac to the Emmys.
The SAGs, an embarrassingly glitchy broadcast on Netflix, are a useful bellwether for the Academy Awards. A significant number of Oscar voters are actors. So, a couple March 2 contests were pretty much sewn up Sunday night.
Kieran Culkin, who won best supporting actor for his tender and funny turn in “A Real Pain,” can start practicing his Oscar speech. But he’s not the preparation type, as evidenced by his wacky improv set on Sunday.
You can bet that Culkin will definitely get to do his stand-up routine again at the Dolby Theater next week.
