On this week’s For Your Consideration, Collider’s awards experts Scott Mantz, Perri Nemiroff and Jeff Sneider recap the SAG Awards, the PGA Awards and the ACE/Eddie Awards, all of which are important precursors on the road to the Oscars. SAG gave Parasite the award for Best Ensemble, but did that boost its Best Picture chances, or was it simply the only way to honor this cast, none of whom were nominated as individuals?
Meanwhile, 1917 won the PGA Award, while Parasite and Jojo Rabbit split the top prizes from the editors guild. 1917 and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood didn't make the cut in the Best Editing category, so that major award will be going elsewhere this year, and if Parasite wins, that could signal a Best Picture upset later in the night.
As for the second half of the episode, the FYC gang runs down why each Best Picture contender will win, and why each film will lose. There are pros and cons to each movie, and we can't wait to see what happens on February 9. Jeff, for one, is predicting a shocker, though you'll have to watch the episode to find out what it is.
