Lady Gaga arrives at the SAG-AFTRA Foundation 3rd Patron of the Artists Awards in Beverly Hills, California on November 8, 2018 REUTERSThe SAG Awards ceremony also will honor the year’s best television performances. The SAG awards are closely watched because actors form the largest voting group in the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, which hands out the Oscars. Only one film in the last 23 years has won the prestigious best picture Oscar without being nominated for SAG’s ensemble prize. Awards experts say no clear leader has emerged for best picture, which will be awarded during the Feb. 24 Oscars telecast. Other lead actress nominees include Glenn Close for her performance as a devoted spouse in “The Wife,” and Olivia Colman as a narcissistic queen in “The Favourite.” Both won Golden Globes acting awards.
