Only on five occasions over the past 15 years did the winner of the SAG Award for Best Leading Actress not win the Academy Award for Best Actress. This happened in:

  • 1994: Foster (Nell) lost to Lange (Blue Sky),
  • 1999: Bening (American Beauty) lost to Swank (Boys Don't Cry),
  • 2002: Zellweger (Chicago) lost to Kidman (The Hours)
  • 2007: Christie (Away From Her) lost to Cotillard (La Vie en Rose).
  • 2008: Streep (Doubt) lost to Winslet (The Reader)

Only once has the winner of the Academy Award for Best Actress not been nominated for the SAG Award for Best Leading Actress. In 2008, Kate Winslet won the Oscar for her performance in "The Reader." However, she won the SAG Award for Best Supporting Actress for her role.
