[edit] Trivia

This SAG Award is a pretty good predictor for the Academy Awards. Only on seven occasions over the past 14 years did the winner of the SAG Award for Best Supporting Actor not win the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor. This happened in:

  • 1995: Harris (Apollo 13) lost to Spacey (The Usual Suspects)
  • 1998: Duvall (A Civil Action) lost to Coburn (Affliction)
  • 2000: Finney (Erin Brockovich) lost to Benicio Del Toro (Traffic). This is the first and only time in SAG Award history that the eventual Oscar winner went un-nominated by the SAG. Del Toro did win the SAG Award for a Leading Role.
  • 2001: McKellen (The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring) lost to Broadbent (Iris)
  • 2002: Walken (Catch Me If You Can) lost to Cooper (Adaptation)
  • 2005: Giamatti (Cinderella Man) lost to Clooney (Syriana)
  • 2006: Murphy (Dreamgirls) lost to Arkin (Little Miss Sunshine)
