This is an identity-propelled insult to the concept of “Best Actor” by any definition, in any context.
If there was going to be an overturn-the-apple-cart winner in this category, it should have been Ethan Hawke in Blue Moon. But no — SAG members gave the big prize to a guy who played the dual role of Smoke and Stack in a 1930s Delta blues vampire exploitation film…but of course!
On top of which Sinners has won SAG’s Best Ensemble award…what a revoltin’ development. This is total bullshit…identity over merit. Sinners might actually win the Best Picture Oscar. At least the lack of certainty makes for a palpable suspense element.
