RED CARPET PUNDITS PREDICT PORTMAN, FIRTH, LEO, BALE, 'SOCIAL NETWORK' (GD, THR)
By Wiretap staff
Awards prognosticators for Gold Derby and The Hollywood Reporter have tallied fairly predictable guesstimates for winners at Sunday's Screen Actors Guild Awards.
They're betting Natalie Portman will take best female lead for "The Black Swan" despite what some see as sentimental inclinations in some quarters for Annette Bening in "The Kids Are All Right."
Very heavy odds favor Colin Firth for "The King's Speech" as best male lead.
For male actor in a supporting role, Christian Bale seems a sure bet for his turn as the cracked half of the siblings in "The Fighter," for which Melissa Leo is also heavily favored for best female actor in a supporting role.
"The Social Network" appears to be the strongest contender for SAG's nod to the best movie cast performance, followed by "The Fighter" and "The King's Speech."
