Going with Malek because SAG clearly liked Bohemian Rhapsody *too* much and I feel like it's a performance they'll take to more than Bale's.
If Bale wins here, though, he's pretty undeniable for that second Oscar.

Leaning Bale here, would not be surprised by Cooper getting something here though or Malek.
Bale is in some ways defining his historical turf - that would be 2 Oscars for 2 tour de forces, with physical body changes a la De Niro.....the only British actors with 2 Oscars where at least one is for Lead would be DDL and Bale (I think?) - that's quite elite company if accurate........if he wins it, people who enjoy hating on the dude are going to be hating on the wrong side of history it seems to me because he's just tremendous in a mediocre film..........he's playing a monster too - that puts him in that recent DDL sphere for lead wins, that's not easy to do........it's quite a feat to do that these days.

Malek still feels like the favorite here. He's not being hit with any of the backlash against his film, SAG really loved Bohemian Rhapsody enough to nominate it for Ensemble (lol), and BAFTA would definitely go for him over Cooper. Bale stands a solid chance, but I just think that Vice is the much more polarizing property, which works in Malek's favor.

I am going with Bale aka "Why did Batman skip church?".
SAG voters will appreciate Bale the most.
He put on the weight.
He changed his vocal chords to sound like Cheney.
He captured the mannerisms brilliantly.
But more importantly, he took a man seen by the Hollywood community as evil, unlikable person, and gave a great humanistic quality.
Malek is also a strong contender too, and just might win. He basically carries the film and without much heavy-handed dialog, depicts a man struggles with his own identity.

It's a tough call for sure.
I found Rami's perf a bit too self-conscious. He seemed to be too self-aware esp. the way his lips kept fussing with the overbite. Someone who's born with it (like me and many in my family), we just forget about it. We're used to it and don't notice it's there until someone else reminds us. Malek on the other hand kept drawing attention to it. I could never forget the Actor on the screen like I did with Bale.

I think Cooper might win with a sympathy vote cause he missed director.

Is there anyway that SAG can change the winner for Best Actor and possibly Best Ensemble like I suspect the Critics Choice Awards do sometimes? Possible disqualification super secret rule that's listed in the really fine print?
Just checking because I'm guessing there's going to be a lot of cringing Sunday night if Malek and especially if Bohemian Rhapsody win now.
I don't know about SAG now because I think Malek still takes it, but I'm guessing Bale wins the Oscar now for sure.

Malek, Brian May and co better be prepared with a badass, rousing speech about how everyone's efforts go beyond its ugly production history... |

Yeah, The Atlantic's exposé on Singer will make these SAG Awards so awkward, honestly. Especially if Malek and BR win. But even before the piece, I thought that Malek would win here, but I already had the unshakable feeling that the Academy would choose Bale or Cooper. Malek sweeping for THIS performance in THIS movie seems so wrong.
