[@traydaniel0403]

Here are the lists of nominees that I hope they’d win the SAG Awards 2023:
Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Leading Role:
Austin Butler- Elvis as Elvis Presley
Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Leading Role:
Michelle Yeoh- Everything Everywhere All At Once
or
Viola Davis- The Woman King as General Nanisca
Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Supporting Role:
Paul Dano- The Fabelmans as Burt Fabelman
Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Supporting Role:
Angela Bassett - Black Panther: Wakanda Forever as Queen Ramonda

The Fabelmans
Outstanding Performance by a Stunt Ensemble in a Motion Picture:
Avatar: The Way of Water
The Batman
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever
or
Top Gun: Maverick
It really don’t matter which one, because they’re all so good. I guess either Top Gun: Maverick or Avatar: The Way of Water.

Like I said, they all don’t need an Award to prove that they’re good, because all of them are so good together. The Awards needs them. Awards are overrated.
