Last year, veteran thespian Christopher Plummer ("Beginners") was able to parlay his Best Film Supporting Actor trophy from the Screen Actors Guild into an Academy Award a few weeks later. Will one of this year's nominees be able to do the same?
Past SAG winners on the ballot might include Alan Arkin ("Argo" and "Stand Up Guys"), Steve Carell ("Hope Springs"), Russell Crowe ("Les Miserables"), Benicio Del Toro ("Savages"), James Gandolfini ("Killing Them Softly"), Woody Harrelson ("The Hunger Games"), Philip Seymour Hoffman ("The Master"), Tommy Lee Jones ("Lincoln"), William H. Macy ("The Sessions"), Ian McKellen and Andy Serkis ("The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey"), Guy Pearce ("Lawless"), Michael Stuhlbarg ("Hitchcock"), Christopher Walken ("A Late Quartet" and "Stand Up Guys"), and Tom Wilkinson ("The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel").
Previous nominees making another attempt are Kyle Chandler ("Zero Dark Thirty"), Billy Connolly ("Quartet"), Robert De Niro ("Silver Linings Playbook"), Ralph Fiennes ("Great Expectations"), James Franco ("Lovelace"), John Goodman ("Argo"), Joseph Gordon-Levitt ("Lincoln"), Hal Holbrook ("Promised Land"), Danny Huston ("Hitchcock"), Jude Law ("Anna Karenina"), Ewan McGregor ("The Impossible"), and Bill Murray ("Moonrise Kingdom").
A few rookies trying to break through include Sacha Baron Cohen ("Les Miserables"), Tom Courtenay ("Quartet"), Joel Edgerton ("Zero Dark Thirty"), Irrfan Khan ("Life of Pi"), Matthew McConaughey ("Magic Mike"), Bill Nighy ("The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel"), Michael Pena ("End of Watch"), and Samuel West ("Hyde Park on Hudson").
