SAG Winner Predictions: Best Male Actor in a Comedy Series


The competition: Alec Baldwin’s conservative TV boss (30 Rock), Ty Burrell’s goofy dad (Modern Family), Steve Carell’s wacky manager (The Office), Jon Cryer’s excitable chiropractor (Two and a Half Men), and Eric Stonestreet’s flamboyant stay-at-home dad (Modern Family).

For your information: Alec Baldwin has won this award for the past five years, creating a fearsome precedent. With Carell’s sixth nomination, this is his final chance to win the award. Emmy winner Burrell is back for round two, while both Stonestreet and Cryer receive their first-ever SAG nomination. Both have won Emmys for Best Supporting Actor. This award does sometimes go to supporting actors, as Jason Alexander, David Hyde Pierce, Robert Downey Jr., and Sean Hayes have won in the past.

Who should win: Carell, Burell, or Stonestreet

Who will win: I think Carell may finally be able to dethrone Baldwin.
