SAG Winner Predictions: Best Male Actor in a Drama Series


The competition: Steve Buscemi’s Atlantic City gangster (Boardwalk Empire), Bryan Cranston’s meth cooker (Breaking Bad), Jeff Daniels’ temperamental news anchor (The Newsroom), Jon Hamm’s ad man (Mad Men), and Damian Lewis’ conflicted Congressman (Homeland).

For your information: Only one actor in this group has ever won this award, and that’s Buscemi, who won the past two years. After his show took 2011 off, Hamm is back with his fifth nomination. Cranston earns his fourth consecutive nomination, while Emmy and Golden Globe winner Lewis and freshman show star Daniels netted their first-ever nominations. Everyone but Daniels is also nominated as part of their ensemble casts.

Who should win: All great choices, honestly.

Who will win: It’s hard to say. I think Lewis continues his awards-bodies sweep.
