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), Peter Dinklage’s talkative heir (Game of Thrones), and Kevin Spacey’s corrupt politician (House of Cards).

For your information: Cranston won last year, and Buscemi won the two years before that. Daniels is back with his second nomination after winning the Emmy earlier this year for his show’s first season, while past Emmy winner Peter Dinklage is nominated here for the first time (and the only supporting performance recognized this year). Spacey has one previous TV nomination, for “Recount,” in addition to two film nominations, one of which he won. Buscemi, Cranston, and Dinklage are also nominated as part of their ensemble casts.

Who should win: Based on this past season, Cranston or Dinklage.

Who will win: I think it’s a battle between Cranston and Spacey, and I’ll give the edge to the former.
