SAG Winner Predictions: Best Male Actor in a Comedy Series


The competition: Alec Baldwin’s TV executive (30 Rock), Ty Burrell’s goofy dad (Modern Family), Jason Bateman’s frazzled father (Arrested Development), Don Cheadle’s soulless management consultant (House of Lies), and Jim Parsons’ stuck-up scientist (The Big Bang Theory).

For your information: Astonishingly and irritatingly, Baldwin has won this award a staggering seven times in a row. I was convinced he wouldn’t be nominated again since his show aired just a handful of episodes in 2013, but alas he is and will almost surely win again. This is the fourth consecutive nomination for Burrell and the second for Parsons. Bateman was nominated for this role back in 2005, and Cheadle has three past film nominations. Everyone but Cheadle is nominated as a member of his ensemble cast. The Golden Globe winner in the corresponding category, Andy Samberg, isn’t nominated here.

Who should win: Burrell or Parsons

Who will win: There’s no way they’ll be able to resist giving Baldwin an eighth and final trophy.
