SAG Nominees: Best Male Actor in a Drama Series

My predictions: 3/5, picking Malek and Schreiber over Bateman and Harbour
Who’s missing? Rami Malek, Kevin Spacey, Liev Schreiber, Freddie Highmore

I guess I should have paid more attention to the Golden Globe nominees and seen that Jason Bateman (Ozark), whose show I stopped watching after what I found to be a poor pilot, and David Harbour (Stranger Things) should be taken more seriously. I can’t understand why anyone watching “Mr. Robot” wouldn’t nominate Rami Malek again since he’s so excellent, and I would have thought that SAG would have thought better than to dump him after two seasons, especially when they didn’t nominate Bob Odenkirk (Better Call Saul) last year after including him the year before. He’s terrific too, but I would have taken Malek over him. I’m not going to argue with Sterling K. Brown (This Is Us) since I know he’s beloved, and Peter Dinklage (Game of Thrones) is also a great choice as always, still doing superb work on his seven years in.

Who will win? With any past competition out of the way, this seems like a clear path to victory for Brown.
