It may be the traditional Thanksgiving break, but awards season doesn’t take a holiday.  December is full of key events that will make or break the hopes of numerous contenders.  Along with key critics’ groups honors one of the most important indicators for Oscar’s acting races (and slightly for best picture) are the Screen Actors Guild Awards.  Nominations for January’s ceremony will be announced in less than two weeks on Dec. 11.  While reading SAG nominating committee members is arguably more difficult than any other guild, the HFPA or Academy members (SAG members seem to love almost everything) reactions do mean something. Oh, and history does too.  

With that in mind, lets review some major contenders and pretenders as we gear up for the 2014 SAG Awards nominations in the embedded gallery below.
