- Cillian Murphy is a slight favorite over Paul Giamatti in the Best Actor category
- Lily Gladstone and Emma Stone are competing to win the Best Actress SAG Award
- The 30th Screen Actors Guild Awards will be broadcast live on Netflix on Saturday, February 24 at 8pm ET
Airing on Netflix for the first time, the Screen Actors Guild Awards are set to go mainstream in 2024. Unlike the Oscars or Golden Globes, these awards are only voted on by actors themselves.
While the ceremony honors both movies and television, we’ll focus on the best acting and supporting acting performances in films this year. Before we look at the odds, check out the top betting sites for Entertainment in 2024 and the latest betting odds for the 2024 Oscars.
SAG Awards – Best Actor
Cillian Murphy vs Paul Giamatti
Cillian Murphy (-150) and Paul Giamatti (+150) both won Golden Globes in the drama and comedy categories, respectively. While The Holdovers lead topped the Irishman at the Critics’ Choice Awards, the mass popularity of Oppenheimer could help Murphy to SAG glory.
With over 160,000 members, SAG-AFTRA is easily the largest voting body in awards season. In the past, that’s often led to wins for actors in the more-watched films. Given that Oppenheimer has grossed almost $1 billion at the worldwide box office, the smart money is on Murphy (-150).
“I don’t really go for pure entertainment. I love when it makes you feel a little bit f****d-up. Not in a horror-genre way, but in a psychological, existential way.”

SAG Awards – Best Supporting Actor
Robert Downey Jr. favored
Robert Downey Jr. (-400) looks like a lock in the supporting actor category after topping Ryan Gosling (+300) at both the Critics Choice Awards and the Golden Globes. With nearly $1.5 billion in international box office receipts, Barbie is a more popular film than Oppenheimer. But, comedic performances are rarely if ever honored at major award shows, so “Ken” is fighting a losing battle here.
SAG Awards – Best Supporting Actress
Randolph vs Brooks
With a Critics Choice Award and Golden Globe already under her 50-inch belt, Da’Vine Joy Randolph (-375) is heavily favored for her portrayal of a bereaved lunch lady in The Holdovers. Danielle Brooks (+300) has a shot, but she’s more likely to pull an upset on Oscar night.

SAG Awards – Best Actress
Emma Stone to win another?
Lily Gladstone (-240) is the chalk pick in the Best Actress category despite appearing in less than a third of the 3.5-hour Killers of the Flower Moon. While Gladstone is very much in a supporting role, Emma Stone (+125) takes major risks throughout Poor Things.
With Yorgos Lanthimos’ dark comedy surging at the box office, Stone is well positioned to become the fourth lead actress to win the SAG award twice, joining Frances McDormand, Renée Zellweger and Viola Davis.
