2022 SAG Awards Sunday night. That’s not good — because actors make up the biggest voting bloc at the upcoming Academy Awards. As Scooby Doo would say, “Ruh roh!”Netflix, the producer of director Jane Campion’s drama, started getting nervous when the favored Best Supporting Actor contender Kodi Smit-McPhee lost to the wonderful Troy Kotsur for “CODA” early in the evening. Moments later, Kirsten Dunst was brought to heel for Best Supporting Actress by Ariana DeBose for her ferocious turn as Anita in “West Side Story.” The final yell of “bad dog!” came when Benedict Cumberbatch surrendered Best Actor to Will Smith (“King Richard”), who will now surely go on to win the same award at the Oscars, after nabbing the SAG and the Golden Globe. “Power of the Dog” didn’t even manage a nomination for Best Ensemble. That slight doesn’t necessarily mean it’s out of the Best Picture Oscar race completely — “Nomadland,” “Green Book” and “Shape of Water” also didn’t nab nods for the biggest SAG prize — but winning zero acting awards will have rabid Netflix execs growling Monday morning.That big ensemble win instead went to “CODA,” the heartwarming dramedy that premiered at Sundance about a hearing woman who grows up in a deaf family.
