With Sandra Bullock winning the SAG Award Saturday night she takes a slight lead over Meryl Streep as the favorite to win the Best Actress Oscar. Or does she?
Each of them won Golden Globes (Bullock in the Comedy category, Streep in the Drama) and they tied for the Critics Choice Award.
Streep has dominated the Academy Awards in the past, with a record 15 nominations, but she’s won only two. Bullock has never been nominated for an Academy Award, but that will change in a few days.
Along with Best Picture, this is the best race of the year. Bullock is the favorite right now, but that could by the time Academy voters start filling out their ballots.
