Since the SAG Awards launched two and half decades ago, 20 lead actors claimed both the SAG prize and that year’s Oscar, and 18 lead actresses have accomplished the same feat.
Which means that Glenn Close and Rami Malek may have just received some very good news: Fresh off of their Golden Globe wins,The Wifestar andBohemian Rhapsodyfrontman nabbed trophies in the Best Actress and Best Actor in a Drama categories, respectively.
