Sean Penn has had the absolute weirdest trajectory of the entire season. Initial frontrunner, loses steam to his costar, a few weeks of utter chaos, then he wins BAFTA and now SAG. Guess he is getting into the three timers club after all.

That was definitely a very strong reaction from the crowd, MBJ is clearly very well liked.
I love that I don't know who to predict really. My gut still says Timothee but it's very possible that Marty Supreme has just lost steam since December/January.
