"One of the most powerful things we have as human beings are two eyes looking into two eyes," said Close. "Film is the only art form that allows us the close-up."

Blunt's win was a shocker, particularly for the actress, herself. Blunt, also nominated by the guild for her lead performance in "Mary Poppins Returns," was visibly surprised. She wasn't among Tuesday's Oscars nominees for either film.
For the second time, the cast of "This Is Us" won best ensemble in a drama series. Other TV winners included Sandra Oh ("Killing Eve"), Darren Criss for "Assassination of Gianni Versace", Jason Bateman ("Ozark") and Patricia Arquette ("Escape at Dannemora"). Arquette thanked Special Counsel investigator Robert Mueller "and everyone working to make sure we have sovereignty for the United States of America."
The SAG Awards are one of the most reliable bellwethers of the Academy Awards, but several of this year's top Oscar contenders failed to land a best ensemble nomination.
The two leading Oscar nominees - "Roma" and "The Favourite" - were bypassed by the actors guild for a field that also includes "Crazy Rich Asians," "Bohemian Rhapsody" and "A Star Is Born," which led all films with four nominations. "The Favourite" still earned nods for its three lead actresses - Olivia Colman, Emma Stone and Rachel Weisz - but "Roma" was shut out entirely. Both films landed 10 Oscar nods Tuesday.
The best picture winner at the Academy Awards has always first been nominated for best ensemble by the SAG Awards except in 1996, when "Braveheart" won best picture, and last year, when Guillermo del Toro's "The Shape of Water" overcame the SAG omission to win best picture. The actors guild instead awarded "Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri" its top prize.
Actors make up the largest percentage of the academy, so their preferences can have an especially large impact on the Oscar race. In the last decade the SAG ensemble winner has gone on to win best picture at the Academy Awards half of the time.
