Best Supporting Actress

Berenice Bejo, The Artist
Jessica Chastain, The Help
Melissa McCarthy, Bridesmaids
Janet McTeer, Albert Nobbs
Octavia Spencer, The Help

It is so rare that a flat-out hilarious performance wins, and McCarthy’s star-making work this year would make worthy company for Marisa Tomei in My Cousin Vinny or Kevin Kline in A Fish Called Wanda. But with The Help dominating the SAG awards (taking both female categories and Best Ensemble), it is clear which cast of women captured the hearts of their peers. We’ll all join McCarthy in applauding her dear friend Octavia Spencer’s deserved victory.

Prediction and Personal Pick: Octavia Spencer
