After kipping down numerous deserving efficiencies throughout movie and tv for almost twenty years without any elections to reveal for it, Paul Walter Hauser lastly landed his very first person Screen Actors Guild Award quote this year. He is chosen for his cooling turn as presumed serial killer Larry Hall on Apple TELEVISION+’s “Black Bird” in the restricted series/TV motion picture star classification. If Hauser dominates at the event on February 26, he will have another statuette to, uh, secure in his prize case next to his Critics Choice Award and Golden Globe Award for the exact same function.
Based on “In with the Devil: A Fallen Hero, a Serial Killer, and a Dangerous Bargain for Redemption,” James Keene‘s 2010 memoir which he wrote with Hillel Levin, the six-part miniseries follows Keene (Taron Egerton), a one-time high school football star and decorated policeman’s son-turned-drug dealership, as he is sentenced to ten years in a minimum security jail and provided with a unique option: Either he goes into an optimal security jail for the criminally ridiculous, befriends presumed serial killer Hall and persuades him to admit to killing approximately 14 women, or he serves his complete sentence without any possibility of parole. Though he almost bails at the 11th hour, Keene acknowledges that his only escape is to pick the previous choice.

Although this marks the very first time Hauser was singled out by the guild, he in fact enjoyed his first citation as a member of the “Da 5 Bloods” (2020) ensemble. The two-time candidate has actually likewise appeared in many other droop Award-chosen or -winning jobs, consisting of “BlacKkKlansman” (2018) — whose ensemble was shortlisted however for which Hauser did not have the necessary single-card main title billing to be qualified as a cast member — “I, Tonya” (2017), and the martial arts dramedy series “Cobra Kai.” So he is definitely no complete stranger to SAG-AFTRA members, and might extremely well parlay the goodwill he’s collected for many years into gold.
Ironically, his greatest opposition in the restricted series/TV motion picture star race is probably the candidate who is not simply the exact same age however likewise shortlisted for playing a real-life serial killer: Evan Peters. After making his inaugural election for “Mare of Easttown” in this extremely classification in 2015, the 36-year-old entertainer is now acknowledged for his representation of the titular killer in “Dahmer — Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story.” Also chosen is Steve Carell of “The Patient” — whose character on the FX on Hulu series isn’t a serial killer himself, however therapizes and is cooped by one — a 19-time candidate who has 3 ensemble triumphes under his belt, one for “Little Miss Sunshine” (2006) and 2 for the comedy “The Office” (2007-08), however is still in look for his very first solo prize. Searching for private acknowledgment this year are likewise the 2 guys who complete the lineup, Sam Elliott of “1883” and “Black Bird’s” Egerton, both of whom are previous candidates — Elliott for solo and ensemble acting for “A Star Is Born” (2018) and Egerton for his efficiency in “Rocketman” (2019).
While getting rid of Peters, who took home the restricted series/TV motion picture star reward at the Globes and is competing for among the most-watched titles in Netflix history, will most likely be an uphill struggle for Hauser, if anybody can manage a disturbed here, it’s him. Although Hauser is the sole supporting gamer in a classification loaded with leads, including his own program’s frontman, he can take advantage of having the showiest part in the lineup. He provides a spine-chilling efficiency as Hall, playing the supposed killer with a breathy, high-pitched voice, and imbuing him with an enigmatic quality that keeps you on the edge of your seat prior to releasing the real beast in him at last. It’s the kind of patently transformative work that stars tend to consume and might simply not have the ability to withstand.

Hauser is likewise going into the race with the most distinctions for his efficiency — because Carell, Elliott, and Egerton have yet to bag any hardware for their particular functions and Peters was snubbed at Critics Choice — and might finish a winter season awards sweep. If he does, that will just even more enhance his winning opportunities at the upcoming Emmys, where he seems neck and neck with Peters’ co-star Richard Jenkins in his classification, per our early chances.
