Both guilds are seen as highly predictive of which film will triumph at the Oscars, which will be held Feb. 22.\u003cbr/\u003eNaomi Watts who is in \"Birdman,\" confirmed that actors do experience the anxieties demonstrated in the film.\u003cbr/\u003e\"This was an extreme case because these long continuous shots and if you made a mistake you are possibly destroying another actors' best work so the responsibility of that made it incredibly high pressured but on the flipside of that incredibly exciting because if we all got it right as a team it was like winning a race,\" said Watts. \"We were fist pumping and chest pumping which made it probably the most collaborative experience and I think as actors maybe that's why we got recognized because actors understand that better than anyone how connected you are to one another.\"\u003cbr/\u003eThe other Oscar favorites - Julianne Moore, Eddie Redmayne and J.K.

It's more attention for the movie and hopefully it gets more people in theaters to watch the movie. I'm delighted to be the front runner. May it all happen.\"\u003cbr/\u003eMost outstanding actor went to \"The Theory of Everything\" star Eddie Redmayne, whose exceeding technical performance as Stephen Hawking has equally drawn raves. Looking down at his blue statuette - \"this very wonderful skinny man,\" he said - Redmayne dedicated the SAG Award to sufferers and victims of ALS. \u003cbr/\u003eEarlier this month Redmayne won the Golden Globe as well. He's tried to think about what an Oscar win would mean, but hasn't been able to describe it. \u003cbr/\u003e\"Do you know what? I wish I could articulate it's- it's so, it's all a bit overwhelming,\" said Redmayne. \"I describe it as, just now I described it as a white noise of euphoria. I can't really articulate how it feels. But it's a very wondrous sensation. As I said before being recognized by your peers, by actors, I love actors. It means a great deal.\"\u003cbr/\u003eMoore, widely considered the best-actress favorite, won most outstanding actress for \"Still Alice,\" in which she plays an academic with early onset Alzheimer's Disease.\u003cbr/\u003e\"It's hard not to think about it when people keep bringing it up,\" laughed Moore. \"This has been a wild and wonderful ride. We made this movie last March. It hasn't even been a year since we finished it. So the fact that any of this has happened has truly been an anomaly and really has surprised me every step of the way. I'm trying to remain as calm as I can, as present, I'm incredibly grateful for everything that's been happening for this and I don't take any of it for granted. Not for a minute.\"\u003cbr/\u003eSunday's show kicked things off with a pair of wins for the Netflix prison series \"Orange Is the New Black,\" honoring it as best ensemble in a comedy and naming Uzo Aduba most outstanding actress in a comedy series. Aduba won over a number of veteran stars, including Julia Louis-Dreyfus (\"Veep\") and Edie Falco (\"Nurse Jackie\").\u003cbr/\u003e\"I don't know I don't think modesty was at all at play. I think the whole experience has been one, incredibly humbling. I'm really still in that space and when my name was called I thought my heart stopped for a second. And then I was like, 'Come on heart beat again.
