Imagine Hidden Figures winning Best Picture . Imagine seeing such unbridled joy on the faces of Taraji P. Henson, Octavia Spencer and Janelle Mone, the first women to headline a No. 1 movie for two consecutive weeks since 2011.

It could happen! On Sunday, Hidden Figures won the Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture, bolstering its path to Best Picture.

After Moonlight swept the Gotham Awards in November, I optimistically wondered whether Barry Jenkins movie could also land the Oscars top honor. It seemed like the socially conscious antidote to the charming levity of La La Land, our presumed front-runner throughout the season. Then the pastel musical swept the Golden Globes and became one of the most-nominated films in Academy Award history. It seemed unstoppable.

And yet, the last movie in the SAG Awards 23-year history to win Best Picture without being nominated for SAGs Best Ensemble accolade was Braveheart, way back in 1996. La La Land would only be the second. So now Im going to swap my Moonlight postulation for a Hidden Figures what-if.

What if Hidden Figures wins Best Picture next month?
