In the Sag Awards era, the only "supporting" bids who were pushed to lead are for movies where the studio tried to play that No One was lead - Whale Rider and The Reader, so the titular whale rider and reader were nominated in lead.
Carol and Danish Girl, the studio and thus the voters were easily able to rationalize by saying Blanchett and Redmayne are lead so the other was supporting. One may disagree, but they had an actual argument for the case.
