I know that the SAG awards are handed out to both movies and TV shows, but since this is a movie blog, I'm only reporting on the movie awards. Yesterday, the SAG award nominations were announced and featured several snubs and surprises. Here they are:
OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE BY A CAST IN A MOTION PICTURE
12 YEARS A SLAVE
AMERICAN HUSTLE
AUGUST: OSAGE COUNTY
DALLAS BUYERS CLUB
LEE DANIELS' THE BUTLER
OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE BY A MALE ACTOR IN A LEADING ROLE
Bruce Dern, NEBRASKA
Chiwetel Ejiofor, 12 YEARS A SLAVE
Tom Hanks, CAPTAIN PHILLIPS
Matthew McConaughey, DALLAS BUYERS CLUB
Forest Whitaker, LEE DANIELS' THE BUTLER
OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE BY A FEMALE ACTOR IN A LEADING ROLE
Cate Blanchette, BLUE JASMINE
Sandra Bullock, GRAVITY
Judi Dench, PHILOMENA
Meryl Streep, AUGUST: OSAGE COUNTY
Emma Thompson, SAVING MR. BANKS
OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE BY A MALE ACTOR IN A SUPPORTING ROLE
Barkhad Abdi, CAPTAIN PHILLIPS
Daniel Bruhl, RUSH
Michael Fassbender, 12 YEARS A SLAVE
James Gandolfini, ENOUGH SAID
Jared Leto, DALLAS BUYERS CLUB
OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE BY A FEMALE ACTOR IN A SUPPORTING ROLE
Jennifer Lawrence, AMERICAN HUSTLE
Lupita Nyong'o, 12 YEARS A SLAVE
Julia Roberts, AUGUST: OSAGE COUNTY
June Squibb, NEBRASKA
Oprah Winfrey, LEE DANIELS' THE BUTLER
The SAG awards did not really surprise me at all this year. They picked pretty much everything that was expected, and there were not many surprises. Except for a few. The Wolf of Wall Street was shut out completely due to a lack of screenings. Inside Llewyn Davis got nothing as well. American Hustle came away with only two nominations, which is slightly surprising. And Lee Daniels' The Butler and August: Osage County managed to get multiple nominations. Right now, I'm going with American Hustle as the ensemble front-runner, but 12 Years is not far behind. Also, at this point all of the acting races are way too close to call. We're in for a fun Oscar season.
