We’re fully in the thick of awards season with the recent Independent Spirit and Golden Globe nods setting the stage for Wednesday’s announcement of the Screen Actors Guild nominations. Some clear leaders of the pack have emerged with A Star Is Born popping up in four categories (including Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga for lead acting, as well as Sam Elliot for his supporting role and a nod for the overall cast). In addition, two TV series (Amazon’s The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and Netflix’s Ozark) received four nominations, and overall, love for streaming services runs high.
Since actors making up the voting body for these awards, they’re also often a good predictor for the films and big-screen performances (A Star Is Born, Black Panther, BlacKkKlansman, Bohemian Rhapsody, and Crazy Rich Asians take home overall cast SAG nominations here) that shall be nominated for Oscars. On the TV side of things, Netflix’s GLOW, HBO’s Sharp Objects, and FX’s Atlanta all represent well, and oh boy, actors sure are wild about Netflix’s The Kominsky Method. That might seem odd for a Chuck Lorre comedy, but it’s a series about two fading acting legends, and perhaps the SAG members intend to pay tribute to that pain. In addition, Morgan Freeman will receive this year’s Lifetime Achievement award.
