Another day, another awards announcement. Tis the season, Omicron or no Omicron.
The Screen Actors Guild Awards recognizes performances only in TV and Film. The awards, which are voted on by members of the Screen Actors Guild, will take place on February 27. In terms of industry klout, the SAG Awards are considered the second most important awards in film and television after both The Oscars and The Emmys, respectively.
SAG Awards has a long history of being the true precursor to which actor or actress ultimately snags the coveted Oscar. Meanwhile in terms of checking off this season's awards scorecard:
Sans any Hollywood celebrities, red carpet or fanfare, Golden Globes were given out this past weekend by announcement.
Critics' Choice Awards are awaiting rescheduling.
The Screen Actors Guild Awards, set to air live on TNT and TBS, from its usual perch at Santa Monica's Barker Hangar as usual from Santa Monica's Barker Hangar. The telecast will return with host Taye Diggs and comedienne Nicole Byer as co-host.
During Wednesday morning, the SAG nominations were announced with all of Hollywood listening: Succession and Ted Lasso both earned five noms in the TV Field, while Squid Game received four noms; in the film field, The Power of the Dog with three noms and House of Gucci (also with three noms) lead the charge with the most big screen nominations.
One rather strange outcome: The Power of the Dog is nominated in every possible category (it doesn't have a lead actress) except for the big award, Best Cast. No doubt that's left Netflix toppers scratching their collective heads. Though their film Don't Look Up is named there, with zero other nods. Helen Mirren was chosen as this year's recipient of SAG's lifetime achievement award.
In terms of studios, WarnerMedia (HBO and HBO Max) topped all with 18 noms in both film and tv. Netflix followed with 17 nods in film and tv, with Disney getting 13 including its film divisions, Hulu, Disney Plus and Disney's streamers.
The Golden Globes awarded by the Hollywood Foreign Press on January 9 honored The Power of the Dog, Succession and Ted Lasso in the top slots film drama and tv shows – but named "West Side Story" as best musical or comedy. At the SAGS, "West Side Story" received only one nomination: Ariana DeBose for Best Supporting Actress. The SAGS do not break film into separate drama and comedy/musical categories.
As we mentioned, the SAGS have the best Oscar track record. Last year, 2021, Nomadland took the SAG for Best Cast. In 2020, Parasite repeated the pattern. The same thing happened the years before with The Shape of Water and Green Book. However, that fate will not be shared by Power of the Dog, as it missed out on the Best Cast nod.
