SAG Awards

Screen Actors Guild Award Winners!

Bell - SAG — Kristin Bell as host of the 24th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards

At last night’s Screen Actors Guild Awards, Hollywood royalty came out last night to celebrate the great performances of 2017. While the undercurrent of the #metoo movement was still present, it was not as all-encompassing as it was at the Golden Globes earlier this month. For starters, not everyone wore black. However, the show did honor women. For the first time in the 24-year history of the SAG Awards, there was a host: Kristin Bell. Dubbing herself the “first lady” Bell promised to take on cyber-bullying as her main cause. Also, all of the award presenters were women.

Amid allegations of sexual coercion which surfaced after his Golden Globe win, Aziz Ansari skipped the award ceremony. Nominee James Franco, who also was accused of sexual harassment after the Golden Globes, did attend the ceremony. While Franco did not say anything during the ceremony, his presence felt odd. This must have been a source of conversation amongst the attendees. Alison Brie, nominee for her role in the Netflix series GLOW and Franco’s sister-in-law, came to the actor’s defense. During an interview on the red carpet, Brie stated, “I think that above all what we’ve always said is that it remains vital that anyone that feels victimized should and does have the right to speak out and come forward. I obviously support my family, and not everything that’s been reported has been accurate, so I think we’re waiting to get all the information. But of course now is the time for listening, and that’s what we are all trying to do.”

24th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards - Show — Sam Rockwell, Frances McDormand, and Woody Harrelson

The big winner of the night was Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, winning a total of three awards: Best Female Actor in a Leading Role (Frances McDormand), Best Male Actor in a Supporting Role (Sam Rockwell), and Best Ensemble Cast. This win is an important one for the film. In the history of the SAG Awards, the film to win Best Ensemble Cast has taken home the Best Picture Oscar 11 times. This also makes both McDormand and Rockwell a lock for Oscar nominations (which come out tomorrow) and the front runners to win an Oscar.

Also locking in their nominations were Gary Oldman, who won the award for Best Male Actor in a Leading Role for his portrayal of Winston Churchill in Darkest Hour, and Allison Janney, who won Best Female Actor in a Supporting Role for her glorious work in I, Tonya. Sadly, the bird from I, Tonya was not in attendance.

Lies - SAG — Alexander Skarsgard and Nicole Kidman hold their awards for *Big Little Lies*

On the television side, Big Little Lies continued its domination of award season winning awards for Nicole Kidman and Alexander Skarsgard. There is no category for Best Ensemble Cast of a Television Movie or Limited Series, or Big Little Lies would have walked out with that award, as well. Sterling K. Brown made SAG Award history as the first African-American actor to win the award for Best Male Actor in a Drama Series for his work on This Is Us. The show also won Best Ensemble Cast of a Drama Series.

Veep took home the award for Best Ensemble Cast of a Comedy Series for its sixth season. Actor Matt Walsh, who portrays the hapless press secretary and spokesman for Selina Meyer, made a speech very much in keeping with his character. He even “accidentally” referred to the award as a Grammy. Julia Louis-Dreyfus picked up her ninth SAG Award for her role as Selina Meyer. Louis-Dreyfus is currently in treatment for breast cancer and was unable to attend the ceremony.

Well, what did you think of the awards? Anything stand out as the best or worst moment of the evening? Let us know on Facebook or Twitter.

Surprised? SAG Nominations Announced

SAG

This morning Olivia Munn and Niecy Nash announced the nominations for the Screen Actors Guild Awards. As always, there was some overlap with the Golden Globes nominations, but there were quite a few surprises and snubs. Let’s dig in.

Three Billboards 2 — Sam Rockwell and Frances McDormand in *Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri*

Three Billboards Outside of Ebbing, Missouri was the most nominated film with a total of four nominations. The film received nominations for Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture, Outstanding Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role (Frances McDormand), and Outstanding Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role (both Sam Rockwell and Woody Harrelson). Both McDormand and Rockwell were nominated for Golden Globes, but the addition of Harrelson is a pleasant surprise.

Get Out 2 — Daniel Kaluuya and Allison Williams in *Get Out*

Jordan Peele’s horror/comedy Get Out was also nominated for Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture. Daniel Kaluuya also picked up a nomination for Outstanding Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role. While horror films are generally bypassed by Academy voters, this film has been generating buzz since it came out early in 2017. I think we can expect a Best Picture nomination and a possible Best Actor nomination as well.

Other foregone conclusions on the list include multiple nominations for The Shape of Water, Lady Bird, and I, Tonya. The Shape of Water and Lady Bird were both nominated for Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture and Outstanding Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role (Sally Hawkins and Saoirse Ronan, respectively). Additionally, each picked up a supporting actor/actress nomination: Richard Jenkins for playing the closeted neighbor and confidant of mute Sally Hawkins in The Shape of Water, and Laurie Metcalf as the pushy, but loving mother of a teenager dying to leave home in Lady Bird. I, Tonya picked up nominations for Outstanding Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role (Margot Robbie) and Outstanding Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role (Allison Janney). A quick aside: may I just say how thrilled I am that Allison Janney is finally getting some recognition for her film work? She has given standout performances in films for years, and it is good to see her finally breaking out of the “TV Star” label that has been firmly affixed to her performances.

Surprisingly, Mudbound, the Netflix film that has been garnering Mary J. Blige a lot of attention for her outstanding work, picked up a nomination for Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture. After the Golden Globes shut out for The Big Sick, the Screen Actors Guild decided to nominate the film for Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture and Outstanding Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role (Holly Hunter). Perhaps there is a chance at the Oscars, after all.

Steven Speilberg’s The Post, which received nominations for Best Picture, Best Actress (Meryl Streep), and Best Actor (Tom Hanks) at the Golden Globes was noticeably absent from the list of nominations. I honestly am shocked that Meryl Streep didn’t get a nomination. She breathes and she gets a nomination. All the Money in the World was also omitted from the nominations after receiving three surprise nominations for the Golden Globes. Due to all of the publicity around the film (and having not seen it yet) I do wonder if that was a publicity stunt by the Hollywood Foreign Press. They are the press, after all.

The Screen Actors Guild Awards will be presented on January 21^st. For the first time since their inception, the show will be hosted. The emcee this year? Kristin Bell.

Screen Actors Guild Awards – The Winners!

screen-actors-guild-trophy

The Screen Actors Guild Awards were presented on Saturday, January 30 to a room full of celebrities. There are so many things to discuss about these awards, but I think we need to focus on the most important part of the night: Leonardo DiCaprio using a vape pen.

Just kidding. However, the SAG decided to show the Oscars a thing or two about diversity. While the Oscars did not nominate a single minority actor or actress this year, the SAGs not only nominated, them, but five of the ten individual winners were minorities. I would specifically like to point out Idris Elba, who made SAG history by being the first actor to win two awards for individual performances at the same ceremony. Elba won for Best Actor in a Made for Television Movie or Mini Series for his role in Luther and Best Supporting Actor in a Motion Picture for his work in Beasts of No Nation. The latter award is a particular coup, considering Elba was cheated out of an Oscar nomination for his role in Nation.

The nights other big winners were, of course, Leonardo DiCaprio for his portrayal of frontiersman Hugh Glass in The Revenant, Brie Larson for her stirring performance as a kidnapping victim in Room, and Alicia Vikander as the supportive wife of transgender artist, Lily Elbe in The Danish Girl. So, what does this mean for the Oscars? Well, basically Leo and Brie Larson should start writing their acceptance speeches. In the 22 years of the SAG Award history, SAG correctly predicted the winner of Best Actor 17 times and Best Actress 15 times. Vikander become a front runner to win the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress, but I would not call her a lock just yet. Over the next few weeks, Vikander will have to campaign hard to keep her edge. Since Elba is not nominated for an Oscar, the supporting actor category is the wild card of the bunch.

Hug 2 — Kate Winslet hugs Leonardo DiCaprio after his win for *The Revenant*

When it was first released, Spotlight was thought to be the front runner to win Best Picture. In recent weeks, it has lost its edge since being beaten out by The Revenant at the Golden Globes and The Big Short at the Producers Guild Awards. Winning for Best Ensemble at the SAGs, Spotlight has pulled ahead once again.

Over in TV land, the big winners of the night were Orange is the New Black and Downton Abbey which won for Best Ensemble in a TV Series – Comedy and Best Ensemble in a TV Series – Drama, respectively. Uzo Aduba also won her second consecutive Best Actress in a TV Series – Comedy for her role as “Crazy Eyes” on Orange is the New Black.

Other winners in the TV categories include: Kevin Spacey for his role as the duplicitous president on House of Cards, Viola Davis, continuing her award season streak, as the lawyer we all love to hate on How to Get Away with Murder, Jeffrey Tambor as a middle aged transgender man in Transparent, and Queen Latifah as the incomparable Bessie Smith in the HBO movie, Bessie.

Jacob Tremblay and Rachael McAdams

Jacob Tremblay and Leonardo DiCaprio

Finally, I have to say that the MVP of the entire awards show was 9 year-old Jacob Tremblay. He and Brie Larson presented an award together, with Tremblay reminiscing about his first SAG nomination (um, that was this year). He also snagged some exciting selfies with Leo and Rachel McAdams. He may have lost the award to Idris Elba, but I call all of that a win.

Surprise it’s the 2016 SAG Awards Nominations

Welcome back, my award season junkies! The stage is set and we are all ready to find out which of this year’s films will be crowned as favorites for the Oscar race. To that end, the Screen Actors Guild Award Nominations were announced this morning.

Trumbo, the biopic about blacklisted Hollywood screenwriter Dalton Trumbo, lead the pack with three nominations, including Outstanding Performance by a Cast. Brian Cranston’s turn as the egotistical but principled Trumbo earned a nomination in the Lead Actor category, while Helen Mirran’s performance as the anti-communist crusader and Hollywood gossip columnist Hedda Hopper was nominated in the Supporting Actress category.

Eddie Redmayne’s portrayal of Lili Elbe, the first person to attempt gender reassignment surgery, in The Danish Girl was also honored with a nomination. Redmayne is generally considered to be a lock for his second consecutive Oscar nomination, however, it remains to be seen if he can be the first actor since Tom Hanks to win consecutive Best Actor Oscars. Newcomer Alicia Vikander also received a Supporting Actress nomination for her performance as Gerda Wegener, the supportive wife of Redmayne’s character.

Several other films landed two nominations in the lead and supporting categories: Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara for Carol, Michael Fassbender and Kate Winslet for Steve Jobs, and Brie Larson and Jack Tremblay in Room.

This year’s nominations were studded with more surprises than normal. Helen Mirran received a nomination in the Lead Actress category for her role in Woman in Gold, a small film about a Jewish refugee who takes on the Austrian government to recover a painting that she believes was stolen from her family during World War II. Sarah Silverman scored a nomination as a restless wife and mother in the poorly received I Smile Back. However, the biggest surprise for me was the inclusion of Rachel McAdams for her role as investigative journalist Sacha Pfeiffer in Spotlight. The role that is generating most of the buzz from this excellent journalistic thriller is Michael Keaton’s. Last week, he was honored with the New York Film Critics Circle Award for this film. I have the feeling that most voters felt that he was a sure thing, so they decided to vote for a smaller film, thereby excluding him from receiving a personal nomination. He is, however, nominated as part of Spotlight’s ensemble cast.

The television nominations were not quite as fraught with surprise nominations. The ensemble cast of “Mad Men” was nominated for the final season of the period ad agency drama, as well as Jon Hamm for his portrayal of ad exec extraordinaire and ladies man Don Draper. The Downton Abbey cast was nominated for best ensemble, while the queen of the one-liners, Maggie Smith, was nominated for her role as the Violet Crawley, the Dowager Countess of Grantham. Fantasy favorite Game of Thrones also found itself with two nominations: one for the cast of the show and one for Peter Dinklage.

The show with the most nominations this year is the third season of Netflix’s House of Cards. The show received nominations for Kevin Spacey and Robin Wright, as the most manipulative couple in the history of television, as well as a nomination for the cast as a whole.

Perennial favorite Modern Family received nominations for the ensemble cast and for Ty Burrell. Big Bang Theory, Transparent, Key & Peele, Orange is the New Black, and Veep rounded out the comedy ensemble cast category.

The Screen Actors Guild Awards will be presented, live, on January 30, 2016. The ceremony will air on TNT and TBS.

SAG Nominations

Wow! I can officially say that this year’s Road to the Oscars has been one of the most varied I have seen in recent years. Cementing that claim is the announcement of the Screen Actors Guild Award nominations. Since actors are the largest voting body of the Academy of Arts and Sciences, the SAG nominations tend to be one of the best litmus tests for predicting the Oscar nominees and even the eventual winners.

It comes as no shock that the gripping true story 12 Years a Slave led the pack with four nominations: Best Ensemble Cast, Chiwetel Ejiofor as Best Lead Actor, Michael Fassbender as Best Supporting Actor, and Lupita Nyong’o as Best Supporting Actress.

However, the surprises seem to outweigh the foregone conclusions this year. Some unforeseen omissions from the nominations are Robert Redford’s harrowing performance in All is Lost and the complete shut-out of Martin Scorsese’s latest film, The Wolf of Wall Street. Lee Daniels’ The Butler picked up three surprise nominations, despite moderate reviews and being overlooked by other early critics awards.

I put it to you, my fellow award aficionados: What do you think? What shocked you the most? Any early predictions? Meryl Streep is just awesome, right?! Tweet us @moviefiednyc.
