Preview:
- ‘Oppenheimer’, ‘Barbie’ and ‘The Holdovers’ are all up for Screen Actors Guild Awards.
- In the TV categories, ‘Succession’ and ‘The Bear’ dominated again.
- The ceremony will screen on Netflix this year.
The Screen Actors Guild Awards mark an important pre-Oscars date in the awards season calendar. Unlike, say, the Golden Globes, they represent what performers are likely to vote for in terms of their peers when it comes to the big night.
It’s not a 1:1 correlation every time, but the same faces do often tend to show up on both stages. And, as seems to have become tradition, there are some definite front-runners. The likes of Bradley Cooper, Paul Giamatti, Colman Domingo, Annette Bening, Lily Gladstone, and Margot Robbie are all in contention again, while the ensemble prize features such repeat titles as ‘Killers of the Flower Moon’, ‘American Fiction’ and ‘Barbie’.
Meanwhile, the TV side sees a return for a veteran awards-scooper – Tony Shalhoub, who has won many prizes for his work in both ‘Monk’ and ‘The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel’. He’s back this year for TV movie ‘Mr. Monk’s Last Case’.
Netflix’s ‘Beef’, meanwhile, has been scoring plenty of kudos, and the cast is back on the lists for these awards. Still, big hitters such as ‘Succession’, ‘The Bear’ and ‘Ted Lasso’ are also present (with ‘Succession’ and ‘Ted Lasso’ carrying the weight of the last chance to reward them now they’ve concluded).

SAG Awards: Nominees react

You can imagine that certain nominees must be using up original ways to react to their various nominations, but the likes of Paul Giamatti and Emma Stone still found something to say when called up by Variety.
Here’s what Giamatti said about his nomination for ‘The Holdovers’:
“I’m perpetually in a state of shock throughout this. I’m just kind of amazed to be singled out this way. It’s fantastic. It’s awesome. But it’s always just surprised, but very pleasantly surprised.”

This is what Stone had to say:
“Thank you SAG!!! This nomination is a profound honor. I’m hugely grateful to Yorgos Lanthimos, our producers Ed Guiney and Andrew Lowe and Searchlight Pictures. I still can’t believe I got to work alongside Mark Ruffalo, Willem Dafoe, Ramy Youssef, and the rest of this incredible cast.”
Brett Goldstein in ‘Ted Lasso’ season 2, now streaming on Apple TV+.
‘Ted Lasso’s Brett Goldstein, who plays the gruff Roy Kent, had a typically sweary response:
“F*** me! It’s such a lovely and huge honor to be nominated with these absolute screen legends, including my favorite captain! First SAG pulls together a historic deal, and now this! Is there nothing they can’t do?! It means so f***ing much to even be considered in this conversation by my fellow actors. Thank you, thank you, thank you. And shoutout to my Greyhounds, the best ensemble you could ever get to play with. I love you all. What a thing.”
