With the wave of sexual harassment allegations gripping Hollywood, the SAG Awards avoided rewarding the accused: Jeffrey Tambor and Kevin Spacey are nowhere to be seen in the list that they used to frequent for their respective roles in Transparent and House of Cards. The Outstanding Cast category is seen as a fairly accurate bellwether for Best Picture at the Oscars. Get Out continues its strong awards push, picking up nominations for the entire cast and for Daniel Kaluuya. Netflix has a very convincing roster this year, even invading a Motion Picture category. That’s why it meant so much to Gary Oldman, who said in a statement after learning he had been nominated for his performance in Darkest Hour, “No actor could ever deny the special satisfaction that comes from being recognized by your fellow artists.”Įvery single nominee in the female category for Outstanding Performance in a Drama Series is from a streaming show, and four out of the five are from Netflix. The SAG Awards are nominated and voted on by those in the Screen Actors Guild, so it’s actors celebrating other actors. In fact, only two shows were nominated in that category: Big Little Lies and Feud. Three Billboards has three nominations in the major categories, and Big Little Lies has three in the Outstanding Supporting Performance in a Limited Series category alone.
The list of nominees for the SAG Awards is here, and fans of Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, Big Little Lies and, uh, the entire company of Netflix are going to be cheered by the full sheet.
