More awards shenanigans with today's announcement of the nominations for the 25th Annual Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards. These are for actors voted on by actors (so are usually a pretty good barometer for the Oscar acting awards as there's a lot of crossover between AMPAS and SAG memberships).

Generally speaking, a lot of the same names are cropping up, which will make things a bit easier when it comes to predicting the Oscar predictions.
However, there are couple of surprises (mainly Emily Blunt's two nominations). Perhaps her Leading Actress one is less of a surprise- other awards bodies have seen fit to recognise the performance, and Julie Andrews did win her Oscar for playing Mary Poppins, so... and I sadly haven't watched A Quiet Place (it was one I missed, but wanted to see) so I can't comment.
Interesting that SAG have gone with John David Washington over performances such as Willem Dafoe (At Eternity's Gate), Ryan Gosling (First Man) and Ethan Hawke (First Reformed). A total shut-out for If Beale Street Could Talk is also surprising, as Regina King's performance has been highly praised. It's also the first mention of Margot Robbie this season, for her performance as Elizabeth I (yes, you did read that right).
A Star Is Born has four nominations, whilst BlacKkKlansman and The Favourite have three apiece.The SAG Awards will be handed out on Sunday January 27th 2019. Congratulations to all the nominees!
Those of you not disposed to awards season will be pleased to know we take a bit of a break here over the Christmas period. So this is the last awards post of 2018. The next awards season post will be on 4th January, when the Producers' Guild (PGA) Award nominations will be announced.
