Awards Season 2020: Screen Actors' Guild (SAG) Awards Nominations

More awards shenanigans today with the announcement of the 26th Annual Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards nominations. This is generally considered to be a bit of a bellwether award, as the voting body for SAG overlaps quite substantially with the actors' branch of the Academy. 

Below is the list of film nominations:

Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture

Bombshell

The Irishman

Jojo Rabbit

Once Upon A Time… In Hollywood

Parasite

Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Leading Role

Christian Bale (Le Mans '66 [a.k.a. Ford V Ferrari])

Leonardo DiCaprio (Once Upon A Time… In Hollywood)

Adam Driver (Marriage Story)

Taron Egerton (Rocketman)

Joaquin Phoenix (Joker)

Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Leading Role

Cynthia Erivo (Harriet)

Scarlett Johansson (Marriage Story)

Lupita Nyong'o (Us)

Charlize Theron (Bombshell)

Renée Zellweger (Judy)

Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Supporting Role

Jamie Foxx (Just Mercy)

Tom Hanks (A Beautiful Day In The Neighborhood)

Al Pacino (The Irishman)

Joe Pesci (The Irishman)

Brad Pitt (Once Upon A Time… In Hollywood)

Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Supporting Role

Laura Dern (Marriage Story)

Scarlett Johansson (Jojo Rabbit)

Nicole Kidman (Bombshell)

Jennifer Lopez (Hustlers)

Margot Robbie (Bombshell)

Outstanding Action Performance by a Stunt Ensemble in a Motion Picture

Avengers: Endgame

Le Mans '66 [a.k.a. Ford V Ferrari]

The Irishman

Joker

Once Upon A Time... In Hollywood

A couple of interesting inclusions to the list - lovely to see Lupita Nyong'o recognised for Us and I'm happy to see Taron Egerton on the list. This is the first major awards mentions for both Jamie Foxx and Nicole Kidman (her Bombshell co-stars Charlize Theron and Margot Robbie have both had Golden Globe and Critics' Choice nominations). No love for The Two Popes, Adam Sandler, or Robert De Niro, which I'm sure people will be calling a "snub" as I write this. This also gives a lot of people already mentioned in this awards season a boost towards the Academy nods. 

Once Upon A Time... In Hollywood, The Irishman, and Bombshell all have four nominations apiece, whilst Marriage Story has three. 

The Screen Actors' Guild (SAG) Awards will be handed out on 26th January 2020.

Right, we'll be taking a bit of a break from awards stuff til the start of 2020. Next will be the Writers' Guild of America (WGA) Awards on 6th January.
