It is officially the beginning of awards season as the Screen Actors Guild announces their SAG award nominees today, December 10th, just before the Golden Globe nominees are announced tomorrow. And so begins the speculation: who will win?
Birdman, the black-comedy about a superhero actor trying to make a comeback featuring Michael Keaton and Edward Norton, was the most nominated feature film, with four nominations. These included Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture (or Best Cast), which is the SAG Awards’ equivalent of Best Picture. Not to mention the Best Actor nods for Michael Keaton, Emma Stone, and Edward Norton. Boyhood, The Imitation Game and The Theory of Everything followed in the feature film category with three nods each. For television, Game of Thrones, House of Cards, and Boardwalk Empire led the pack with three nominations each. As for individual actors, Benedict Cumberbatch scored big with three nominations, including two for the feature film, The Imitation Game, as well as Best Actor in a Mini-Series with his role in Sherlock: His Last Vow.
