The 2016 SAG Awards Nominations Annouced, ‘Trumbo’ Leads With Three Nods
Awards season is in full swing and now the Screen Actors Guild Awards nominations are in.
While the SAG Awards are usually a pretty strong indicator of who’s going to win at the Oscars, this year’s nominees were all over the place. Not in a “Hmm, that’s peculiar” way, but in more of a “What the?!” way. Trumbo took the lead this year with three nominations, leaving award prognosticators and film journalists scratching their chins. Some other unexpected surprises were the complete shut-out of Joy, The Hateful Eight and The Martian, all of which feature actors very likely to end up getting Oscar noms (i.e. Jennifer Lawrence and Matt Damon).
The SAG nominees are clear deviation from the rest of the winners and noms coming out of award season so far. Carol and Spotlight led the New York and Los Angeles Film Critics Circle Awards, respectively, while the Todd Haynes’ film got the most Indie Spirit nominations and the Nation Board of Review gave Mad Max: Fury Road and The Martian the most accolades.
When it comes to TV the SAG voters didn’t honor much out of the ordinary, nominating the usual including The Big Bang Theory, Modern Family, Game of Thrones and Downton Abbey. Though some worthy newcomers Transparent, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt and Mr. Robot wiggled their way into the categories.
The winners of the 2016 SAG Awards will be announced on January 30, 2016 at 8:00 p.m. ET. Check out the full list of nominees below:
