2016 sag awards

The 2016 Screen Actors Guild (or SAG) Awards were held last night, honoring the best in last year’s movies and television. Unlike the Oscars, the SAG Awards were a bit more diverse this year, with Idris Elba winning acting prizes for his roles in Beasts of No Nation and Luther. Meanwhile, Spotlight took home the award for Best Ensemble in a Motion Picture, which is basically the SAG’s Best Picture award.

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.
