Following last year’s virtual ceremony, the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards is set to return to its regularly scheduled in-person programming for its 28th year. Winners in 15 categories spanning both television and film will be determined by SAG-AFRTRA’s membership.
The ceremony tends to be an early indicator of outcomes at the Academy Awards, so it’s no surprise that this year’s nominees have a lot of crossover. Lady Gaga, who was notably snubbed by the Academy for her lead performance in “House of Gucci,” is up for Best Actress, as are Supporting Actress snubbees Ruth Negga (“Passing”) and Caitríona Balfe (“Belfast”). “Belfast,” “CODA,” “Don’t Look Up,” “House of Gucci” and “King Richard” are the nominees for Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture.
On the TV side, many familiar critical darlings are in contention, such as “Hacks,” “Mare of Eastown,” “Ted Lasso,” “Succession” and “The Handmaid’s Tale.” “Squid Game” made history as the first Korean and first non-English language series to score SAG nominations, and “Yellowstone” finally landed its first nod after being on the air for four seasons.
The stunt categories are a tight race between Marvel blockbusters and action epics on the film side, while series like “Squid Game,” “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier” and “Cobra Kai” facing off for the TV prize.
