It’s one honor after another for a certain Paul Thomas Anderson movie.
“One Battle After Another” continued its winning streak with the Actor Awards nominations, setting a new record for the honors formerly known as the SAG Awards with seven nominations. (Since Saturday, the film has also won top prizes at the National Society of Film Critics Awards and the Critics Choice Awards.)
As expected, the “One Battle” cast made the cut for ensemble cast in a motion picture, as did individual performers Leonardo DiCaprio, Chase Infiniti, Benicio del Toro, Sean Penn and Teyana Taylor. The stunt team also got a nod.
“Sinners” came in second place with five nominations, followed by three each for “Marty Supreme,” “Hamnet” and “Frankenstein.” After a strong showing for part one last year, “Wicked: For Good” eked out a single nomination this year: Ariana Grande for supporting actress.
Continuing SAG-AFTRA’s notorious resistance to international films, neither “Sentimental Value” nor “The Secret Agent,” both strong players so far on the circuit, were snubbed.
In missing out, “The Secret Agent” star Wagner Moura and “Sentimental Value” actors Renate Reinsve, Stellan Skarsgard, and Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas join a formidable honor roll of actors who in recent years who have been bypassed by SAG for non-English-language performances but have then received Oscar nominations; they include Fernanda Torres for “I’m Still Here,” Sandra Huller for “Anatomy of a Fall,” Penelope Cruz for “Parallel Mothers” and Antonio Banderas for “Pain and Glory.”
The international snubs were by far the most noticeable oversights at the hands of the SAG-AFTRA nominating committee, which consists of a little more than 2,000 randomly-chosen members. Other well-regarded contenders who didn’t make the cut included Joel Edgerton for “Train Dreams,” Amanda Seyfried for “The Testament of Ann Lee” and Adam Sandler for “Jay Kelly.”
Odessa A’zion was probably the biggest surprise among the nominees, earning a nod for “Marty Supreme” over the likes of Emily Blunt for “The Smashing Machine,” Glenn Close for “Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery” and Elle Fanning and Lilleaas for “Sentimental Value.” Also unexpected: The young “Sinners” star Miles Caton nominated rather than Sandler or Caton’s “Sinners” castmate Delroy Lindo.
On the TV side, we’re still living in the age of “Adolescence,” “Hacks,” “The Pitt,” “Severance” and “The Studio,” but we are apparently entering the post-“The Bear” era. The once unbeatable FX “comedy” was shut out of the individual categories bit did score a nod for ensemble cast.
Lest there be any confusion, these are the awards formerly known as the SAG Awards, which SAG-AFTRA renamed in 2025. So it’s the first time we’re calling them the Actor Awards, but it’s also the 32nd Actor Awards. (Got that?) Over the past 16 years, a little more than 75% of the SAG nominees in the individual acting categories have gone on to receive Oscar nominations.
While a SAG ensemble nomination was once considered an absolute necessity for a film to have any chance of winning the Oscar for Best Picture, three films have done just that in the last nine years, with “The Shape of Water,” “Green Book” and “Nomadland” triumphing at the Oscars after being bypassed in the guild’s ensemble category.
“Abbott Elementary” Emmy nominee Janelle James and “Heated Rivalry” breakout Connor Storrie announced the nominees for the Actor Awards on Wednesday morning, ahead of the 32nd annual Actor Awards, which will stream live on Netflix on March 1.
