The Screen Actors Guild Awards, formerly known as the SAGs, are now the Actor Awards, although everyone I know who works in Hollywood and the entertainment industry in general still says “SAG.” I wonder how long it will take to figure this out.
Anyway, the nominations took place today, announced by the incomparable Janelle James and the incredibly charming Connor Storrie, aka Ilya Rozanov from Heated rivalry. And there are SURPRISES. Neglects and surprises. We're concentrating on the films here because that's where the snubs and surprises are, although let's start with the positives…
It was expected that One battle after another would have done well, and is now firmly in the front-runner for the Best Picture Oscar. But Sinners is not going anywhere, and today was a really strong indicator for Sinners as both Wunmi Mosaku and Miles Caton were nominated in the supporting categories – which is HUGE considering they didn't make as much noise as the other competitors. And as I have noted many times about Wunmi, she is the heart and soul of the film!
SAG clearly believes strongly that Sinners and that bodes well for the film heading into Oscar nomination time. Again, woman He’s probably in the lead, but there’s no need to run away with him.
However, the shock from the film's side is that Sentimental value was completely closed. In fact, not a single non-English language film was nominated. Sentimental value was considered a Cannes contender, critics consider it one of the best films of 2025, and the fact that it didn't receive a single nomination is insane considering how it was submitted to so many other associations, boards, etc.
However, while there are certainly many similarities between SAG and the Oscars, the Oscars are now arguably more international than the Screen Actors Guild in membership. So it will be interesting to see whether this will have positive consequences not only for Sentimental value but also It was just an accident, Sirat, there is no other choice.And Secret agent.
Talking about Secret agent I was just saying in today's open about Wagner Moura – and he was excluded from the list. The actor who may have taken his place is Jesse Plemons in Bugonia, and you remember in my post about Jennifer Lawrence and Emma Stone earlier todayI mentioned Emma's popularity; It's no surprise that she's doing SAG with Jesse, which speaks volumes about how well this campaign is working behind the scenes.
While the SAGs broke for Emma, they didn't break for Cynthia Erivo. No Cynthia Erivo or Renate Reinswe, but Kate Hudson is nominated? She never defeats such people”industrial plant“But it also tells you about the guild insider. Kate has so many connections in Hollywood, and the people running her campaign clearly went out of their way to pull this off.

Until then…please enjoy it. This is exactly the kind of interaction I was hoping for.

What else happened today…
SAG members didn't like Stellan Skarsgård and Sentimental value But The Internet was so hungry for Stellan and his sons and yes they should all do a movie or reality show together which takes so much time. For all the money they threw at Mister Beast, I'd spend it on the Skarsgård family. (Pajiba)
Helen Mirren and Sarah Jessica Parker were honored ahead of this weekend's Golden Globes. Does this mean that perhaps they will be there on Sunday as presenters? SJP's looks are underwhelming, perhaps she's saving her best bit for the weekend. (Go fuck yourself)
can't wait for season two Beef. And it will happen in April! (Mary Sue)
It's officially a new year for Nicole Kidman. The divorce is official.. Hair is curly. Skin glows. My lewd senses are tingling… in a good way. Nicole will give us good gossip in 2026. (Selebichi)
