The SAG Awards nominations are in!
By Rachelle / 05 Feb 2021 (Friday)
The Screen Actors Guild has officially announced their nominees for the best film and television performances of 2020 for the 27th Annual SAG Awards!
The overlap between SAG members and the Academy’s acting branch is numerous, which makes the SAG Awards a good bellwether of the Oscar race. So for all the names you'll see in the film category on this list, you can expect them to be present at the Oscars as well.
Last year’s film SAG Awards nominations were dominated by the likes of The Irishman and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, but it was Bong Joon Ho’s Parasite ensemble that took home the top prize for Outstanding Cast in a Motion Picture. We all know that Parasite went on to win the Best Picture Oscar. All four SAG film acting winners repeated at the Oscars: Laura Dern for Best Supporting Actress (Marriage Story), Brad Pitt for Best Supporting Actor (Once Upon a Time in Hollywood), Renee Zellweger for Best Actress (Judy) and Joaquin Phoenix for Best Actor (Joker).
2020's SAG TV Awards on the other hand went to The Crown (Best Cast in a Drama Series) and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel (Best Cast in a Comedy Series). Given that The Crown had one of its most prestigious seasons in late 2020, the Netflix royal drama series is expected to come up victorious once again in 2021. None of the four 2020 SAG TV acting winners are eligible in 2021 (Jennifer Aniston, Peter Dinklage, Tony Shalhoub, and Phoebe Waller-Bridge) which means the door is wide open for newcomers to emerge!
