The Screen Actors Guild (SAG-AFTRA) is the next major Hollywood guild to announce the nominations for their annual ceremony, the SAG Awards. The celebration is focused only on acting, but due to the fact that many SAG-AFTRA members form an important part of the Academy, nominations here can further shape or break Oscar chances. The biggest awards of the night go to the main cast in a motion picture and the main ensembles in a comedy and drama series. Putting the greater Oscar race aside, the SAG Awards carry another unique quality in their stunt categories. Many people have been pushing for other awards bodies to give out recognition for stunt work, and you’ll get that here with two SAG categories dedicated to stunt ensembles in film and television.
Everything Everywhere All at Once and The Banshees of Inisherin are tied for the most film nominations at the 2023 SAG Awards with 5 each. Steven Spielberg’s The Fabelmans managed to leave a mark with 2 nominations. Other films that managed to score 2 SAG Award nominations include The Whale, The Woman King, and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. Literally, just after winning Golden Globes last night, Austin Butler, Colin Farrell, Cate Blanchett, Michelle Yeoh, Ke Huy Quan, and Angela Bassett have all continued to secure spots in their respective categories. One nomination that may come as a surprise is Adam Sandler in Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Leading Role for Netflix’s Hustle, but never count the sandman out.
The most nominated television show from the 2023 SAG Award nominations is Ozark with a tally of 4. Barry, Better Call Saul, and Only Murders in the Building then come in second with 3 nominations each. Again, after last night’s Golden Globes, Quinta Brunson, Jennifer Coolidge, Jeremy Allen White, Paul Walter Houser, Amanda Seyfried, Evan Peters, and Julia Garner nabbed spots in their respective categories and are shaping to be this awards season’s favorite in television.
After SAG-AFTRA’s decision to no longer air its ceremony on TBS and TNT, it has been revealed that the 29th Annual SAG Awards will be the first to be aired live on Netflix’s YouTube channel on Sunday, February 26 at 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT – the first move in a new multi-year partnership with the streaming giant. This could set the 2023 SAG Awards apart from any other major guild awards this year. Check out the full nominations list for the 2023 SAG Awards below, as first revealed by actors Ashley Park and Haley Lu Richardson on SAG-AFTRA’s socials. You can also check out the final winners from the 2023 Golden Globes, Gotham Awards, and our very own DiscussingFilm Critic Awards right here on the site.
