SAG Film Nominations: Who Surprised, Who Got Snubbed?

Some large surprises within the SAG Award film nominations today--mostly from the bad variety. Latecomers towards the race like "The Lady Using the Dragon Tattoo" and "Very Noisy and extremely Close" were overlooked--from speaking to Nom Comm people, I learned virtually nobody saw either. Despite screeners and special tests, the films have to get available earlier, most likely by Thanksgiving a minimum of. The main one exception is Meryl Streep for "The Iron Lady" but let us be truthful she's Meryl Streep.In conclusion by category:Male Actor inside a Leading Role: DEMIN BICHIR / Carlos Galindo - "A Much Better Existence"GEORGE CLOONEY / Matt King - "THE DESCENDANTS" LEONARDO DiCAPRIO / J. Edgar Hoover - "J. EDGAR" JEAN DUJARDIN / George - "THE ARTIST" Kaira PITT / Billy Beane - "MONEYBALL"Pleased to see Bichir slip set for his great operate in "A Much Better Existence." Not too pleased to begin to see the omissions of Michael Shannon for "Take Shelter" and Michael Fassbender for "Shame." Also, while Gary Oldman did not obtain a jerk for "Mess Tailor Soldier Spy," I do think he'll ultimately have an Oscar nomination. The film is simply now being seen by people, and buzz should build for that lengthy-respected actor within the coming days.Female Actor inside a Leading Role: GLENN CLOSE / Albert Nobbs - "ALBERT NOBBS" VIOLA DAVIS / Aibileen Clark - "The AssistanceInch MERYL STREEP / Margaret Thatcher - "THE IRON LADY" TILDA SWINTON / Avoi - "We Have To Discuss KEVIN"MICHELLE WILLIAMS / Marilyn Monroe - "MY WEEK WITH MARILYN" Can't argue with these nominees. Was beginning to obtain worried for Close, whose been left off some recent lists, such as the Critics' Choice Movie Honours, but stars came through on her. I wouldn't say this list is foolproof if this involves the Oscar nominations, however, as Charlize Theron could still slip set for "Youthful Adult. " Not surprised that SAG did not choose her, as numerous Nom Comm voters I spoken to found the film unfulfilling. But she's not from the race with a lengthy shot.Male Actor inside a Supporting Role: KENNETH BRANAGH / Mister Laurence Olivier - "MY WEEK WITH MARILYN"ARMIE HAMMER / Clyde Tolson - "J. EDGAR"JONAH HILL / Peter Brand - "MONEYBALL"NICK NOLTE / Paddy Conlon - "WARRIOR"CHRISTOPHER PLUMMER / Hal - "BEGINNERS"So relieved Nick Nolte made the cut. But shocked that Albert Brooks, that has been accumulating experts honours for "Drive," was snubbed. Also disappointed Patton Oswalt wasn't famous for "Youthful Adult," when i think he steals the film. But when i stated earlier, the Nom Comm was lukewarm around the movie. I still think Brooks and Oswalt can sneak in to the Oscar race, and would say Hammer and Hill would be the most vulnerable. As always, this is actually the best area--each one of these stars are wonderful.Feminine Actor inside a Supporting Role: BRNICE BEJO / Peppy - "THE ARTIST"JESSICA CHASTAIN / Celia Foote - "The AssistanceInchBethany McCARTHY / Megan - "BRIDESMAIDS"Jesse McTEER / Hubert Page - "ALBERT NOBBS"OCTAVIA SPENCER / Minny Jackson - "The AssistanceInchPleased that McCarthy made the cut, excited Chastain ws recognized, and also the other three aren't any-brainers. I'm surprised, however, that Shailene Woodley wasn't famous for "The Descendants." Would not have loved a jerk on her co-star Judy Greer, but understood it had been a longshot. And Vanessa Redgrave, when the leader for "Coriolanus," continues to be basically forgotten.Cast of the Film: "THE ARTIST""BRIDESMAIDS""THE DESCENDANTS""The AssistanceInchInchNight time IN PARIS" No arguments here. Would be pleased with these fine ensembles winning.Read Back Stage's nominations announcement here. Find Out More ON Behind The Curtain
