The 2024 Screen Actors Guild Awards nominations have been announced, and it’s a thrilling lineup! It’s that time of the year again when Hollywood actors recognize each other with awards for excellence in film and TV.
On the film side, Barbie and Oppenheimer lead the pack with four nominations each, including for Motion Picture ensemble and individual performances by Margot Robbie, Ryan Gosling, Cillian Murphy, Robert Downey Jr., and Emily Blunt. These nominations are a testament to the exceptional talent and hard work of these actors, and the recognition is well-deserved.
There were a few surprises among the film nominees. Killers of the Flower Moon’s Leonardo DiCaprio and Fantasia Barrino for her work in The Color Purple were notably absent from the leading actor and actress categories, despite the musical receiving a nod for its overall cast. However, Penélope Cruz’s work in Ferrari emerged as a surprise nominee for her supporting performance in the film.
On the TV side, the final season of HBO’s Succession scored five overall nominations. Other major nominees include Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey from The Last of Us, Quinta Brunson of Abbott Elementary, and several stars of Ted Lasso. These nominations highlight the diversity and quality of content available on television today.
As previously announced, Barbra Streisand will be honored with the 2024 SAG Life Achievement Award at the SAG Awards ceremony on February 24th. This is a fitting tribute to Streisand’s illustrious career and her contributions to the film industry.
The SAG Awards are a key stepping stone on the road to Oscars glory. Last year, SAG’s winners lined up perfectly with the Academy’s, with Jamie Lee Curtis, Ke Huy Quan, Michelle Yeoh, and Brendan Fraser all winning both the SAG Award and the Oscar for their respective performances. Will this year follow the same pattern? Only time will tell.
The 2024 SAG Awards nominations represent a diverse range of talent and genres. It’s an exciting time for film and TV, and we can’t wait to see who takes home the awards!
