Screen Actors Guild Awards nominees are usually the best predictor of where the Oscars are going. Andrea Zuckerman from Beverly Hills High is president of SAG.
“La La Land” was snubbed for Best Ensemble– SAG voters probably saw it as a two hander with just Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling featured. Big surprise that “Captain Fantastic” roared into the picture, and Viggo Mortensen. No Tom Hanks. In Best Actress, Emily Blunt surprised everyone with “Girl on a Train.” Annette Bening was iced out. I don’t think that will happen at the Oscars. That was unexpected. So there are a lot of surprises today. What happened to Bening and “20th Century Women”? It seems like A24 has put all its resources into “Moonlight.” That’s very disappointing. Mike Mills’ wonderful film deserves better.
In TV: Jane Fonda was finally nominated for “Grace and Frankie” in Best Actress, Comedy. It’s about time! And Sterling K. Brown — the man of the hour on TV– received two nominations, for “The People vs. OJ Simpson” and “This is Us.”
