SAG Film Nominations: Who Surprised, Who Got Snubbed?

Some large surprises inside the SAG Award film nominations today--mostly in the bad variety. Latecomers for the race like "The Woman While using Dragon Tattoo" and "Very Noisy and very Close" were overlooked--from talking with Nom Comm people, I learned virtually nobody saw either. Despite screeners and special tests, the flicks need to get available earlier, probably by Thanksgiving no less than. The primary one exception is Meryl Streep for "The Iron Lady" but let's tell the truth she's Meryl Streep.To conclude by category:Male Actor in the Leading Role: DEMIN BICHIR / Carlos Galindo - "A Far Greater Existence"GEORGE CLOONEY / Matt King - "THE DESCENDANTS" LEONARDO DiCAPRIO / J. Edgar Hoover - "J. EDGAR" JEAN DUJARDIN / George - "THE ARTIST" Kaira PITT / Billy Beane - "MONEYBALL"Very happy to see Bichir slip looking for his great be employed in "A Far Greater Existence." Much less very happy to start to see the omissions of Michael Shannon for "Take Shelter" and Michael Fassbender for "Shame." Also, while Gary Oldman didn't get yourself a jerk for "Mess Tailor Soldier Spy," I actually do think he'll ultimately come with an Oscar nomination. The film is just now being seen by people, and buzz should build for your extended-respected actor inside the future.Feminine Actor in the 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 Must Discuss KEVIN"MICHELLE WILLIAMS / Marilyn Monroe - "MY WEEK WITH MARILYN" Can't argue with one of these nominees. Was starting to obtain worried for Close, whose been left off some recent lists, like the Critics' Choice Movie Honours, but stars came through on her behalf. I wouldn't say this list is foolproof if the requires the Oscar nominations, however, as Charlize Theron could still slip looking for "Youthful Adult. " Not surprised that SAG didn't choose her, as much Nom Comm voters I spoken to found the film unfulfilling. But she's not in the race having a extended shot.Male Actor in the 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's been accumulating experts honours for "Drive," was snubbed. Also disappointed Patton Oswalt wasn't famous for "Youthful Adult," after i think he steals the film. However when i mentioned earlier, the Nom Comm was lukewarm round the movie. I still think Brooks and Oswalt can sneak to the Oscar race, and would say Hammer and Hill will be the most vulnerable. Of course, this really is really the very best area--every one of these stars are excellent.Womanly Actor in the 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, as well as the other three are not any-brainers. I am surprised, however, that Shailene Woodley wasn't famous for "The Descendants." Will not have loved a jerk on her behalf co-star Judy Greer, but understood it absolutely was a longshot. And Vanessa Redgrave, once the leader for "Coriolanus," remains essentially forgotten.Cast from the Film: "THE ARTIST""BRIDESMAIDS""THE DESCENDANTS""The AssistanceInchInchNight amount of time in PARIS" No arguments here. Would enjoy these fine ensembles winning.Read Back Stage's nominations announcement here. Discover More About Behind The Curtain
