SAG Award Nominations Led by House of Cards, Trumbo
25/01/2016
Bleecker Street's Trumbo, a biopic about blacklisted screenwriter Dalton Trumbo, took nods for best ensemble cast, Bryan Cranston for best actor and Helen Mirren for supporting actress in the role of Hedda Hopper. Mirren also received a best actress nom for Woman in Gold.
Netflix's House of Cards scored nominations for ensemble cast in TV drama series and leads Kevin Spacey and Robin Wright. Edie Falco extended her record of SAG nominations to 22 - 14 for individual performances, eight for cast - with nominations for ensemble cast and actress for comedy series Nurse Jackie.
Idris Elba and Mark Rylance joined Mirren with double individual SAG nominations. Elba received a supporting actor nod for film for Netflix's Beasts of No Nation and for lead actor in the TV movie-miniseries category for Luther.
Wow I'm just floored and humbled right now, Elba said. It's such a huge honor to be recognized by my friends and peers and for two projects that have really been such an important part of my life, Luther and Beasts of No Nation. It goes without saying that my performance is shared with the tremendous actors I work with.
Rylance took noms in the supporting actor category for his turn as captured Russian spy Rudolf Abel in Steven Spielberg's Bridge of Spies and in the TV movie-miniseries category for PBS's Wolf Hall.
Cranston will go up against Leonardo DiCaprio for The Revenant, Johnny Depp for Black Mass, Michael Fassbender for Steve Jobs and Eddie Redmayne for The Danish Girl. Redmayne won the trophy this year for The Theory of Everything.
It means a great deal to be recognized by my peers during such a wonderful year of filmmaking, Redmayne said. The Danish Girl' took a long while to get made and I am damn lucky that I ended up having the honor of helping bring Lili and Gerda's story to the screen.
Trumbo will face the ensemble casts for Beasts of No Nation, Straight Outta Compton The Big Short and Spotlight.
The three nominations for Trumbo underline the strong preference among SAG voters for Hollywood-based stories such as Argo, which won the SAG cast ensemble trophy two years ago, then won the Oscar Best Picture.
Jennifer Lawrence's Joy, which won't open until Christmas, was shut out. In the morning's biggest surprise, comedian Sarah Silverman garnered a nomination in the actress category for her dramatic turn in I Smile Back. She and Mirren will face Cate Blanchett for Carol, Brie Larson for Room and Saiorse Ronan for Brooklyn.
I'm honored to be nominated by SAG not only because they are my peers, but also because I'm overwhelmed to be recognized alongside actors whose work I admire so much, Ronan said. I've been lucky enough to be a working actor for almost 10 years and the mere fact that people can finally pronounce my name is pretty exciting! I share this with the whole Brooklyn family.
Two other high-profile movies opening on Christmas - Quentin Tarantino's The Hateful Eight and Will Smith's Concussion - were also shut out along with Fox's box office hit The Martian.
Jennifer Jason Leigh had been regarded as a likely nominee in the supporting actress category for The Hateful Eight but The Weinstein Co. opted to forego sending screeners. Those nominations went to Mirren for Trumbo, Rooney Mara for Carol, Rachel McAdams for Spotlight, Alicia Vikander for The Danish Girl and Kate Winslet for Steve Jobs.
This makes me very very happy, said Winslet, who has now amassed a dozen SAG nominations and won three times for The Reader, Mildred Pierce and Sense and Sensibility.
Vikander, who scored her first SAG nom, said, I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to bring this poignant and courageous love story to the screen. I share this with the extraordinary Eddie Redmayne, the cast and crew, and, of course, our director Tom Hooper for making it all possible.
Mara won the Best Actress award at Cannes for her role in Carol.
The Big Short and The Revenant were the only films to receive nominations without having opened yet. Christian Bale took a supporting actor nod for The Big Short and will face Elba for Beasts, Rylance for Spies, Michael Shannon for 99 Homes and 9-year-old Jacob Tremblay for Room.
Tremblay, who is in Dubai for the premiere of Room, said, I am celebrating my SAG nomination with my family in Dubai. We're having ice cream sundaes tonight! Everything about Room' was amazing, especially working with Brie and becoming best buddies. I can't believe it, so cool!
In TV voting, SAG's nominating committee largely opted for the usual suspects. Key and Peele and Transparent were the newcomers in the comedy series category along with four repeats: CBS' The Big Bang Theory, ABC's Modern Family, Orange Is the New Black (the 2015 victor) and HBO's Veep.
Mad Men landed a drama ensemble nomination along with a nod for star Jon Hamm after being left out last year. The rest of the nominees in the category matched last year's with PBS' Downton Abbey, HBO's Game of Thrones, Showtime's Homeland and Netflix's House of Cards.
The drama series actor category saw a pair of new nominees with Rami Malek of USA's Mr. Robot, and Bob Odenkirk of AMC's Better Call Saul. Repeat nominees were Peter Dinklage for Game of Thrones, last year's winner Kevin Spacey for House of Cards and Hamm, who scored his fifth individual nom for Mad Men.
SAG voters repeated the same five nominees for female drama series including Viola Davis, who won last January for How to Get Away With Murder along with Claire Danes ( Homeland ),
