“The Banshees of Inisherin” and “Everything Everywhere All at Once” pick up important nods. Michelle Williams is shut out.
The dark Irish comedy “The Banshees of Inisherin” and the sci-fi hit “Everything Everywhere All at Once” led this year’s nominations for the Screen Actors Guild Awards, which were announced on Wednesday morning. What’s more, both films tied a SAG record: Each scored four individual acting nominations plus an ensemble nod, a five-nomination tally that has only been managed in the past by “Shakespeare in Love,” “Chicago” and “Doubt.”
Coming one day after a Golden Globes ceremony that also saw “Banshees” and “Everything Everywhere” reap significant rewards, both films can be considered top contenders as we enter the homestretch of Oscar season. Steven Spielberg’s autobiographical “The Fabelmans,” which took the Globes for best director and best drama, was dealt the most significant SAG snub when its star, Michelle Williams, failed to make the powerhouse best actress lineup.
All three movies were nominated for SAG’s top ensemble award, though the category was filled out by the surprise appearances of “Babylon” and “Women Talking,” two films that could not muster a single individual acting nomination between them.
As a predictor of eventual Oscar success, the SAG Awards can be hit or miss. Last year, even though all four of the actors who won SAGs went on to triumph at the Oscars, the two shows had very different lists of nominees: In the supporting actor and actress races, for example, just two of the SAG nominees in each category went on to receive an Oscar nomination.
That means some of Wednesday’s snubbed actors could still break through with Oscar voters, just as SAG snubs like Kristen Stewart (“Spencer”) and Judi Dench (“Belfast”) managed last year. But it also means that your eventual Oscar winners will probably come from these SAG shortlists.
The SAG Awards will be handed out on Feb. 26. Here is the complete list of nominees:
