12 Years A Slave And The Butler Lead The Way With SAG Nominations
Posted on Wed Dec 11th, 2013 9:05am PDT By X17 Staff
The nominees for the 20th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards were announced today, and 12 Years a Slave led the list of nominees with four nods, including best ensemble cast, male actor in a leading role (Chiwetel Ejiofor) and supporting nods (Michael Fassbender and Lupita Nyong’o). The Butler earned three nominations, including best ensemble cast, male actor in a leading role (Forest Whitaker) and supporting actress (Oprah Winfrey).
The LA Times notes that the ensemble cast honor is essentially the equivalent of best picture, and other films in that category include, August: Osage County, Dallas Buyers Club and American Hustle. And yes, silver screen darling Jennifer Lawrence picked up a SAG nom for her role in the latter of those three films.
Bruce Dern (Nebraska), Tom Hanks (Captain Phillips) and Matthew McConaughey (Dallas Buyers Club) rounded out the lead actor category, but it could be anyone's game for the leading actress honor with Cate Blanchett (Blue Jasmine), Sandra Bullock (Gravity), Judi Dench (Philomena), Meryl Streep (August: Osage County) and Emma Thompson (Saving Mr. Banks) among the nominees.
LAT also notes that many SAG nominees and winners go on to nab Academy Award nominations and honors; for example, last year Daniel Day-Lewis, Jennifer Lawrence and Anne Hathaway all took home the Oscar after winning top prizes at the SAG Awards.
The SAG Awards will air live on January 18, 2014 at 5pm PST on TBS and TNT from the Shrine Exposition Hall in Los Angeles. Click through to see the complete list of nominees!
