The entire awards season is essentially all about celebrating actors, but there’s only one ceremony every year that’s voted on solely by the stars themselves: the Screen Actors Guild Awards.
The 26th annual ceremony kicked off at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles Sunday night, paving a clear road ahead to Oscars glory, and honoring outstanding performances in television over the past year.
Top contenders in the film categories include Quentin Tarantino’s “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood,” Martin Scorsese’s three-and-a-half-hour mafia saga “The Irishman” and Jay Roach’s Fox News drama ”Bombshell.” Each film was nominated for four awards. “Jojo Rabbit” and “Parasite” from South Korean filmmaker Bong Joon Ho are also in the running for the night’s top prize — the award for Best Ensemble — with the latter being only the second foreign film to ever be nominated in that category.
Since the awards are decided by active members of the SAG-AFTRA guild, a group that heavily overlaps with the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences voting pool, it is a key bellwether of who will win at the Oscars.
The SAG Awards could also provide some redemption for stars like Jennifer Lopez, who delivered a career-best performance in “Hustlers,” and Lupita Nyong’o, who is nominated for a terrifying dual performance in “Us,” after they missed out on Oscar nods, which were announced last week.
Netflix once again dominated the SAG nominations in film and television categories — at the beginning of the night, it had potential to win 20 trophies. Among television shows, “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel,” starring Rachel Brosnahan, dominated with four nominations, with “The Crown,” “Fleabag,” “Game of Thrones,” “The Kominsky Method,” “The Morning Show” and “Stranger Things” trailing not far behind, with three nods each.
Leonardo DiCaprio will present screen legend Robert De Niro, who was snubbed in the Best Actor category for his performance in “The Irishman,” with this year’s Life Achievement Award to recognize his accomplishments on and off screen over his 54-year career.
For the first time since 2017, the ceremony will forego a master of ceremonies, following the recent trends of host-less awards shows.
