The Screen Actors Guild nominations are out and several of this year’s usual suspects have made the cut for the awards that are doled out to actors who are voted on by their peers in the SAG union. The SAG awards will air on TNT and TBS simultaneously on January 30, according to Deadline.
Black Swan’s Natalie Portman and The Kids Are All Right’s Annette Bening have landed on virtually every list of nominations for best actress from The Golden Globe Awards to the NY Critics, and now the two are leading the pack for the SAG award. Portman plays a psychologically cracked ballerina who engages in a hot lesbian fantasy while Bening plays a lesbian mom who engages in awful lesbian sex. Still, it’s great to see they are getting all of this attention. Joining them in the best actress film category are Nicole Kidman for Rabbit Hole, newcomer Jennifer Lawrence for Winter’s Bone and surprisingly Hilary Swank for the poorly received Conviction.
Mila Kunis scored an Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Supporting Role nod for Black Swan. Joining her in the category is Frozen River’s Melissa Leo for The Fighter, Amy Adams for The Fighter, Hailee Steinfeld for True Grit and Helena Bonham Carter for The King’s Speech.
The TV nods for best actress in a drama include Julianna Margulies, Kyra Sedgwick, Mariska Hargitay, Elisabeth Moss and Glenn Close while the best actress for comedy category includes Tina Fey, Sofia Vergara, Edie Falco, Betty White and Jane Lynch.
Mad Men, The Good Wife, Boardwalk Empire, Dexter and The Closer all landed nods for ensemble in a drama series while 30 Rock, Glee, Hot in Cleveland, Modern Family and The Office earned nominations for ensemble comedy.
