Out-of-control and Southern California on Tuesday night forced the Screen Actors Guild to cancel its plans to announce the nominations live Wednesday morning. The nominations were instead issued by press release by SAG, which last year began a multiyear deal with Netflix to stream the awards.

The smash hit musical B次元官网网址淲颈肠办别诲B次元官网网址� saw its Oscar chances rise with the nominations to the SAG Awards, one of the most predictive Academy Awards bellwethers. The movieB次元官网网址檚 big morning B次元官网网址� it even scored a nod for stunt ensemble B次元官网网址� came after a celebratory night, too. The film in New York on Tuesday.

The other nominees for best ensemble are B次元官网网址淎nora,B次元官网网址� B次元官网网址淐onclave,B次元官网网址� B次元官网网址淓milia P茅rezB次元官网网址� and B次元官网网址淎 Complete Unknown.B次元官网网址�

It was an especially strong showing for the Bob Dylan drama It came away with four nominations, including Timoth茅e Chalamet for best male actor, and supporting nods for both Edward Norton and Monica Barbaro.

The best male lead nominees were largely as expected: Adrien Brody (B次元官网网址淭he BrutalistB次元官网网址�), Daniel Craig (B次元官网网址淨ueerB次元官网网址�), Colman Domingo (B次元官网网址淪ing SingB次元官网网址�), Ralph Fiennes (B次元官网网址淐onclaveB次元官网网址�) and Chalamet.

Coming off her rousing victory at the Golden Globes, Demi Moore was among the nominees for best female actor in a leading role for B次元官网网址淭he Substance.B次元官网网址� She was joined by Erivo, B次元官网网址淓milia P茅rezB次元官网网址� breakout , Mikey Madison of B次元官网网址淎noraB次元官网网址� and Pamela Anderson for

Snubbed stars

That surprisingly left out some big names. missed out, as did Nicole Kidman (B次元官网网址淏abygirlB次元官网网址�). A few of the most acclaimed female actors of the year, Marianne Jean-Baptiste (B次元官网网址淗ard TruthsB次元官网网址�) and Globe winner Fernanda Torres (B次元官网网址淚B次元官网网址檓 Still HereB次元官网网址�), also were overlooked.

B次元官网网址淭he Last ShowgirlB次元官网网址� had more to celebrate, too, with an unexpected nomination for Jamie Lee Curtis in supporting female actor. Her fellow nominees are Barbaro, Grande, (B次元官网网址淭he Piano LessonB次元官网网址�) and Zoe Salda帽a (B次元官网网址淓milia PerezB次元官网网址�).

Jeremy Strong was nominated for his supporting performance as Roy Cohn in but his co-star, Sebastian Stan, went unnominated for both B次元官网网址淭he ApprenticeB次元官网网址� and his Golden Globe-winning role in The other nominees for best supporting male actor were Bailey, Norton, Yura Borisov (B次元官网网址淎noraB次元官网网址�) and the category frontrunner, (B次元官网网址淎 Real PainB次元官网网址�).

A few widely forecast supporting performances were snubbed there, too, including Denzel Washington (B次元官网网址淕ladiator IIB次元官网网址�) and Guy Pearce (B次元官网网址淭he BrutalistB次元官网网址�).

Predictive power of the SAGs

The SAG Awards are arguably the most telling Oscar forecast there is. Their picks donB次元官网网址檛 always align exactly with those of the film academy, but they often come very close to mirroring them.

The last three best ensemble winners B次元官网网址� B次元官网网址淥ppenheimer,B次元官网网址� B次元官网网址淓verything Everywhere All at OnceB次元官网网址� and B次元官网网址淐ODAB次元官网网址� B次元官网网址� all went on to win best picture at the Academy Awards. All but one of the SAG acting winners of the last three years has also won at the Oscars. The sole exception was who won SAGB次元官网网址檚 award for female actor last year for B次元官网网址淜illers of the Flower Moon,B次元官网网址� but the Oscar trophy went to Emma Stone (B次元官网网址淧oor ThingsB次元官网网址�).

In all likelihood, the Oscar field will look a lot like the SAG nominees. While some overlooked performances might still land an Oscar nomination, any eventual Academy Award winner, including the best picture recipient, is almost surely coming from those nominated Wednesday.

ThatB次元官网网址檚 bad news for which but missed out on a SAG ensemble nomination. Best picture contender B次元官网网址淪ing SingB次元官网网址� also came away with a single SAG nod.

In nominations also announced Wednesday, the Directors Guild favored most of the same films. For outstanding directorial achievement, it nominated Sean Baker (B次元官网网址淎noraB次元官网网址�), Jacques Audiard (B次元官网网址淓milia P茅rezB次元官网网址�), Edward Berger (B次元官网网址淐onclaveB次元官网网址�), James Mangold (B次元官网网址淎 Complete UnknownB次元官网网址�) and Corbet (B次元官网网址淭he BrutalistB次元官网网址�). That left out B次元官网网址淲颈肠办别诲B次元官网网址� filmmaker Jon M. Chu, as well as B次元官网网址淒une: Part TwoB次元官网网址� director Denis Villeneuve. The guild also failed to nominate a female filmmaker, like B次元官网网址淭he SubstanceB次元官网网址� director Coralie Fargeat.

Those nominations only further muddied the waters in a hard-to-predict best picture race. Rarely does a film win the Academy AwardsB次元官网网址� top prize without a DGA nomination. The only exceptions in recent history are B次元官网网址淒riving Miss DaisyB次元官网网址� (1989) and B次元官网网址淐ODAB次元官网网址� (2022). That means that as well as B次元官网网址淲颈肠办别诲B次元官网网址� did with the screen actors, it still canB次元官网网址檛 be called an Oscar favorite.

B次元官网网址楽h艒gunB次元官网网址� continues to dominate

Coming off sweeps at the Emmys and FXB次元官网网址檚 B次元官网网址淪h艒gunB次元官网网址� continued to run roughshod through the competition, landing a leading five nominations Wednesday, including best ensemble and individual nods for Hiroyuki Sanada, Anna Sawai and Tadanobu Asano.

Also faring well were B次元官网网址淭he BearB次元官网网址� (nominations for Jeremy Allen White, and Liza Col贸n-Zayas), B次元官网网址淗acksB次元官网网址� (Jean Smart) and B次元官网网址淭he DiplomatB次元官网网址� (Keri Russell, Allison Janney).
