SAG Awards: Nominations

The ones I correctly predicted are in bold

Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Leading Role

GEORGE CLOONEY / Michael Clayton – “Michael Clayton” (Warner Bros. Pictures)
DANIEL DAY-LEWIS / Daniel Plainview – “There Will Be Blood” (Paramount Vantage)
RYAN GOSLING / Lars Lindstrom – “Lars And The Real Girl” (Sidney Kimmel Entertainment)
EMILE HIRSCH / Christopher McCandless– “Into The Wild” (Paramount Vantage)
VIGGO MORTENSEN / Nikolai – “Eastern Promises” (Focus Features)

I got 3/5, counting my alternate prediciton for Viggo Mortensen. Ryan Gosling is surprising with all the love going towards his performance, but not his movie as a whole. The SAGs definitely loved Into the Wild much more than the Golden Globes.

Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Leading Role

CATE BLANCHETT / Queen Elizabeth I – “Elizabeth: The Golden Age” (Universal Pictures)
JULIE CHRISTIE / Fiona – “Away From Her” (Lionsgate)
MARION COTILLARD / Edith Piaf – “La Vie En Rose” (Picturehouse)
ANGELINA JOLIE / Mariane Pearl – “A Mighty Heart” (Paramount Vantage)
ELLEN PAGE / Juno MacGuff – “Juno” (Fox Searchlight Pictures)

I got 4/5 here, thinking that Cate Blanchett's performance would only make a blip at the BFCA's and the Golden Globes. I was wrong. Why is her performance getting all these award noms? I haven't seen The Golden Age, and I would probably love her performance, but doesn't everyone else think the movie is horrible? She better not get an Oscar nomination.

Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Supporting Role

CASEY AFFLECK / Robert Ford – “The Assassination of Jesse James By The Coward Robert Ford” (Warner Bros. Pictures)
JAVIER BARDEM / Anton Chigurh – “No Country For Old Men” (Miramax Films)
HAL HOLBROOK / Ron Franz – “Into The Wild” (Paramount Vantage)
TOMMY LEE JONES / Ed Tom Bell – “No Country For Old Men” (Miramax Films)
TOM WILKINSON / Arthur Edens – “Michael Clayton” (Warner Bros. Pictures)

I got 4/5 here, thinking that Philip Seymour Hoffman would continue getting nominations. I don't think this will stop him from getting an Oscar nomination. Tommy Lee Jones' nod is a welcome surprise. I thought that they would nominate him for In the Valley of Elah, but he has been getting raves for this movie too so it's all good.

Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Supporting Role

CATE BLANCHETT / Jude – “I’m Not There” (The Weinstein Company)
RUBY DEE / Mama Lucas – “American Gangster” (Universal Pictures)
CATHERINE KEENER / Jan Burres – “Into The Wild” (Paramount Vantage)
AMY RYAN / Helene McCready – “Gone Baby Gone” (Miramax Films)
TILDA SWINTON / Karen Crowder – “Michael Clayton” (Warner Bros. Pictures)

I got 3/5 here thinking that the Atonement ladies and No Country for Old Men love would flow over here. Oh well. Cate Blanchett, Amy Ryan and Tilda Swinton are definitely getting Oscar nominations now. I don't think Keener has much of a chance and Dee has a slightly larger one. I also still think Ronan will get an Oscar nod.

GARRET DILLAHUNT / Wendell
TESS HARPER / Loretta Bell
WOODY HARRELSON / Carson Wells
TOMMY LEE JONES / Ed Tom Bell
KELLY MACDONALD / Carla Jean Moss

I got 3/5 here, correctly predicting Hairspray, (my alternate) Into the Wild, and No Country for Old Men. Atonement got completely shut out and I thought the cast of Before the Devil Knows You're Dead would get a nod. Juno would have been a great nom. Very interesting to see 3:10 to Yuma here, basically getting no recognition in the awards so far. Good for it. Seems like a great movie. American Gangster did better than expected overall.
