SAG Awards nominate 㽶ƵֱBarbie,㽶Ƶֱ 㽶ƵֱOppenheimer,㽶Ƶֱ snub DiCaprio

Barbra Streisand will receive the SAG Life Achievement Award

30th Screen Actors Guild Awards on Wednesday heaped nominations on 㽶ƵֱOppenheimer,㽶Ƶֱ 㽶ƵֱBarbie㽶Ƶֱ and 㽶ƵֱAmerican Fiction,㽶Ƶֱ while snubbing Leonardo DiCaprio for best male actor.

As they were at the Golden Globes, Greta Gerwig㽶Ƶֱs 㽶ƵֱBarbie㽶Ƶֱ and Christopher Nolan㽶Ƶֱs 㽶ƵֱOppenheimer㽶Ƶֱ were again the lead nominees. Each film picked up four nods including best ensemble. Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling were nominated for their performances in 㽶ƵֱBarbie,㽶Ƶֱ while Cillian Murphy, Robert Downey Jr. and Emily Blunt received nods for 㽶ƵֱOppenheimer.㽶Ƶֱ

Barbenheimer continues to rule Hollywood㽶Ƶֱs awards season, just as it did the summer box office.

Cord Jefferson㽶Ƶֱs 㽶ƵֱAmerican Fiction㽶Ƶֱ got the biggest momentum boost, landing three nods: best ensemble, Jeffrey Wright for best male actor and Sterling K. Brown for supporting male actor.

Along with those three films, Martin Scorsese㽶Ƶֱs 㽶ƵֱKillers of the Flower Moon㽶Ƶֱ and Blitz Bazawule㽶Ƶֱs 㽶ƵֱThe Color Purple㽶Ƶֱ were nominated for best ensemble, the guild㽶Ƶֱs top award.

Most notably left out of that group was Yorgos Lanthimos㽶Ƶֱ 㽶ƵֱPoor Things,㽶Ƶֱ which on Sunday won best comedy/musical at the Golden Globes. The film㽶Ƶֱs star, Emma Stone, was nominated for best female actor while Willem Dafoe (but not Mark Ruffalo) was nominated for best supporting male actor.

But those were far from the only snubs in the nominations announced by Issa Rae, a co-star in both 㽶ƵֱBarbie㽶Ƶֱ and 㽶ƵֱAmerican Fiction,㽶Ƶֱ and Kumail Nanjiani on Instagram Live.

Nominated for best actor were Bradley Cooper (㽶ƵֱMaestro㽶Ƶֱ), Colman Domingo (㽶ƵֱRustin㽶Ƶֱ), Paul Giamatti (㽶ƵֱThe Holdovers㽶Ƶֱ), Murphy and Wright. DiCaprio had long been seen as a presumed nominee for his performance in Martin Scorsese㽶Ƶֱs 㽶ƵֱKillers of the Flower Moon.㽶Ƶֱ Lily Gladstone, who is poised to potentially make history at the Oscars, was among the best female actor nominees, while Robert De Niro was nominated for best supporting male actor.

Todd Hayne㽶Ƶֱs 㽶ƵֱMay December㽶Ƶֱ was completely shut out, as was Celine Song㽶Ƶֱs tender love story, 㽶ƵֱPast Lives.㽶Ƶֱ Charles Melton, co-star of 㽶ƵֱMay December,㽶Ƶֱ was expected to be among the supporting male actors. And neither Sandra Hüller (㽶ƵֱAnatomy of a Fall㽶Ƶֱ) nor Fantasia Barrino (㽶ƵֱThe Color Purple㽶Ƶֱ) scored individual nominations.

Along with Gladstone and Stone, the nominees for best female actor are Carey Mulligan (㽶ƵֱMaestro㽶Ƶֱ) and Annette Bening (㽶ƵֱNyad㽶Ƶֱ). Bening㽶Ƶֱs co-star, Jodie Foster, joined the supporting female actor category which also featured Da㽶ƵֱVine Joy Randolph (㽶ƵֱThe Holdovers㽶Ƶֱ), Danielle Brooks (㽶ƵֱThe Color Purple㽶Ƶֱ) and Penélope Cruz for 㽶ƵֱFerrari.㽶Ƶֱ

The SAG Awards are closely watched as an Oscar bellwether. Their picks don㽶Ƶֱt always align exactly with those of the film academy, but seldom is a best picture or acting winner not nominated first by SAG. That means any best picture hopes for films like 㽶ƵֱPoor Things㽶Ƶֱ just took a hit. 㽶ƵֱPast Lives,㽶Ƶֱ Celine Song㽶Ƶֱs tender love story, also was set back.

The last two best-ensemble winners 㽶Ƶֱ 㽶ƵֱEverything Everywhere All at Once㽶Ƶֱ and 㽶ƵֱCODA㽶Ƶֱ 㽶Ƶֱ went on to win best picture at the Oscars.

This year㽶Ƶֱs SAG Awards follow a grueling 118-day strike by the actors guild SAG-AFTRA that put Hollywood in a months-long battle over its future. Pay in the streaming era and artificial intelligence were top issues.

In the television categories, the trio that nearly swept the Golden Globes 㽶Ƶֱ 㽶ƵֱSuccession,㽶Ƶֱ 㽶ƵֱThe Bear㽶Ƶֱ and 㽶ƵֱBeef㽶Ƶֱ 㽶Ƶֱ were again among the lead nominees. 㽶ƵֱSuccession㽶Ƶֱ led all series with five nods (though Jeremy Strong was passed over), while 㽶ƵֱThe Last of Us,㽶Ƶֱ 㽶ƵֱTed Lasso㽶Ƶֱ and 㽶ƵֱThe Bear㽶Ƶֱ all collected four nominations.

The SAG Awards will take place Feb. 24 at the Shine Auditorium & Expo Hall in Los Angeles. Netflix will live stream the ceremony for the first time. Last year㽶Ƶֱs awards were streamed on Netflix㽶Ƶֱs YouTube account.

The show will mark one of Netflix㽶Ƶֱs most notable forays into live programming. The streamer, which has for years been an awards season force, will first to play host, too, in the runup to the Academy Awards in March.

Barbra Streisand will receive the SAG Life Achievement Award.
