SAG Awards 2023 Nominations: The Complete List
The 2023 Screen Actors Guild Awards nominations were revealed on Wednesday morning by Ashley Park (“Emily in Paris”) and Haley Lu Richardson (“The White Lotus”), with “The Banshees of Inisherin” and “Everything Everywhere All at Once” leading the list.
Along with “Shakespeare in Love” (1998), “Chicago” (2002), and “Doubt,” the two comedies share the record for the most nominations in the history of the awards event with five each (2008).
The two comedies, along with Steven Spielberg’s “The Fabelmans,” Damien Chazelle’s “Babylon,” and Sarah Polley’s profoundly uplifting “Women Talking,” is among the movies honored for cast ensemble.
The current season race’s clarity, a crucial omen for the Oscars’ acting categories, came into startling focus.
The dark Irish comedy “Banshees,” from writer and director Martin McDonagh, received nominations in all the usual categories, including four for Colin Farrell, Brendan Gleeson, Barry Keoghan, and Kerry Condon.
The creative multiverse story “Everything Everywhere” by the Daniels brothers garnered praises for Michelle Yeoh and Ke Huy Quan, but with the welcome addition of Jamie Lee Curtis and rising star Stephanie Hsu.
In contrast to the Golden Globes, which divide their awards into categories according on genre, the group accepted a welcome number of first-time nominations in the acting categories.
Along with Farrell, the lead actor cast also includes Austin Butler (“Elvis”), Brendan Fraser (“The Whale”), Bill Nighy (“Living”), and, surprisingly, Adam Sandler (“Hustle”). All of these actors are debutants. It was a significant boost for Sandler’s campaign since he had previously been overlooked despite giving acclaimed performances in “Uncut Gems” and “Punch-Drunk Love” (2002). (2019).
The SAG programme has perfectly mirrored the Academy Awards lineup for the past two years. If so, it would mark the first time since the 1934 cast of three actors—Clark Gable in “It Happened One Night,” Frank Morgan in “The Affairs of Cellini,” and William Powell in “The Thin Man”—that all candidates were first-timers. This statistic may be encouraging for prior candidates and winners who are now in the running, such as Tom Cruise (“Top Gun: Maverick”), Tom Hanks (“A Man Called Otto”), and Hugh Jackman (“The Son”).
