Moments ago, the Screen Actors Guild nominations for 2017 were announced, and boy did they contain some surprises. SAG hit on a fair number of the expected contenders, but they went in notably different directions as well, including a few huge snubs. Being the first of the Guilds to announce, that’s important. Their tastes will be what to watch. So, seeing Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri do so well is worth paying attention to, along with how Get Out was embraced. SAG is just one Guild, but they’ve now set the tone. It’s going to be fascinating to see where the race goes from here. Things are getting really exciting…
Below, you’ll be able to see all of the nominees, but just know that things were led at SAG by Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri. Also doing very well was Lady Bird, potentially setting up a big fight to the finish there, though watch out for Mudbound. On the flip side, Phantom Thread (including Daniel Day-Lewis) and The Post were shockingly shut out. Getting some surprise love was Judi Dench for her turn in Victoria and Abdul, Daniel Kaluuya for Get Out, and most fondly, The Big Sick making the cut in Best Ensemble. That version of Best Picture will be between The Big Sick, Get Out, Lady Bird, Mudbound, and Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri. That’s going to be quite the category. If the streak holds, our Best Picture winner at the Academy Awards will come from that group.
