2024 Screen Actors Guild Nominations

-


The SAG nominations are here and boy where there some surprises. Here is a full list of the nominations + my thoughts.

OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE BY A CAST IN A MOTION PICTURE
American Fiction
Barbie
The Color Purple
Killers of the Flower Moon
Oppenheimer
Half of Killers of the Flower Moon's native actors aren't even nominated due to them not getting their own title card, which is silly. I'm surprised Poor Things missed here. That's the biggest shock to me. 

OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE BY A FEMALE ACTOR IN A LEADING ROLE
Annette Bening – Nyad
Lily Gladstone – Killers of the Flower Moon
Carey Mulligan – Maestro
Margot Robbie – Barbie
Emma Stone – Poor Things
I wish I could replace Annette and Carey with Greta Lee and Aujanue Ellis-Taylor. Not to say they're bad, they definitely are not. But those performances resonated with me more.

OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE BY A MALE ACTOR IN A LEADING ROLE
Bradley Cooper – Maestro
Colman Domingo – Rustin
Paul Giamatti – The Holdovers
Cillian Murphy – Oppenheimer
Jeffrey Wright – American Fiction
Cooper continuing to get nominations for Maestro is just baffling to me, but whatever at this point. I need to see Rustin. Murphy, Right, and Giamatti are my three favorite lead actors performances so I'm very happy for them.

OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE BY A FEMALE ACTOR IN A SUPPORTING ROLE
Emily Blunt – Oppenheimer
Danielle Brooks – The Color Purple
Penelope Cruz – Ferrari
Jodie Foster – Nyad
Da’Vine Joy Randolph – The Holdovers
Penelope Cruz was a big surprise! Still rooting for my girl Da'Vine though.

OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE BY A MALE ACTOR IN A SUPPORTING ROLE
Sterling K. Brown – American Fiction
Willem Dafoe – Poor Things
Robert De Niro – Killers of the Flower Moon
Robert Downey Jr. – Oppenheimer
Ryan Gosling – Barbie
I love the inclusion of Sterling K. Brown but I miss Ruffalo and Charles Melton here. The perfect category would include them both along with Brown, RDJ and Gosling. 


OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE BY A MALE ACTOR IN A TELEVISION MOVIE OR LIMITED SERIES
Matt Bomer – Fellow Travelers
Jon Hamm – Fargo
David Oyelowo – Lawmen: Bass Reeves
Tony Shalhoub – Mr. Monk’s Last Case: A Monk Movie
Steven Yeun – Beef
I've only seen Beef and Fargo and both of these nominations are deserved. I wish Luke Kirby could've snuck in for Dr. Death, but I'm sure no one watched that. Rooting for Yeun.

OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE BY A FEMALE ACTOR IN A TELEVISION MOVIE OR LIMITED SERIES
Uzo Aduba – Painkiller
Kathryn Hahn – Tiny Beautiful Things
Brie Larson – Lessons in Chemistry
Bell Powley – A Small Light
Ali Wong – Beef
I weep for Elizabeth Olsen in Love & Death. Juno Temple is great in Fargo and I wish she would've been here too.

OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE BY AN ENSEMBLE IN A COMEDY SERIES
Abbott Elementary
Barry
The Bear
Only Murders in the Building
Ted Lasso

OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE BY A MALE ACTOR IN A COMEDY SERIES
Brett Goldstein – Ted Lasso
Bill Hader – Barry
Ebon Moss-Bachrach – The Bear
Jason Sudeikis – Ted Lasso
Jeremy Allen White – The Bear
I still maintain Hader is getting nominated for his dramatic turns in Barry, not his comedic ones. I'm just happy for The Bear and Ted Lasso, even though I wish Phil Dunster would've gotten some love. 

OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE BY A FEMALE ACTOR IN A COMEDY SERIES
Alex Borstein – The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel
Rachel Brosnahan – The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel
Quinta Brunson – Abbott Elementary
Ayo Edebiri – The Bear
Hannah Waddingham – Ted Lasso
I love the two Mrs. Maisel nominations because while the final season wasn't perfect, they continued to be. 

OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE BY AN ENSEMBLE IN A DRAMA SERIES
The Crown
The Gilded Age
The Last of Us
The Morning Show
Succession
I do not get the Morning Show love. I truly don't. I'm not sure if Dr. Death would've qualified for Drama Series or Limited series, but I'd put it here over that for sure. This is Succession's to win anyways. 

OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE BY A MALE ACTOR IN A DRAMA SERIES
Brian Cox – Succession
Billy Crudup – The Morning Show
Kieran Culkin – Succession
Matthew Macfadyen – Succession
Pedro Pascal – The Last of Us
Jeremy Strong not getting a nomination surprised me. Especially considering how method the dude is. 

OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE BY A FEMALE ACTOR IN A DRAMA SERIES
Jennifer Aniston – The Morning Show
Elizabeth Debicki – The Crown
Bella Ramsey – The Last of Us
Keri Russell – The Diplomat
Sarah Snook – Succession
Go Snook!

    I don't have a lot of skin in the game with most of these nominations, but I'm tickled to see that Ebon Moss-Bachrach getting some love for his work on The Bear. He's such an unlikable character for so much of the show until we really get into what motivates him. It's one of the better character redemptive arcs in recent years, and he plays the hell out of the Forks episode.

      YES! I agree with that assessment and that Forks episode is the one I re-watched the most. It was so great.

    Why Nyad? I heard it was mediocre at best. The same with Rustin? I do feel you on Liz Olsen. In fact, I'm crying for Natalie Portman as she's going through a rough patch in her life as I think she's getting divorced! I'm sad for her! :(

      Nyad was fine, but I'm also pretty surprised at the awards love its getting. I still need to see Rustin. Poor Natalie!

    Having just seen POOR THINGS, I'm shocked it's snubbed in the overall cast category. Glad Sterling K. Brown made it though, and I'm rooting for Emma Stone, though I'm torn between Cillian Murphy and Jeffrey Wright!

      SAME! I thought Poor Things would've been in cast.

Random Ramblings: The Radio Flyer Conundrum

Recently, I was talking to someone about who I thought were the best child actors when I was also a child.  Two that really stood out to me were Elijah Wood and Joseph Mazello, and one film those two were in together was called Radio Flyer.  Then I was reminded about the uniqueness of this film. Instead of reviewing the film, I wanted to have an open discussion about the ending. It deals with a tough issue; child abuse. What I’ve noticed is the way that the film ends is interpreted many different ways, and the filmmakers never came forward to say what was right and wrong. I’m interested in hearing everyone’s opinions on it. How did you interpret the ending? Obviously spoiler alerts will follow.. For those of you who haven’t seen the film, the basic premise is this: Two young boys, Mikey (Wood) and Bobby (Mazello) move in with their single mother and her boyfriend, who refers to himself as ‘The King’. It doesn’t take long for The King to start physically abusing ...

Indie Gems: Behind The Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon

Passionate about your profession? I had never heard of this film until it ended up on one of Jason's favorite horror movie lists around Halloween. It immediately sounded interesting to me, so of course I threw it in my Netflix queue. (and if I'm just now watching it after adding it around Halloween, you know how ridiculous my queue is) Taylor (Angela Goethals) is a journalist who, along with a film crew decides to follow around a serial killer named Leslie Vernon. (Nathan Baesel) He plans on doing the typical slasher thing - getting a bunch of drunk teens in an abandoned house and knocking them off one by one. He gets advice from a retired serial killer, Eugene (Scott Wilson) and is threatened by a man who's on to him, Doc Holloran (Robert Englund) Taylor and crew are there capturing it all. Leslie Vernon is fucking hilarious to start with, and clearly very passionate about what he does. He tells Taylor all of his secrets and can barely contain his excitemen...

My Favorite Movie Youtube Channels

-

Starting around 2018, I started watching Youtube for more than just movie trailers or music videos whenever a new one dropped. Now I'm in full blown subscription mode and don't bat an eyelash at watching a Youtube video that's over an hour long. I watch Youtube for a few different categories of content, but one of them that I love most is movie/TV essays and commentary, and that's what I'm going to talk about today. Below is a list of my favorite movie related Youtube channels. Let me know if you're familiar with them too, or if you have any you'd like to recommend to me.  Double Toasted - I'm honestly surprised this channel isn't bigger. I first came across Korey and Martin when they reviewed War for the Planet of the Apes a few months before it hit theaters and I thought they were hysterical. While their full length videos stream on Twitch, they often upload their movie reviews and commentary on youtube and they're always hilarious. They've...
