The 2013 Screen Actors Guild Award nominations were announced this morning and certainly deliver a shake-up to the race as Zero Dark Thirty misses out on an ensemble nomination, The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel snags two nominations, Joaquin Phoenix isn’t nominated for The Master, Django Unchained doesn’t get a single nomination and both Helen Mirren (Hitchcock) and Naomi Watts (The Impossible) were nominated in the Best Actress race over Emmanuelle Riva (Amour).
Supporting nominations for Nicole Kidman (The Paperboy) and Javier Bardem (Skyfall) also add a litle spice to the mix.
As for the absence of Quvenzhané Wallis, Beasts of the Southern Wild was already determined to be ineligible for the SAG Awards because it was not made under the terms of SAG Low Budget Feature Agreement, which mandates the use of professional actors.
Last night on Twitter I was discussing the race with Kris Tapley from HitFix.com and Jeff Sneider from Variety and while Sneider was convinced Zero Dark Thirty was the Oscar front-runner both Tapley and I disagreed, my overall favorite being Lincoln.
But while I thought Zero Dark was at least a player, Tapley was convinced it was largely a race between Lincoln and Les Miserables, a sentiment Pete Hammond at Deadline was saying a week or so ago, and based on these nominations it would appear that’s exactly the case with Argo running third and Silver Linings clearly still in the game at fourth.
However, more on the Oscars a little later, for now here are the 2013 Screen Actors Guild Award nominees for Theatrical Motion Pictures and Primetime Television.
You can also check out the nominees on my official page for the 2013 Screen Actors Guild Awards right here, which will update live when the awards are handed out on January 27 at 8 p.m. (ET)/5 p.m. (PT).
