SAG NOMINATIONS!

The Screen Actors Guild (SAG) is composed of Hollywood actors and awards the Best in acting every year and the majority of the voters here are the ones that are gonna vote for the Oscars. Quite a disappointing lineup but hopefully the votes of the directors and screenwriters and producers (etc.) will get the nominations to shift come Oscar time. Ugh!


Best Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture
"3:10 TO YUMA"
"AMERICAN GANGSTER"
"HAIRSPRAY"
"INTO THE WILD"
"NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN"

Comments: No "Sweeney Todd," "Atonement," "Before the Devil Knows Your Dead" and "Charlie Wilson's War" in this category...the ones EXPECTED to get the most nods aren't nominated for anything...All of these nominees are unexpected except "No Country for Old Men". I'm glad "Hairspray" got a nomination though. Oh and it looks like "Into the Wild" is making up for its Golden Globe snubs.

Outstanding Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role
GEORGE CLOONEY - "Michael Clayton"
DANIEL DAY-LEWIS - "There Will Be Blood"
RYAN GOSLING - "Lars and the Real Girl"
EMILE HIRSCH - "Into the Wild"
VIGGO MORTENSEN - "Eastern Promises"

Comments: James McAcoy, Johnny Depp, Phillip Seymour Hoffman and Tom Hanks snubbed. All their chances are really slapped due to this. Gosling is rising slowly.

Outstanding Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role
CATE BLANCHETT - "Elizabeth: The Golden Age"
JULIE CHRISTIE - "Away From Her"
MARION COTTILARD - "La Vie en Rose"
ANGELINA JOLIE - "A Mighty Heart"
ELLEN PAGE - "Juno"

Comments: This category pisses me off the most, they give the overrated Angelina Jolie a nomination for her second-rate Marianne Pearle impersonation and they lock out the wonderful, bubby and amazing Amy Adams for her work in "Enchancted". THIS ISN'T RIGHT. The SAGS are crazy this year. However, I'm glad Cate is in.

Outstanding Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role
CASEY AFFLECK - "The Assignation of Jesse James"
JAVIER BARDEM - "No Country for Old Men"
HAL HOLBROCK - "Into the Wild"
TOMMY LEE JONES - "No Country for Old Men"
TOM WILKENSON - "Michael Clayton"

Comments: Exclude Lee Jones and add Phillip Seymour Hoffman ("Charlie Wilson's War") or John Travolta ("Hairspray") and you've got your Oscar nominees of 2007.

Outstanding Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role
CATE BLANCHETT - "I'm Not There"
RUBY DEE - "American Gangster"
CATHARINE KEENER - "Into the Wild"
AMY RYAN - "Gone Baby Gone"
TILDA SWINTON - "Michael Clayton"

Comments: Blanchett gets double nominations (just like Leonardo DiCaprio last year). I still can't believe they nominate Ruby Dee and no Denzel Washington though. Kinda crazy huh?

Generally: THIS YEAR'S SAG NOMINATIONS SUCK ASS.
