SAG Awards Commentary (Updated Jan. 6, 2025): Netflix’s Spanish-language crime musical “Emilia Pérez,” which dazzled on the Golden Globes on Sunday, is poised to dominate the upcoming SAG Awards nominations with 4 nods: cast ensemble, actress (Karla Sofía Gascón), and two supporting actress spots for Selena Gomez and Zoe Saldaña.

Projected to be scorching on its heels throughout the nominations tally are Frequent Footage’ blockbuster musical “Wicked” and Focus Choices’ papal thriller “Conclave,” each with three.

The SAG NomCom — comprised of two,000 anonymous guild members in film and TV — has a storied historic previous of surprises. Films like “House of Gucci” and “The Enormous Sick” have defied the odds to earn recognition, whereas others like “Crazy Rich Asians” and “Beasts of No Nation” liked SAG glory nonetheless have been shut out on the Oscars. The guild’s penchant for big, star-studded casts might give an edge to Sony Footage’ “Saturday Night,” which boasts an ensemble of 26 explicit particular person title taking part in playing cards. Must it get hold of a nomination, it may surpass “Gosford Park” (2001) for an important nominated cast in SAG historic previous.

Probably the greatest actor race is a nail-biter, with the fifth slot up for grabs. Could it go to Daniel Craig for his transformative flip in “Queer,” Hugh Grant for the horror thriller “Heretic,” or Sebastian Stan, who delivered stellar performances in every “The Apprentice” and “A Utterly totally different Man?” And with Stan, that may convey his co-star Jeremy Strong in for the journey as successfully.

Inside the fiercely aggressive best actress class, Gascón (“Emilia Pérez”) and Cynthia Erivo (“Wicked”) are anticipated to shine in musical performances, whereas Demi Moore (“The Substance”) and Mikey Madison (“Anora”) have been developing steam for weeks. Nonetheless, Marianne Jean-Baptiste’s groundbreaking portrayal in “Arduous Truths” might very effectively be the darkish horse. Jean-Baptiste not too way back achieved a unusual critics’ trifecta, worthwhile accolades from the NYFCC, LAFCA, and the Nationwide Society of Film Critics — a feat achieved by solely 5 totally different women — twice by Cate Blanchett (“Blue Jasmine” and “Tár”), Isabelle Huppert (“Elle”), and two totally different Leigh-directed most important ladies, Sally Hawkins (“Glad-Go-Lucky”) and Imelda Staunton (“Vera Drake”). Together with further confusion, Fernanda Torres, up to date off her Golden Globe win for “I’m Nonetheless Proper right here,” might disrupt the race for Angelina Jolie (“Maria”) and Nicole Kidman (“Babygirl”). I’m starting to contemplate the category’s depth suggests no frontrunner is genuinely protected.

The supporting performing courses promise to be equally aggressive. Clarence Maclin (“Sing Sing”) and Danielle Deadwyler (“The Piano Lesson”), every snubbed on the Golden Globes, might uncover redemption proper right here. Within the meantime, nonetheless unheralded contenders like Stanley Tucci (“Conclave”) and the duo from “A Full Unknown,” Elle Fanning and Monica Barbaro, keep wild taking part in playing cards. These courses normally have a very good time under-the-radar performances, providing an opportunity for breakouts.

The SAG Awards have prolonged been a bellwether for Emmy contenders, and this yr isn’t any utterly totally different. FX’s epic historic drama “Shōgun,” headlined by Hiroyuki Sanada and Anna Sawai, has already shattered information, turning into most likely probably the most embellished drama assortment in historic previous. We rely on it to nonetheless dominate with two Netflix assortment, “The Diplomat” and “Squid Recreation.”

In comedy, ABC’s “Abbott Elementary” stays a dominant drive, with its clever writing and seamless ensemble — led by Quinta Brunson — cementing its standing as an awards darling. Completely different most important contenders embody Hulu’s “Solely Murders throughout the Establishing,” that features comedic heavyweights Steve Martin, Martin Fast, and Selena Gomez, and FX’s culinary drama “The Bear,” which has grow to be certainly one of many yr’s most critically lauded assortment. Whether or not or not HBO/Max’s “Hacks” makes a roaring comeback stays.

The SAG Awards nominations might be unveiled on Wednesday, Jan. 8, with actors Joey King (“We Had been the Lucky Ones”) and Cooper Koch (“Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story”) asserting the honorees. It could very effectively be a career milestone for Koch, as he’s susceptible to score a nod for his chilling portrayal throughout the streaming assortment.

The last word SAG Awards nomination predictions are underneath.

The thirty first Show display Actors Guild Awards will air keep on Netflix on Sunday, Feb. 23, 2025, and the 97th Oscars might be held on Sunday, March 2.
