2023 SAG Awards: The Banshees Of Inisherin, Ozark lead nominees as ceremony lands on Netflix
Surprise! The 2023 SAG Awards will air live on Netflix (and YouTube)
The 2023 Golden Globes are officially history and the 2023 Oscars are still a mystery, but we have another award show to unpack in the meantime: the Screen Actors’ Guild Awards, which announced their spate of 2023 nominees this morning.
While the Globes are more like the Oscars in honoring a wider range of film (and television) production like directors, writers, and musicians, the SAG Awards focus solely on actors. In the film categories, Globe favorites The Banshees Of Inisherin and Everything Everywhere All At Once both earned nods for Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture. For single awards, SAG seems to predict what will surely be some of the Academy’s most contentious matchups in Brendan Fraser versus Austin Butler and Michelle Yeoh versus Cate Blanchett in Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Leading Role and Female Actor in a Leading Role, respectively (of course, either of these awards could always go to a secret third option—don’t count out Colin Farrell or Danielle Deadwyler quite yet).
In the television category, the second season of The White Lotus scored an expected nod for Outstanding Ensemble, while Jennifer Coolidge picked up an individual nod for her work on the series (which was weirdly classified as a drama). Other notable performances include Bob Odenkirk, Zendaya, and newcomer Jenna Ortega.
While the ceremony has aired on TBS and TNT for decades, it was announced back in May that the annual show had been pulled from the air thanks to (surprise!) Warner Bros. Discovery. However, this morning, the guild announced that they had secured a spot for the February 26 ceremony to air on Netflix, as the streamer ventures further into live programming. The ceremony will kick off at 5 p.m. PT/8 p.m. ET.
The full list of nominees follows below.
Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Television Movie or Limited Series
Steve Carell, The Patient
Taron Egerton, Black Bird
Sam Elliott, 1883
Paul Walter Hauser, Black Bird
