In an Instagram live feed early Thursday morning (American time), Lily Collins and Daveed Diggs announced the nominees for the 2021 Screen Actors Guild Awards. As predicted by many critics, films and television shows that gained much popularity during quarantine last year have dominated the list.
Sidelined in all categories by the Golden Globe Awards, Spike Lee’s ‘Da 5 Bloods’ has secured a mention in the ‘cast in a motion picture’ category (the highest prize at the SAG Awards) alongside ‘Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom’, ‘Minari’, ‘One Night In Miami’ and ‘Trial of the Chicago 7’.
Globe chosen contenders Carey Mulligan (Promising Young Woman), Frances McDormand (Nomadland), Vanessa Kirby (Pieces of a Woman) and Viola Davis (Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom) are repeated in the ‘female actor in a leading role for a motion picture’ category alongside Amy Adams for ‘Hillbilly Elegy’.
For ‘male actor in a leading role for a motion picture’ confirmed frontrunners include, Riz Ahmed, Chadwick Boseman, Anthony Hopkins, Gary Oldman and Steven Yeun for their impressive work in ‘Sound of Metal’, ‘Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom’, ‘The Father’, ‘Mank’ and ‘Minari’ respectively.
In the television category of ‘female actor in a drama series,’ ‘The Crown’ leading ladies Olivia Colman, Gillian Anderson and Emma Corrin are up against ‘Ozark’ memorable performers Julia Garner and Laura Linney.
Michaela Coel (I May Destroy You) has scored her very first award season mention after the shocking snub from the Golden Globe yesterday. Coel is mentioned in the ‘female actor in a television movie or limited series’ line-up against Anya Taylor-Joy (The Queen’s Gambit), Nicole Kidman (The Undoing), Cate Blanchett (Mrs. America) and Kerry Washington (Little Fires Everywhere).
The 2021 SAG Awards is scheduled to happen on Sunday, April 4, live on TNT and TBS at 9 p.m ET.
