Screen Actors Guild Award Nominations 2012
Nominations for the 18th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards were announced yesterday. The Screen Actors Guild Awards are the only awards show honoring movies and television with nominations by fellow actors, which makes this award an important one to receive. The movies The Descendants, Moneyball, and The Help have been movies the media speculated about for nominations during awards season and they did not disappoint, receiving a number of Guild nominations. It was great to see Melissa McCarthy’s performance in the comedy Bridesmaids being represented with a nod for Outstanding Performance By A Female Actor In A Supporting Role, and the entire cast being nominated for Outstanding Performance By A Cast In A Motion Picture. Steve Carell was nominated for Outstanding Performance By A Male Actor In A Comedy Series for his final season of The Office. No nominations for the many excellent performances in Community, Justified, or Sons Of Anarchy, which is unfortunate.
The Screen Actors Guild Awards will be held on Sunday, January 29, 2012 on TNT and TBS shown live simultaneously at 8:00 P.M. ET/5:00 P.M. PST. Check your local listings for more information.
