In what time will SAG announce the nominations?
 
According to the website 9.00am Eastern Nth America time. So about 3 hours.
 
Thanks. SAG are the real deal Oscar predictors. As with DGA and PGA.

The best news to come from the SAG nominations, in my opinion, is that John Hawkes got the nod for Winter's Bone. That film is understated and beautiful, and Hawkes is the best he's ever been. Such an interesting character, and Hawkes really brought him to life.
 
About Leo, I will say as good as he was in INception...Cobb is a much less complex character than Teddy Daniels. Shutter Island lived or died on his performance. He was much more the center of an ensemble and the bulk of the weight of the movie lay in the director's hands. Also, the scene where SPOILERS Teddy/Leo remembers finding his children floating dead in the lake behind his house and has to collect their bodies and then mercy-kills his wife....as hard as it is to watch, it may be the best scene of Leo's career thus far.


On the Lynch thing. She usually plays similar characters. But Sue Sylvester is quite different from the character she plays frequently in Christopher Guest films or in Role Models, etc. Sue is a surprisingly multi-faceted character who has different tics than what we've seen of Lynch before now.

Personally, I thought DiCaprio has two amazing performances in Shutter Island and Inception, but it seems like most of the film awards have ignored him by giving the nominations to someone else. I was one of those people who didn't like Titanic and once thought he was overrated and only gotten by through his boyish good looks, but he has definitely changed my opinion of him. Let's see if the Oscar will give him some recognition in the Best Actor category, although I think it's pretty much a certainty that James Franco will win it for 127 Hours.
 
It looks like Mila Kunis' chances for a Supporting Actress nod are improving with both a GG and SAG nomination. Very surprised that Andrew Garfield got snobbed for Supporting Actor! I can see the Academy now favoring a nod to Renner or Ruffalo over him.
 
Yeah, I was sad that INception was snubbed for best ensemble and will always complain about Americans ignoring Rapace (especially for Hillary Swank!). But otherwise, it was an excellent list and is a much better indicator of Oscars than the joke of Globes nominations this year.
 
Oh I just saw Garfield was snubbed for a SAG nomination. I take back half of the praise I just gave to the SAG awards, I guess.
 
I think The Town should've gotten an ensemble nomination at SAG.

I'm honestly surprised neither Ryan Gosling nor Michelle Williams got a nomination for Blue Valentine.
 
I think The Town should've gotten an emsemble nomination at SAG.

very much agree. so much good talent. but there was definitely good competition, i'm sure at some point it must have been considered. it must have been close.
 
Whoa no Ensemble nod for Inception? Interesting.
 
Anyone who thinks Outsourced deserves any awards needs to be committed to an insane asylum from now to the end of time.
 
in the TV category, its too "sci-fi" for the press...theyd feel like "nerds" for watching or recognizing it
 
I honestly want to show to spinoff into a whacky science themed sitcom with Walter and Peter...call it 'The Bishops'

or have Walter and Peter visit Eureka
