Every headline for this was basically, "The Actor Awards, formerly the SAG Awards..." What an unnecessary rebranding, 32 years into this thing. I don't know if I can pivot, or if I really care enough to; I feel like digging in and hoping they decide it's a pain in the neck and put it back.

Anyway, the noms were read yesterday morning by Janelle James and *Heated Rivalry*'s Connor Storrie, both of whom look nice. He's extra shaggy right now -- actually, seeing him next to SAG-AFTRA president Sean Astin made me realize Connor has full hobbit hair here. Perhaps we can have Jacob Tierney reimagine that next; there's gotta be a LOT of hobbit-related yearning to mine.

**OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE BY A CAST IN A MOTION PICTURE**

*Frankenstein* (Netflix)  
*Hamnet* (Focus Features)  
*Marty Supreme* (A24)  
*One Battle After Another* (Warner Bros)  
*Sinners* (Warner Bros)

I think this SHOULD go to *Sinners* but will go to *One Battle*.

**OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE BY A FEMALE ACTOR IN A LEADING ROLE**

Jessie Buckley, *Hamnet*  
Rose Byrne, *If I Had Legs I’d Kick You*  
Kate Hudson, *Song Sung Blue*  
Chase Infiniti, *One Battle After Another*  
Emma Stone, *Bugonia*

Wow, Kate Hudson really snuck in there -- and over Cynthia Erivo, Renate Reinsve, Eva Victor, Amanda Seyfried, Tessa Thompson, and Julia Roberts (though her movie was widely reviled, so I'm not surprised). I did not see that coming, but Hugh Jackman sure did. God, now I really do have to watch this movie. To be fair, I've heard nice things.

**OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE BY A MALE ACTOR IN A LEADING ROLE**

Timothée Chalamet, *Marty Supreme*  
Leonardo DiCaprio, *One Battle After Another*  
Ethan Hawke, *Blue Moon*  
Michael B. Jordan, *Sinners*  
Jesse Plemons, *Bugonia*

Come on, MBJ!!!

**OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE BY A MALE ACTOR IN A SUPPORTING ROLE**

Miles Caton, *Sinners*  
Benicio Del Toro, *One Battle After Another*  
Jacob Elordi, *Frankenstein*  
Paul Mescal, *Hamnet*  
Sean Penn, *One Battle After Another*

I'd love to see Miles Caton take this. He won for Younger Performer at the Critics' Choice and Elordi won this category, and Caton isn't up for a Globe. So this is their first face-off. Stellan Skarsgard on the outside looking in!

**OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE BY A FEMALE ACTOR IN A SUPPORTING ROLE**

Odessa A’zion, *Marty Supreme*  
Ariana Grande, *Wicked: For Good*  
Amy Madigan, *Weapons*  
Wunmi Mosaku, *Sinners*  
Teyana Taylor, *One Battle After Another*

Really curious if Amy Madigan is going to get the Jamie Lee Curtis treatment this year. I do not think JLC should have won; I cannot say the same for Amy because I haven't seen the movie yet and I've heard she is fantastic. I just mean, from a sentimental perspective. Speaking of which, NO ONE from *Sentimental Value* got in here, which is a surprise given other nominations so far.

**OUTSTANDING STUNT ENSEMBLE IN A MOTION PICTURE**

*F1* (Apple Original Films)  
*Frankenstein* (Netflix)  
*Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning* (Paramount)  
*One Battle After Another* (Warner Bros)  
*Sinners* (Warner Bros)

Hooray for the stunts!

**OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE BY AN ENSEMBLE IN A DRAMA SERIES**

*The Diplomat* (Netflix)  
*Landman* (Paramount+)  
*The Pitt* (HBO Max)  
*Severance* (Apple TV)  
*The White Lotus* (HBO)

Landman?!? Mmmkay.

**OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE BY A MALE ACTOR IN A DRAMA SERIES**

Sterling K. Brown, *Paradise*  
Billy Crudup, *The Morning Show*  
Walton Goggins, *The White Lotus*  
Gary Oldman, *Slow Horses*  
Noah Wyle, *The Pitt*

WOW. No Adam Scott in here is a HUGE surprise to me, especially with *The Morning Show* kicking around still. Walton Goggins, for my money, is a supporting actor in that show, but since the SAGs rudely persist in pretending there are no supporting performances, then Tramell Tillman should have been in here, period, full stop.

**OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE BY A FEMALE ACTOR IN A DRAMA SERIES**

Britt Lower, *Severance*  
Parker Posey, *The White Lotus*  
Keri Russell, *The Diplomat*  
Rhea Seehorn, *Pluribus*  
Aimee Lou Wood, *The White Lotus*

I am once again surprised at Aimee Lou Wood, but you know what, no one is beating Britt or Rhea, so it's irrelevant I think.

**OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE BY AN ENSEMBLE IN A COMEDY SERIES**

*Abbott Elementary* (ABC)  
*The Bear* (FX/Hulu)  
*Hacks* (HBO Max)  
*Only Murders in the Building* (Hulu)  
*The Studio* (Apple TV)

It's weird to me to nominate an ensemble -- *The Studio* \-- where every actor seems to be doing something different tonally than everyone else, but people love it. Not me!

**OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE BY A MALE ACTOR IN A COMEDY SERIES**

Ike Barinholtz, *The Studio*  
Adam Brody, *Nobody Wants This*  
Ted Danson, *Inside Man*  
Seth Rogen, *The Studio*  
Martin Short, *Only Murders in the Building*

Rooting for the oldies. Danson and Short, please take it home.

**OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE BY A FEMALE ACTOR IN A COMEDY SERIES**

Kathryn Hahn, *The Studio*  
Catherine O’Hara, *The Studio*  
Jenna Ortega, *Wednesday*  
Jean Smart, *Hacks*  
Kristen Wiig, *Palm Royale*

No one is beating Jean Smart, right?

**OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE BY A MALE ACTOR IN A TELEVISION MOVIE OR LIMITED SERIES**

Jason Bateman, *Black Rabbit*  
Owen Cooper, *Adolescence*  
Stephen Graham, *Adolescence*  
Charlie Hunnam, *Monster: The Ed Gein Story*  
Matthew Rhys, *The Beast In Me*

And no one is beating *Adolescence*.

**OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE BY A FEMALE ACTOR IN A TELEVISION MOVIE OR LIMITED SERIES**

Claire Danes, *The Beast In Me*  
Erin Doherty, *Adolescence*  
Sarah Snook, *All Her Fault*  
Christine Tremarco, *Adolescence*  
Michelle Williams, *Dying For Sex*

Doherty and Snook won with the critics in different categories, so they should have to arm-wrestle for it. I continue to be galled that Jenny Slate was not widely recognized for *Dying for Sex*, and I'm not even typically that big a booster of hers. I just thought she was superb.

**OUTSTANDING STUNT ENSEMBLE IN A TELEVISION SERIES**

*Andor* (Disney+)  
*Landman* (Paramount+)  
*The Last of Us* (HBO)  
*Squid Game* (Netflix)  
*Stranger Things* (Netflix)
