SAG Awards nominate 91ƵBarbie,91Ƶ 91ƵOppenheimer,91Ƶ snub DiCaprio

Barbra Streisand will receive the SAG Life Achievement Award

30th Screen Actors Guild Awards on Wednesday heaped nominations on 91ƵOppenheimer,91Ƶ 91ƵBarbie91Ƶ and 91ƵAmerican Fiction,91Ƶ while snubbing Leonardo DiCaprio for best male actor.

As they were at the Golden Globes, Greta Gerwig91Ƶs 91ƵBarbie91Ƶ and Christopher Nolan91Ƶs 91ƵOppenheimer91Ƶ were again the lead nominees. Each film picked up four nods including best ensemble. Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling were nominated for their performances in 91ƵBarbie,91Ƶ while Cillian Murphy, Robert Downey Jr. and Emily Blunt received nods for 91ƵOppenheimer.91Ƶ

Barbenheimer continues to rule Hollywood91Ƶs awards season, just as it did the summer box office.

Cord Jefferson91Ƶs 91ƵAmerican Fiction91Ƶ got the biggest momentum boost, landing three nods: best ensemble, Jeffrey Wright for best male actor and Sterling K. Brown for supporting male actor.

Along with those three films, Martin Scorsese91Ƶs 91ƵKillers of the Flower Moon91Ƶ and Blitz Bazawule91Ƶs 91ƵThe Color Purple91Ƶ were nominated for best ensemble, the guild91Ƶs top award.

Most notably left out of that group was Yorgos Lanthimos91Ƶ 91ƵPoor Things,91Ƶ which on Sunday won best comedy/musical at the Golden Globes. The film91Ƶs star, Emma Stone, was nominated for best female actor while Willem Dafoe (but not Mark Ruffalo) was nominated for best supporting male actor.

BREAKING: SAG Nominations are out and it looks like it91Ƶll be a Barbenheimer Spring as well. Check out the top contenders for the awards and make your Oscar predictions now!

But those were far from the only snubs in the nominations announced by Issa Rae, a co-star in both 91ƵBarbie91Ƶ and 91ƵAmerican Fiction,91Ƶ and Kumail Nanjiani on Instagram Live.

Nominated for best actor were Bradley Cooper (91ƵMaestro91Ƶ), Colman Domingo (91ƵRustin91Ƶ), Paul Giamatti (91ƵThe Holdovers91Ƶ), Murphy and Wright. DiCaprio had long been seen as a presumed nominee for his performance in Martin Scorsese91Ƶs 91ƵKillers of the Flower Moon.91Ƶ Lily Gladstone, who is poised to potentially make history at the Oscars, was among the best female actor nominees, while Robert De Niro was nominated for best supporting male actor.

Todd Hayne91Ƶs 91ƵMay December91Ƶ was completely shut out, as was Celine Song91Ƶs tender love story, 91ƵPast Lives.91Ƶ Charles Melton, co-star of 91ƵMay December,91Ƶ was expected to be among the supporting male actors. And neither Sandra Hüller (91ƵAnatomy of a Fall91Ƶ) nor Fantasia Barrino (91ƵThe Color Purple91Ƶ) scored individual nominations.

Along with Gladstone and Stone, the nominees for best female actor are Carey Mulligan (91ƵMaestro91Ƶ) and Annette Bening (91ƵNyad91Ƶ). Bening91Ƶs co-star, Jodie Foster, joined the supporting female actor category which also featured Da91ƵVine Joy Randolph (91ƵThe Holdovers91Ƶ), Danielle Brooks (91ƵThe Color Purple91Ƶ) and Penélope Cruz for 91ƵFerrari.91Ƶ

The SAG Awards are closely watched as an Oscar bellwether. Their picks don91Ƶt always align exactly with those of the film academy, but seldom is a best picture or acting winner not nominated first by SAG. That means any best picture hopes for films like 91ƵPoor Things91Ƶ just took a hit. 91ƵPast Lives,91Ƶ Celine Song91Ƶs tender love story, also was set back.

The last two best-ensemble winners 91Ƶ 91ƵEverything Everywhere All at Once91Ƶ and 91ƵCODA91Ƶ 91Ƶ went on to win best picture at the Oscars.

This year91Ƶs SAG Awards follow a grueling 118-day strike by the actors guild SAG-AFTRA that put Hollywood in a months-long battle over its future. Pay in the streaming era and artificial intelligence were top issues.

In the television categories, the trio that nearly swept the Golden Globes 91Ƶ 91ƵSuccession,91Ƶ 91ƵThe Bear91Ƶ and 91ƵBeef91Ƶ 91Ƶ were again among the lead nominees. 91ƵSuccession91Ƶ led all series with five nods (though Jeremy Strong was passed over), while 91ƵThe Last of Us,91Ƶ 91ƵTed Lasso91Ƶ and 91ƵThe Bear91Ƶ all collected four nominations.

The SAG Awards will take place Feb. 24 at the Shine Auditorium & Expo Hall in Los Angeles. Netflix will live stream the ceremony for the first time. Last year91Ƶs awards were streamed on Netflix91Ƶs YouTube account.

The show will mark one of Netflix91Ƶs most notable forays into live programming. The streamer, which has for years been an awards season force, will first to play host, too, in the runup to the Academy Awards in March.

Barbra Streisand will receive the SAG Life Achievement Award.
