The SAG nominations were announced, and as with all awards, there were glaring omissions and snubs (and baffling surprises). Here are the biggest ones.

-- The total shutout of hyper buzzed-about 'If Beale Street Could Talk',

The awards hype for Ozark and The Kominsky Method remains a mystery to me.

Honestly same, i loved Alan Arkin there and Michael does a good job but the show on itself isn't really that great?? i do agree with Alan's nom but besides that? nah, and the love ozark/Jason Bateman gets… nah.

I’m convinced that the Bateman noms stem from people feeling like he never really got the award recognition he deserved while on AD and trying to make up for it now. It’s like if Steve Carrell ever came back to TV - I bet he’d get nominated for blowing his nose because they feel bad that he got overlooked so many times while on The Office (which was a travesty tbh).

honestly it wouldn't surprised me if it's just because the studios campaigned them heavily. I feel like that's more effective for TV than movies 'cause like… enough industry people can probably find the time to watch enough of the ~20-30 movies that get buzzed every year but who the eff that's working film industry hours actually has time to watch enough of the buzzy TV shows that they're "supposed" to before nominating shit.

Yeah I think that for this reason the TV noms are also more driven by name recognition. The casts for those two shows are filled with a bunch of industry darlings (vs a show like Westworld in drama or The Good Place in comedy).

I didnt watch Kominsky Method but it just came out less than a month ago. All these busy ass actors have had time to watch it? I have no doubt the noms are because of who the actors are.
