UPDATED: SAG Awards Shock SNUB Spielberg’s “West Side Story” for Best Ensemble, Love Gaga and “Gucci,” Send Back “Pizza”

Share

UPDATE

Huge snub for Steven Spielberg’s “West Side Story.” The film didn’t receive a Best Ensemble nomination and Rachel Zegler didn’t make Best Actress. The only nomination was for Ariana DeBose in Best Supporting Actress.

This is HUGE loss for Disney which has mishandled this movie from the start. But now they are really in trouble.

Also, SAG rejected “Licorice Pizza” for everything. Shocking.

The other big name missing Kristin Stewart as Princess Diana in “Spencer.” Instead, Jennifer Hudson was nominated for “Respect.” Great news for JHud.

But SAG loved “House of Gucci.” Shocking, too since it’s not a good movie.

Full list coming below.

 

At 10am the SAG Awards nominees will be announced. They will not include a category of Actors Who Survived Losing Their Health Insurance Thanks to Raised Minimum Earnings. Those will be handed out in an ER during a separate ceremony. (Sorry, but several people I know have had that issue.)

Anyway, SAG is sometimes a predictor of the Oscars because their membership is the largest part of the Academy voters. However, last year’s Oscar winner, “Nomadland,” wasn’t a Best Ensemble nominee because it was mostly about Frances McDormand in a van. This year, all the big films qualify, more or less.

The SAG Awards will be given out on February 27 in Los Angeles to anyone brave enough to show up or if the ‘Cron has subsided.

The nominations are being released in a weird way, on the SAG Awards Instagram page.
