The SAG Awards announced their nominees this morning, and there were some definitely some snubs and surprises. The biggest one by far is the omission of Michelle Williams for Best Actress in “The Fabelmans.” Her spot, so to speak, was taken by Ana de Armas, for “Blonde,” from Netflix. Another Netflix inclusion that was unexpected was Adam Sandler for Best Actor in “Hustle.” Neither was a real theatrical release. Coincidentally, the SAG Awards will be shown on Netflix beginning in 2024. (It’s just a coincidence but they are good campaigners
Williams’s exclusion doesn’t mean she won’t get an Oscar nom– or win. SAG campaigning is largely in Los Angeles. Williams lives in New York. She has three children, two of whom are under three years old. So I doubt she was at the Q&As in Hollywood. Or even much in New York.
