Amazon Studios – 2016(LOS ANGELES) — The Matt Damon-produced drama Manchester by the Sea hit a four-nomination high water mark with the Screen Actors Guild Awards, the nominations for which were read by Sophia Bush and rapper/actor Common in L.A. this morning.
There was a two-way tie for second place in both the film categories, with Denzel Washington’s play adaptation Fences, and the already multiply-nominated drama Moonlight landing three nominations each.
The films Florence Foster Jenkins, Hacksaw Ridge, Hidden Figures, La La Land, Captain Fantastic, and Lion all earned two nods apiece. The SAG awards are traditionally a good predictor when it comes to the acting categories at the Oscars, but not a great predictor for best picture.
Surprisingly, critics’ darling La La Land was not nominated in the top category of Outstanding Performance by a Cast. Why? Likely because the movie is all about its two stars, Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling, and not the entire ensemble.
On TV side, the much-talked-about Netflix series Stranger Things, as well as Game of Thrones, Westworld, The Crown and People Vs. OJ Simpson received three nods each.
