Actor Awards, formerly SAG Awards, to announce nominations

By JAKE COYLE, Associated Press

Not all award shows require you to get up early in the morning to hear the nominations read.

The Actor Awards, formerly the SAG Awards, will announce nominations Wednesday at 1 p.m. EST on Netflix’s YouTube Channel. This is the first year under the new moniker for one of Hollywood’s most closely watched Oscars harbingers.

Presented by the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists and voted on by the guild’s 160,000-plus members, the Actor Awards give an accurate window into what the largest branch of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences — the actors — is leaning toward in award season.

In the screen actors’ top award, best ensemble, two locks are the casts to Paul Thomas Anderson’s “One Battle After Another” and to Ryan Coogler’s “Sinners.” Though both of those films’ stars, Leonardo DiCaprio and Michael B. Jordan, respectively, are top contenders for best male actor, the recent momentum has been behind Timothée Chalamet for his performance in “Marty Supreme.”
