2025 Screen Actors Guild Awards Nominations Announced

The nominations for the 31st Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards have been revealed. The musical film Wicked has emerged as a standout contender, receiving five nominations, including the prestigious award for best ensemble cast.

The announcement of nominees was made through a press release after wildfires in Los Angeles led to the cancellation of a live event initially planned for this purpose.

Among the nominees is Australian actress Cate Blanchett, who has been recognized for her performance in the TV series Disclaimer. She is a nominee for the award for best female actor in a television movie or limited series. Unfortunately, her fellow Australian actress, Nicole Kidman, was not nominated for her work in Babygirl, and neither was Angelina Jolie.

Recognition for Wicked

The film Wicked has been noted for its remarkable nominations, which include:

• Cynthia Erivo - Nominee for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Leading Role
• Ariana Grande - Nominee for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Supporting Role
• Jonathan Bailey - Nominee for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Supporting Role

Wicked's impressive performance at the SAG Awards has often been seen as an indicator of success at other award ceremonies, including the Oscars.

Shōgun and Other Contenders

The TV series Shōgun also made a significant impact, garnering five nominations, similar to its success noted at the Emmys and Golden Globes. The series features performances by Tadanobu Asano and Hiroyuki Sanada in the nominations for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Drama Series.
