The awards season keeps rolling along, as the 2022 SAG Award nominations were announced on Wednesday, Jan. 12. The SAG Awards see actors recognizing the work by their peers from the past year across both TV and movies. This year’s batch of nominees are headlined by movies like House of Gucci, The Power of the Dog and Don’t Look Up, while big TV shows like Succession, Squid Game, Ted Lasso and Yellowstone earned nominations.
The SAG Awards are run by SAG-AFTRA, Hollywood’s actor’s union, and have been handing out awards since 1995. Focused specifically on acting, the SAG Awards feature the usual categories for lead and supporting actors/actresses, but they do things a little differently when it comes to their top award. Their Best Picture equivalent is actually Best Cast, recognizing the ensemble performance. The SAG Awards can often be a good indicator at who has an inside track for Oscars down the road.
The 2022 SAG Awards have plans to be back as an in-person event following a virtual ceremony in 2021. As it has in recent years, the awards show will air live on TBS and TNT in the U.S. on Feb. 27 at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT.
Some quick facts about this year’s slate of nominees. House of Gucci and The Power of the Dog tied for the most nominations among movies, with three each; however, The Power of the Dog was not nominated for Best Cast. TV’s nominee leaders, meanwhile, were Succession and Ted Lasso with five each. Squid Game became the first foreign-language TV series nominated for the SAG Awards Best Cast prize. Yellowstone earned its first-ever SAG nominations for its fourth season.
One more thing, not listed among this morning’s nominees was Helen Mirren, but it was previously announced that she will be honored during the ceremony with the SAG Awards Lifetime Achievement Award.
