26th annual SAG Awards nominations revealed
Nominations for the 26th Annual Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards were revealed on Wednesday at the Pacific Design Center's SilverScreen Theater in West Hollywood, Los Angeles County.
Sony Pictures' comedy-drama film Once Upon a Time In Hollywood, Netflix's epic crime film The Irishman and Lionsgate's drama film Bombshell tied for the most nominations with four each on the film side.
South Korean black comedy thriller Parasite scored a best ensemble nomination, becoming only the second foreign-language film to race for the top prize in the SAG Awards history. The film follows the members of a poor household scheming to become employees of a much wealthier family by posing as unrelated, highly-qualified individuals. It's the first South Korean film to win the coveted Palme d'Or at the 72nd Cannes Film Festival in May.
The SAG ensemble award is widely considered the equivalent of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences' best picture Oscar. Other nominees for best ensemble were Bombshell, The Irishman, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, and Fox's black comedy film Jojo Rabbit.
Christian Bale won the nod for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Leading Role for his portrayal of the famous race car driver Ken Miles in Ford v Ferrari, as did Joaquin Phoenix for Joker, Leonardo DiCaprio for Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, Adam Driver for Marriage Story and Taron Egerton for Rocketman.
