The actors have spoken.
The nominations for the 32nd Actor Awards — formerly known as the Screen Actors Guild Awards — were announced Wednesday morning. And, as recently elected SAG-AFTRA president Sean Astin emphasized during his opening remarks, what distinguishes the Actor Awards from other honors is that “it is created exclusively by actors and for actors.”
Among the top nominees on the film side was Ryan Coogler’s genre-defying musical horror “Sinners.” Actors Michael B. Jordan, Wunmi Mosaku and Miles Caton each earned individual nominations for their performances. The film’s cast and stunt ensemble were also nominated in their respective categories.
The casts of “Frankenstein,” “Hamnet,” “Marty Supreme” and “One Battle After Another” also earned nods in the top film category.
On the TV side, industry satire “The Studio” showed its might in the comedy categories. Creator Seth Rogen and his fellow stars Kathryn Hahn, Catherine O’Hara and Ike Barinholtz were each nominated for their individual performances to go along with the show’s ensemble nod.
During his opening remarks, Astin also acknowledged last year’s devastating wildfires that ravaged Los Angeles as well as the union’s upcoming negotiations with Hollywood studios.
“Presented by SAG-AFTRA,” Astin said. “What stands behind that phrase is nearly a century of our union’s history and the hard work and professionalism and dedication of generations of performers … And as we head into our upcoming negotiations, I want to acknowledge the historic level of member participation in our pre-negotiation meetings.”
“This level of engagement continues to exemplify the solidarity and strength of our union.”
“Abbot Elementary” star Janelle James and “Heated Rivalry” heartthrob Connor Storrie were tapped to make the announcement, which was streamed live on Netflix’s YouTube channel from the SAG-AFTRA Foundation’s Tom Hanks & Rita Wilson Screening Room.
The 32nd Actor Awards will stream live March 1 on Netflix. “Indiana Jones” and “Star Wars” star Harrison Ford will be presented the SAG-AFTRA Life Achievement Award during the telecast.
