Not all award shows require you to get up early in the morning to hear the nominations read.<\/p>\n

The Actor Awards,<\/a> formerly the SAG Awards, will announce nominations Wednesday at 1 p.m. EST on Netflix\u2019s YouTube Channel. This is the first year under the new moniker for one of Hollywood\u2019s most closely watched Oscars harbingers.<\/p>\n

Presented by the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists and voted on by the guild\u2019s 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 \u2014 the actors \u2014 is leaning toward in award season.<\/p>\n

In the screen actors\u2019 top award, best ensemble, two locks are the casts to Paul Thomas Anderson\u2019s \u201cOne Battle After Another\u201d<\/a> and to Ryan Coogler\u2019s \u201cSinners.\u201d<\/a> Though both of those films\u2019 stars, Leonardo DiCaprio and Michael B. Jordan, respectively, are top contenders for best male actor, the recent momentum has been behind Timoth\u00e9e Chalamet for his performance in \u201cMarty Supreme.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

The 30-year-old star won the same award last year for his Bob Dylan in \u201cA Complete Unknown.\u201d<\/a> It was during his SAG acceptance speech that Chalamet said he was \u201cin pursuit of greatness.\u201d<\/p>\n

Though best actor later went to Adrien Brody<\/a> at the Academy Awards, for his performance in \u201cThe Brutalist,\u201d the former SAG Awards often come very close to aligning with would-be Oscar nominees. Yet last year there was more separation than usual. While \u201cAnora\u201d triumphed at the Oscars<\/a>, \u201cConclave\u201d was crowned best ensemble<\/a> by the guild. Best female actor also switched from Demi Moore (\u201cThe Substance\u201d) at the SAGs to Mickey Madison (\u201cAnora\u201d) at the Oscars.<\/a><\/p>\n

Among the favorites this year are Jessie Buckley for \u201cHamnet,\u201d<\/a> Amy Madigan for \u201cWeapons\u201d<\/a> and Stellan Skarsg\u00e5rd for \u201cSentimental Value.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

The Actor Awards will take place Sunday, March 1, at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles. Netflix will stream the ceremony live. Harrison Ford will be presented<\/a> with the guild\u2019s life achievement award.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"By JAKE COYLE, Associated Press Not all award shows require you to get up early in the morning…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":123905,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[33713,48,52,51,47,50,49,48049,64752,33715],"class_list":["post-123904","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-los-angeles","tag-actor-awards","tag-la","tag-la-headlines","tag-la-news","tag-los-angeles","tag-los-angeles-headlines","tag-los-angeles-news","tag-oscars","tag-oscars-favorites","tag-sag-awards"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/123904","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=123904"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/123904\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/123905"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=123904"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=123904"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=123904"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
