SAG Nominations

The Screen Actors Guild nominations were  announced this morning in Los Angeles at the Pacific Design Center’s Silver Screen Theater in West Hollywood. Some of the noms, or lack of, will make you go, “hmmmm.” The surprise, but crazy Best Supporting Actress nomination for Diane Kruger in INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS, no UP IN THE AIR nom for Best Ensemble, even though it saw three acting nominations, and nothing for Julianne Moore of A SINGLE MAN or Alfred Molina of AN EDUCATION.
