Each year, the Screen Actor’s Guild, the biggest acting union in Hollywood, throws its two cents into the awards ring and bestows upon actors in both film and television with the coveted statues for excellence in performance. It’s a top honor that’s also a major predictor for the Academy Awards — in the past three years, the SAG Awards replicated the winners of the Oscars Best Actor categories in all but one category (in 2011, when Viola Davis in The Help bested Meryl Streep in The Iron Lady before losing to her come Oscar time). The SAG Awards are award to the year’s biggest win.
This Tuesday, SAG announced their nominations for the 19th year of their awards ceremony. Once again, every actor and film looks primed for the Academy Awards. Lincoln and Les Misérables lead the pack thanks to buzzy performances by Daniel Day-Lewis and Anne Hathaway, while Breaking Bad and Mad Men once again earn nods on the TV side.
Check out the full list of nominations. The awards are set to air on Jan. 27, 2013 on TBS:
