After the January Golden Globes were a non-event, the Screen Actors Guild Awards will be Hollywood’s first major, televised, in-person award show this year.
While the Academy Awards aren’t mandating vaccination for presenters (just attendees), it’s required for the SAG Awards, which are voted on by the Hollywood actors´ guild SAG-AFTRA. One actor in the cast of the Paramount series Yellowstone, Forrie J. Smith, has said he won’t attend because he isn’t vaccinated.
A starry group of nominees – including Will Smith, Lady Gaga, Denzel Washington, Nicole Kidman and Ben Affleck – will make sure the SAG Award don’t lack for glamour.
Jada Pinkett Smith showed off the amazing gown and jewelry that she was wearing for the ceremony where husband Will is nominated for his performance in King Richard.
Her dramatic two-tone dress had a high collar and voluminous skirt and the sparkling necklace served as a collar.

Five films are nominated for the SAG Awards’ top honor, best ensemble: Kenneth Branagh’s Belfast, Sian Heder’s coming-of-age drama CODA, Adam McKay’s apocalypse comedy Don’t Look Up, Ridley Scott’s high-camp House of Gucci and Reinaldo Marcus Green’s family tennis drama King Richard.
The leading Oscar nominee, Jane Campion’s “The Power of the Dog,” failed to land a best ensemble nominations but three of its actors – Benedict Cumberbatch, Kirsten Dunst and Kodi Smit-McPhee – are up for individual awards.
Winning best ensemble doesn’t automatically make a movie the Oscar favorite, but actors hold the largest sway because they constitute the largest percentage of the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences.
Last year, the actors chose Aaron Sorkin’s 1960s courtroom drama The Trial of the Chicago 7, while best picture at the Oscars went to Nomadland. The year before, SAG´s pick of Parasite presaged the Oscar winner.

In the television categories, Apple TV+’s Ted Lasso comes in with a leading five nominations, closely trailed by HBO’s Succession, Apple’s The Morning Show and Netflix’s much-watched Squid Game – all of which are up for four awards.
Fran Drescher, the newly-appointed SAG-AFTRA president, said last month: ‘After such a long time apart, we’re excited to be together again this year at the 28th annual Screen Actor’s Guild Awards.’
The accolades are given out by the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists.
Founded in 1952, the awards recognize outstanding performances in movie and prime time television.
