SAG Nominations

Kidman in Paperboy: I can't wait to see which clip they choose.
The actors have spoken! I'm disappointed that my leading lady Keira Knightley didn't land a nomination, but the Screen Actors Guild outweighed any mistakes with their ballsy Best Supporting Actress nomination for Nicole Kidman in The Paperboy. It's well deserved. Kidman took a huge risk that few actors would be brave enough (or talented enough) to tackle.

Other notable pleasantries are a Best Actress hat tip for Marion Cotillard in Rust & Bone, Philip Seymour Hoffman in The Master Javier Bardem in Skyfall, and Jennifer Lawrence, Robert DeNiro and Bradley Cooper for Silver Linings Playbook. Cooper is a mild surprise, as Joaquin Phoenix didn't make the cut for his highly touted work in The Master, but I think Cooper is completely worthy.

The nominees for Best Ensemble Cast are:
Argo
The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel
Les Miserables
Lincoln
Silver Linings Playbook
