2023 SAG nominations: The Banshees of Inisherin and Ozark take charge in film and TV categories

With the Golden Globes done and dusted last night, the Screen Actor’s Guild have now announced their list of nominations for the biggest contenders of film and television.

On a hectic day for fans of the Oscar race, the Irish dark comedy The Banshees of Inisherin and the multiverse-based dramedy Everything Everywhere All at Once lead the way with five nods each.

Both films are shortlisted for the crucial Best Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture accolade alongside Steven Spielberg’s autobiographical drama The Fabelmans, the period epic Babylon and the female-led ensemble drama Women Talking.

After dominating last night’s Golden Globe Awards, Banshees scored an additional four nominations for its cast with Colin Farrell recognised in Best Actor. Additionally, male co-stars Brendan Gleeson and Barry Keoghan are acknowledged in Best Supporting Actor while Kerry Condon competes in the Best Supporting Actress category.

Everything also performed well on the acting front with recent Globe winners Michelle Yeoh and Ke Huy Quan in contention for Best Actress and Best Supporting Actor respectively. Additionally, the experienced Jamie Lee Curtis is joined in the Best Supporting Actress category by her younger co-star Stephanie Hsu. However, the pair face a stern challenge from last night’s Globe victor Angela Bassett for the Marvel blockbuster sequel Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.

Meanwhile, Austin Butler will be looking to follow-up his Best Actor win at last night’s Golden Globes after being nominated for his portrayal of music icon Elvis Presley in Elvis. His versatile competition includes Brendan Fraser (The Whale) and British veteran Bill Nighy (Living).

A strong Best Actress category sees Globe winner Cate Blanchett nominated again for Tár as she faces off against real-life portrayals from Ana de Armas (as Hollywood icon Marilyn Monroe) in the diverse Blonde, and Danielle Deadwyler (as grieving mother Mamie-Till Mobley) in Till.

The rest of the main acting contenders are Viola Davis (The Woman King), Adam Sandler (Hustle), Hong Chau (The Whale), Paul Dano (The Fabelmans) and Eddie Redmayne (The Good Nurse).

The key acting snubs included Michelle Williams (The Fabelmans), Tom Cruise (Top Gun: Maverick), Jessie Buckley (Women Talking), Dolly De Leon (Triangle of Sadness), Janelle Monáe (Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery), Carey Mulligan (She Said), Tom Hanks (Elvis), Brad Pitt (Babylon) and Ben Whishaw (Women Talking).

In a complete change in tradition, the SAG awards will air on Netflix’s YouTube channel with the ceremony itself taking place on Sunday 26th February, at Fairmont Century Plaza in Los Angeles.
