Now, it’s time for the Actors.
The show formerly known as the SAG Awards is taking place on Sunday, as the last major stop for many nominees before the Oscars on March 15. The Actor Awards are voted on by members of the Screen Actors Guild, which this year placed Paul Thomas Anderson’s “One Battle After Another” ahead of the pack with seven nominations total.
“Sinners” from director Ryan Coogler scored five nods, with individual recognition for recent BAFTA winner Wunmi Mosaku, along with Michael B. Jordan – who pulled double duty playing twins – and newcomer Miles Caton. The acclaimed vampire-period hybrid film is also nominated for its ensemble as a whole, as well as for best stunt ensemble.
On the television side, Apple TV’s awards darling “The Studio” is the nomination leader with five nominations, including for series star and creator Seth Rogen along with Kathryn Hahn, Ike Barinholtz (aka Sal Saperstein) and the late, great Catherine O’Hara.
“The White Lotus” and “Adolescence” follow close behind, with four nominations apiece.
Seth Rogen, who had shortly beforehand won the award for outstanding performance by a male actor in a comedy series on Sunday night, came back out to accept the corresponding award for best female actor in a comedy series, which went to his late “The Studio” costar Catherine O’Hara.
“Something I’ve been marveling at over the last few weeks,” Rogen said while accepting the award on behalf of O’Hara, who died in January, “was her ability to be generous and kind and gracious while never ever minimizing her own talents and her own ability to contribute to the work that we were doing.”
“She really showed that you can be a genius and be kind and one of those things does not have to come at the expense of the other in any way, shape or form,” he added.
The Actor Awards also bestowed a lifetime achievement award on “Indiana Jones” and “Shrinking” star Harrison Ford during the telecast, presented by Woody Harrelson. The event is being hosted by Kristen Bell, and streaming live on Netflix.
