From the New York Film Critics Circle to the Golden Globes, some of the most influential critics and journalists on the awards trail have highlighted their favorite movies and performances of the year. But the first major industry precursor on the road to the Academy Awards is set to solidify the gilded prospects of key acting contenders when the Screen Actors Guild announces its roster of nominees at 10 a.m. ET Wednesday morning.
EW will update this post with a full list of competitors as the nominees roll in, but for now watch the SAG Awards nominations announcement in the live stream above.
Generally regarded as one of the most influential precursors on the Oscar circuit, SAG comprises more than 100,000 members across the country — a select few of whom make up an annual nominations committee that votes on the group’s year-end honorees. SAG’s entire membership is then eligible to vote on winners, with a large portion of the guild’s membership also crossing over in the Academy’s actors branch (AMPAS’ largest).
Since the SAG Awards’ debut in 1995, 18 lead actresses (including last year’s lead actress winner, Frances McDormand) have won both the SAG Award and the corresponding Oscar; that number jumps to 20 for leading men.
SAG’s ensemble award also often jibes with Oscar tastes, with 11 of the guild’s victors also taking Oscar’s highest honor the same year. Over the years, an additional 11 winners (including last year’s Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri) received Best Picture nominations from the Academy, but did not win. Three Billboards lost the Best Picture Oscar to Guillermo del Toro’s The Shape of Water, which became the first such winner since 1995’s Braveheart to not receive a preceding SAG ensemble nod.
