Nominees of SAG Award
Today was declared contenders for one of the most prestigious awards in the film - SAG Award. As a rule, actors guild nominations go straight to the "Oscar". The maximum number of nominations - four - in the drama "Help" and three pictures in "Artist" and "The man who changed the world".
As early as the 18th time SAG would give their awards. The ceremony will take place on January 29, 2012 and will be held in Los Angeles.
Perhaps the main surprise of this year was nominated for Best Actor Mexican actor Demian Bishir for drama of Chris Weitz "Better Life". SAG noted French actor Jean Dujardin and Berenice Bezho for the role of a black and white silent film "Artist" - it's something that, while foreign actors trickle in major U.S. competitors such awards is very rare. It is likely that the absence of such favorites as critics Michael Fassbender and Gary Oldman is a kind of revenge for last year's victory the Englishman Colin Firth.
Jean Dujardin will have to compete with the heavyweights of Hollywood Leonardo DiCaprio, George Clooney and Brad Pitt. In Pitt's second nomination for SAG as a leading man, before he could get a statuette for "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button." Also, the actor was in the category "Best Ensemble" in "Babylon," "Benjamin Button" and "Inglourious Basterds" (the latter prize were awarded SAG).
George Clooney has three prizes of SAG, and all of them for acting ensemble in a drama series ("ER"). The actor was nominated for "Michael Clayton" and "Up in the sky", but to no avail.
Leonardo DiCaprio was nominated for his roles in "The Aviator," "Blood Diamond" and "The Departed" as well as for participation in the ensemble cast, "Marvin's Room," "Titanic," "The Aviator" and "Renegades." Unfortunately, the actor was never received an award SAG, so he has a great chance to get it for his role as the legendary head of the FBI J. Edgar Hoover.
