‘Kominsky Method,’ ‘Barry,’ ‘The Americans,’ ‘Atlanta’ Crash SAG Awards’ TV Party
All told, “Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” and “Ozark” paced the TV race with four nominations apiece. “Barry,” “GLOW,” “Handmaid’s Tale,” and “Kominsky Method” grabbed three apiece.
Netflix led the network pack with 15 mentions, followed by Amazon (eight), HBO (six), and FX (four).
The SAG noms also seem to cement the new players in the fiercely competitive limited series/movie lead actress heat, with Patricia Arquette up for Showtime’s “Escape at Dannemora,” and Amy Adams and Patricia Clarkson competing for HBO’s “Sharp Objects.” Penelope Cruz for FX’s “The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story” and Stone for “Maniac” round out the category.
Bill Pullman of USA’s “The Sinner” was a surprise nominee for limited series/movie actor. Hugh Grant is a contender for Amazon’s “A Very English Scandal.” Antonio Banderas (Nat Geo’s “Genius: Picasso”) and Darren Criss, who took home the Emmy in September for “Versace,” were expected.
SAG’s comedy actor category saw a complete turnover from the 2018 competition, when William H. Macy won for Showtime’s “Shameless.” Bill Hader and Henry Winkler won lead and supporting comedy Emmys, respectively, in September for their work in the dark comedy “Barry,” and both are up again, in the same category this time, for comedy actor honors. “Mrs. Maisel’s” Tony Shalhoub rounds out the category with “Kominsky’s” Douglas and Arkin.
There was more consistency on the distaff side with “GLOW’s” Alison Brie and “Grace & Frankie’s” Lily Tomlin and Jane Fonda garnering repeat mentions for comedy actress. “Mrs. Maisel’s” Rachel Brosnahan and Alex Borstein, the reigning Emmy champs for lead and supporting comedy actress, are also in the hunt.
The drama actor field opened up for Krasinski and “Handmaid Tale’s” Joseph Fiennes. Odenkirk, “Ozark’s” Jason Bateman and the 2018 winner, Sterling K. Brown of “This Is Us,” were repeat nominees.
“Killing Eve” star Sandra Oh continued her march through award season with another mention. “Ozark’s” Laura Linney, “House of Cards’ ” Robin Wright and Elisabeth Moss of “Handmaid’s Tale” were repeat nominees. Linney was joined this year by her “Ozark” co-star Julia Garner.
