Awards season is in full swing, with the major television and film organizations rolling out their nominees from the past year of projects and performances. The nominations for the 23rd Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards were among those announced this week, and its pool of nominees offers an interesting take on how the medium of television — and movies, to a lesser degree — is changing and evolving.
Projects produced (or co-produced) by streaming video services Netflix and Amazon Studios account for 22 of the nominations on this year’s list of SAG Awards nominees across television and film, and nearly half of the nominations from the world of television.
This year’s SAG Award nominees were announced by Chicago P.D. and One Tree Hill actress Sophia Bush and Selma and Wanted actor Common during a ceremony in West Hollywood. Netflix projects and their cast members accounted for 17 nominations total, while Amazon Studios netted four nominations for the cast of Manchester by the Sea, a co-production with studio Roadside Attractions, as well as one nomination for its Transparent series.
After Netflix, the studio that found its cast members most frequently honored with nominations this year was HBO. The premium cable network earned 13 nominations for cast members in Game of Thrones, The Night Of, and Westworld, among other projects.
The ceremony announcing the winners of Screen Actors Guild Awards will be televised live Sunday, January 29, 2017. The broadcast will kick off at 8pm ET on the TNT and TBS networks.
