SCREEN ACTORS GUILD NOMINATIONS

Did you call it? The Screen Actors Guild's nominating committee didn't so much as pull the rug out from under our perceptions of awards season 2015-16 as redecorate the entire room with their slate of nominees. Big contenders such as The Martian and Creed were snubbed entirely, with frontrunners like Sylvester Stallone absent. Favourites with critics such as Charlotte Rampling in 45 Years, Charlize Theron in Mad Max: Fury Road and Kristen Stewart in Clouds of Sils Maria failed to appear. Indie films fared very well, with Beasts of No Nation picking up two major nods and nominees Sarah Silverman in I Smile Back and Michael Shannon in 99 Homes making big surprises in their respective categories. And Trumbo was a hit with voters, picking up three nominations; one for Helen Mirren, who pulls off yet another shocker by scoring a second unexpected mention for Woman in Gold. A list full of left-field names that's perhaps more notable for those who didn't make it (Tom Hardy, Paul Dano, Jennifer Jason Leigh) than those who did, and that's as likely to inspire elation as devastation!
