‘Bombshell’ leads Screen Actors Guild Award nominations

“Bombshell” packed a punch Wednesday morning, picking up four nominations at the Screen Actors Guild Awards.

The #MeToo-era drama, which chronicles the takedown of Roger Ailes by the women at Fox News, is up for best film ensemble, the SAG equivalent of the Academy Awards’ best picture, as well as female actor (Charlize Theron) and female supporting actor (Margot Robbie and Nicole Kidman).

“Bombshell” will vie for the top prize alongside gangster epic “The Irishman,” Quentin Tarantino’s acclaimed 1960s love letter “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood,” World War II satire “Jojo Rabbit” and South Korean black comedy “Parasite.”

Joaquin Phoenix (“Joker”), Christian Bale (“Ford v Ferrari”), Leonardo DiCaprio (“Once Upon a Time in Hollywood”), Taron Egerton (“Rocketman”) and Adam Driver (“Marriage Story”) are up for male actor.

The group up for female actor includes Theron, Renee Zellweger (“Judy”), Scarlett Johansson (“Marriage Story”), Charlize Theron (“Bombshell”), Cynthia Erivo (“Harriet”) and Lupita Nyong’o (“Us”).

Robbie, Jennifer Lopez (“Hustlers”) and Laura Dern (“Marriage Story”) followed up their Globes nominations with SAG supporting female actor honors with Kidman and Johansson (“Jojo Rabbit”).

And the crop of SAG supporting actor contenders includes “Irishman” co-stars Joe Pesci and Al Pacino, Brad Pitt (“Once Upon a Time in Hollywood”), Tom Hanks (“A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood”) and Jamie Foxx (“Just Mercy”).

The SAG Awards are one of the most closely watched Academy Awards bellwethers because, historically, a best ensemble nomination from the actors is usually a prerequisite for any best-picture contender’s resume.

The 26th annual SAG Awards will air live at 7 p.m. Jan. 19 on TNT and TBS.
