SAG nominations don’t lack for star power

NEW YORK — Will Smith, Lady Gaga and Ben Affleck landed individual nominations for the 28th Screen Actors Guild Awards, while the casts of “Belfast” and “CODA” were among those nominated for the guild’s top award, best ensemble.

The nominees were announced Wednesday by actresses Vanessa Hudgens and Rosario Dawson on Instagram Live. Traditionally, SAG nominations are a good bellwether for the Oscars.

Joining Kenneth Branagh’s semi-autobiographical “Belfast” and the coming-of-age drama “CODA” for best ensemble were the casts for Ridley Scott’s truetale, high-camp “House of Gucci,” Adam Mckay’s apocalypse comedy “Don’t Look Up” and the family tennis drama “King Richard.”

Notably left out were the casts of Steven Spielberg’s “West Side Story” revival (which landed a supporting nod for Ariana Debose) and Jane Campion’s “The Power of the Dog” (which earned individual SAG nominations for Benedict Cumberbatch, Kirsten Dunst and Kodi Smit-mcphee).

Along with Will Smith (“King Richard”) and Cumberbatch, best male lead actor nominees are Denzel Washington (“The Tragedy of Macbeth”), Andrew Garfield (“Tick, Tick … Boom!”) and Javier Bardem (“Being the Ricardos”).

Up for best female lead are Lady Gaga (“House of Gucci”), Jessica Chastain (“The Eyes of Tammy Faye”), Olivia Colman (“The Lost Daughter”), Nicole Kidman (“Being the Ricardos”) and Jennifer Hudson (“Respect”).

Joining Dunst and Debose in the best female supporting category are Caitriona Balfe (“Belfast”), Cate Blanchett (“Nightmare Alley”) and Ruth Negga (“Passing”). The best male supporting nominees are Affleck (“The Tender Bar”), Bradley Cooper (“Licorice Pizza”), Troy Kotsur (“CODA”), Jared Leto (“House of Gucci”) and Smit-mcphee.

On the TV front, feel-good show “Ted Lasso” tied with “Succession” and its morally corrupt cast of characters for most the nods with five. And “Squid Game” made history as the first non-english-language TV series and the first Korean series to score a SAG nomination.

The SAG Awards will air on TNT and TBS at 7 p.m. Feb. 27.
