The SAG nominations come less than a week after the Golden Globes announced their list of nominees, withVice‘s 6 nominations standing atop the rest of the movie categories. The big story from last week was the total shutout ofThis Is Us, NBC’s flagship show that had garnered nominations at every television awards show eligible. The show scored a best ensemble nomination and actor nomination for Sterling K. Brown, but no individual nominations for its female cast.
