SAG Snubs


The SAG nominations are always a little hit or miss every year. They regularly ignore key players in the industry like Taylor Schilling from 'Orange is the New Black.' She has yet to be nominated in the 'Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor' category for the Netflix show. SAG also seems to ignore the performances in the Showtime series 'The Affair.' That being said, there have been some gutsy nominations throughout the years. Remember when they nominated Javier Bardem for his work in 'Skyfall'? Anyway, here are a few notable snubs from this year's announcement:


Oscar Isaac for 'Show Me A Hero'

For me, this is the biggest snub. Oscar Isaac's performance was heartbreaking in this HBO miniseries. However, I am going to assume he'll get some love from the Golden Globes for his work on 'Show Me A Hero,' so I'm not too concerned for the actor.

Kyle Chandler for 'Bloodline'

If you need a show to binge-watch, I highly recommend checking out 'Bloodline.' It was surprising to me that Kyle Chandler got snubbed in the 'Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor' category for the Netflix series. Was Jon Hamm's acting in six episodes of 'Mad Men' really more deserving than Kyle Chandler's work in thirteen episodes of 'Bloodline'?

Lena Headey in 'Game of Thrones'

Lena Headey has never received a SAG nomination in the 'Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Drama Series' category for her role as Cersei Lannister. Do these SAG people not have HBO? Did they not watch season five? I really thought she was finally going to get nominated this year. Maybe her time on screen is considered too much of a supporting role to qualify.
