A few moments ago early morning, the nominations for 2012 Screen Actors Guild or SAG Awards were announced. The biggest snubs includes Joaquin Phoenix for The Master, Emmanuelle Riva for Amour and Amy Adams for The Master. There were some notable surprises too like Nicole Kidman getting nominated in Supporting Actress category for The Paperboy and Javier Bardem getting nominated in Supporting Actor category for Skyfall which i somehow expected but wasn't sure. I knew that they will love The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel and not The Master, Moonrise Kingdom etc. I heard about some Screener problem with Django Unchained too and to those who were expecting Zero Dark Thirty ensemble nod, well Jessica Chastain is the only actress that really holds the movie she is the best part about it. In Best Actress category, Helen Mirren for being Helen Mirren got in as well as Naomi Watts for The Impossible thanks to the promotional campaign for the actors in that movie by some of the industry members. Maggie Smith was really good in The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel and i am happy for her nomination.

Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture
ARGO (Warner Bros. Pictures)
THE BEST EXOTIC MARIGOLD HOTEL (Fox Searchlight)
LES MISERABLES (Universal Pictures)
