The Biggest Surprises at the SAG Awards 2019 Nominations
Emily Blunt's Double Nomination
Mary Poppins Returns might not have set the box office on fire, but Emily Blunt certainly did. She's nominated for Best Actress in a Leading Role for her magical performance as the practically perfect nanny. But that's not all, folks! Blunt also scored a nod for Best Actress in a Supporting Role for her chilling turn in A Quiet Place. Talk about a double whammy!
Adam Driver's Historic Nomination
Marriage Story has been the darling of awards season, and Adam Driver is at the heart of it. Driver is nominated for Best Actor in a Leading Role, making him the first actor to be nominated for playing a Jewish character in a SAG Awards history. It's about time we see more diversity on our screens, and Driver's nomination is a step in the right direction.
The Snub That Had Us Saying "What?!"
Alright, let's address the elephant in the room. Joker was a cultural phenomenon, and Joaquin Phoenix's performance was nothing short of extraordinary. So, why the snub in the Best Actor in a Leading Role category? We're still scratching our heads over this one, folks. Phoenix's performance was a masterclass in acting, and we expected to see him among the nominees.

Best Ensemble in a Motion Picture
This category is all about teamwork, and the nominees this year are nothing short of stellar. Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, The Irishman, Marriage Story, Parasite, and Jojo Rabbit all made the cut. Each of these films boasts an incredible ensemble cast, and it's going to be a tough call for voters.

The Best Supporting Actor category is just as competitive. Brad Pitt (Once Upon a Time in Hollywood), Tom Hanks (A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood), Al Pacino (The Irishman), Joe Pesci (The Irishman), and Anthony Hopkins (The Two Popes) are all up for the prize.
Meanwhile, in the Best Supporting Actress category, we have Laura Dern (Marriage Story), Margot Robbie (Bombshell), Nicole Kidman (Bombshell), Jennifer Lopez (Hustlers), and Blunt's double nomination. Each of these actresses brought their A-game, making this category another tough one to call.
