King’s Speech still the Oscar frontrunner, leads the SAG Awards nominations

Last Updated on August 5, 2021

THE KING’S SPEECH continues to prove it’s a force to be reckoned with this Oscar season as it picked up four nominations for the 17th Annual Screen Actors Guild awards tying for the top spot with THE FIGHTER, which also earned four noms. While the SAG Awards might not be great at predicting Best Picture, it’s notoriously accurate in predicting the acting awards (actors are, after all, the largest voting body in the Academy). Surprises include Hilary Swank getting a nomination for the critically panned CONVICTION, INCEPTION getting completely shut out, Andrew Garfield getting passed over for his supporting turn in SOCIAL NETWORK and little Hailie Steinfeld getting a nomination for her first role in TRUE GRIT.
