Evan C Posted December 13, 2017 Report Share Posted December 13, 2017 Huh. The Post was shut out completely. Was it not screened in time, or did the SAG not care for it? Of these five, I haven't seen Mudbound yet, but I would guess the race is between Lady Bird and Get Out for the Oscar.

Was it not screened in time, or did the SAG not care for it? Oh, SAG members had a chance to see it, all right. I went to a press screening in Vancouver a couple weeks ago and got a DVD copy of the film shortly after that. I would be very, very, *very* surprised if SAG members had not had at least as many chances to see it as I did. I also liked the film a lot, but I guess SAG liked these other films (or the performances therein) more. Of these five, Lady Bird is the only one that I don't have as a screener or can't watch on streaming. (Mudbound is on Netflix, The Big Sick is on Amazon, and I have DVDs of the other two. I also have a DVD of Mudbound, which is kind of redundant, not least because I can stream a higher-def version of the film!) So I guess I should watch it soon.

Peter T Chattaway Posted January 6, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2018 The Producers Guild Award nominees (there are supposed to be 10, but instead there are 11, because of a tie!): The Big Sick Call Me by Your Name Dunkirk Get Out I, Tonya Lady Bird Molly's Game The Post The Shape of Water Three Billboards outside Ebbing, Missouri Wonder Woman Notably, one of the five SAG ensemble nominees is missing from this list, namely Mudbound. The winner will be announced January 20. Quote "Sympathy must precede belligerence. First I must understand the other, as it were, from the inside; then I can critique it from the outside.

Peter T Chattaway Posted January 23, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2018 And the nominees are... Call Me by Your Name Darkest Hour Dunkirk Get Out Lady Bird Phantom Thread The Post The Shape of Water Three Billboards outside Ebbing, Missouri Get Out, Lady Bird and Three Billboards are the only films that also got SAG ensemble nominations. And, interestingly, while there were 11 PGA nominations and 9 Oscar nominations, only 7 films made it onto both lists (Call Me by Your Name, Dunkirk, Get Out, Lady Bird, The Post, The Shape of Water, Three Billboards). So Darkest Hour and Phantom Thread are the two Oscar nominees that didn't get *either* SAG or PGA nominations. Quote "Sympathy must precede belligerence.
