Netflix takes top spot in SAG Awards nominations list
The Crown and Stranger Things could potentially pick up three awards each
The nominations for the 23rd annual Screen Actors Guild Awards have been announced. And it could be a very good night for Netflix.
The online streaming giant picked up 17 nominations as the shortlist was revealed: Stranger Things picked up three nominations (Best Ensemble in a Drama Series; both Millie Bobby Brown and Winona Ryder are on the shortlist for Best Female Actor in a Drama Series), as did royal drama The Crown (Best Ensemble in a Drama Series, John Lithgow for Best Male Actor in a Drama Series and Claire Foy for Best Female Actor in a Drama Series).
HBO was just behind Netflix on 13 nominations, with Game of Thrones and Westworld both up for three awards each.
Golden Globes favourite The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story scooped up three nominations, including Best Male Actor for both Sterling K. Brown and Courtney B. Vance.
And with four nominations, Amazon Studios’ Manchester By The Sea is tipped to be the biggest motion picture winner of the night.
