SAG Awards 2018 nominations: Game of Thrones, The Crown, The Handmaid’s Tale, and more

The SAG Awards 2018 nominations were announced on early Wednesday, and we would note that by and large, they are predictable. The SAG Awards have always been predictable. Once they uncover a list of shows/performers that they like they don’t often move all that far away from them.

Therefore, don’t be surprised to see so many shows and performers on this list who have been here before. If you’re looking for our take on notable snubs, just be sure to come back a little bit later in the morning.

After all of the inexplicable snubs that have taken place elsewhere, it’s actually rather nice to see Veep nominated somewhere for an award again!

Comedy Actress

Uzo Aduba, Orange is the New Black

Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Veep

Jane Fonda, Grace and Frankie

Not sure we agree with two Grace and Frankie nominations here, but here’s another thing about the SAG Awards: They love living legends.

In light of the death of stuntman John Bernecker on The Walking Dead this past year this nomination is all the more notable.
