SAG Nominees Mirror Golden Globes

The Screen Actors Guild unveiled the nominees for its 16th annual Screen Actors Guild Awards Thursday morning, and to no surprise, Inglorious Basterds, Precious, and Up in the Air topped the list with three nominations each—each made the cut for outstanding performance by a motion picture cast (the equivalent of best picture). Other nominees in that category included An Education, The Hurt Locker, and the musical Nine. The list for motion picture lead actor nearly mirrored the Golden Globe Awards: George Clooney (Up in the Air), Colin Firth (A Single Man), Morgan Freeman (Invictus), and newcomer Jeff Bridges (Crazy Heart), who was left out of the Globes. Leading lady nominations also followed close to the Globes: Sandra Bullock (The Blind Side), Helen Mirren (The Last Station), Carey Mulligan (An Education), Gabourey Sidibe (Precious) and Meryl Streep (Julie & Julia). The awards air January 23, 2010.
