«Imitation» also received a
nomination for Outstanding Performance by a
Cast in a Motion Picture, the Screen Actors Guild Awards equivalent of
Best Picture, when the SAG Awards nominees were announced yesterday.
Besides the award for
best cast, Viola Davis was nominated for
best actress, while Jessica Chastain and Octavia Spencer received
nominations in the supporting - actress category, Winners are due to be announced on Jan. 29 in ceremonies that will be televised by Time Warner - owner cable channels TBS and TNT.
Especially when it comes to his actors and actresses, Vallee seems
good for one or two
nominations from his
cast now, so not only is Gyllenhaal a huge player, you have to assume that co-stars Chris Cooper and Naomi Watts are in play too, with Watts in particular a strong case.
Bradley Cooper (usually a smart and talented actor) was, frankly, not particularly
well cast or
well directed in this ho - hum picture and the idea of him getting a
best actor
nomination ahead of Oyelowo or Spall or Ralph Fiennes is pretty silly.
Sure you have your locks like Mo'Nique, Cristoph Waltz and Meryl Streep — just to name a few.But from the big three you could possibly have up to eight
nominations, in a
best cast scenario.
For the film, she received
nominations for the Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by a
Cast in a Motion Picture, Satellite Award for
Best Supporting Actress — Motion Picture, and Broadcast Film Critics Association Award for
Best Acting Ensemble, and won the National Board of Review Award for
Best Cast and Empire Award for
Best Female Newcomer.
