SAG Awards Spread the Wealth, Chadwick Boseman Makes History With 4 Nominations

Brent Lang Executive Editor of Film and MediaThe Screen Actors Guild Awards spread the wealth when the organization announced nominations on Thursday for its 27th edition, failing to signal there were any clear frontrunners in either the film or television races.“Minari,” the story of an immigrant family trying to build a life in the rural South, “Da 5 Bloods, a Vietnam epic, and “The Trial of the Chicago 7,” a court room drama, and “Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom,” an adaptation of an August Wilson play, all scored a leading three nominations. The recognition felt like karmic justice for “Minari” and for “Da 5 Bloods” after the films were largely shut out of Wednesday’s Golden Globe nominations.
