And I agree to some other comments. Nicole Kidman did not sneak into the nominations because of star power and a "loving relationship" with SAG. She was snubbed for To Die For, snubbed for her two 2001 flicks, Moulin Rouge! and The Others. Zero wins. 2 previous nominations (The Hours and Rabbit Hole). She was just brilliant. PERIOD. The Screen Actors Guild got this one right!

Nicole Kidman DESERVED her Screen Actors Guild nomination for The Paperboy. Yes, the film was lambasted, but when you nominate an actor for an acting category, the performance is the one being judged, and NOT THE FILM. She gave one of the best performances of the year, hands down.

The thing is Bardem is possibly the most highly regarded actor coming from a non-English speaking country, and Kidman is a living legend.

Snubbing Parks & Recreation for Best Ensemble in a Comedy is absolutely criminal. The deep-in-decline, seen-much-better-days Office and Modern Family over Parks & Rec, REALLY SAG, REALLY?!?!? Have you WATCHED those shows lately? Are you giving them awards based on what they USED to be, when they were great YEARS AGO?

Bullshit. That's what it is. Amy Adams gave one of the best performances I have ever seen, and they fucking snub her for it? She was amazing in The Master! I would follow this up with "I hope the Globes and Oscars don't make that same mistake", but who am I kidding?

The SAG doesn't care about star power-they care about power in the organization. It's why the big players usually end up there, like Kidman or Mirren.

Django Unchained wasn't screened in time for a SAG, at least from what I've read.

Best Ensemble In A Drama no Game of Thrones, or The Walking Dead, or American Horror Story?
and honestly this season of Boardwalk Empire was horrible. and "Downton Abbey" is not THAT good.

Mr. Lyttelton seems to reveal a casual distate for organized labor by attributing the exclusion of "Beasts of the Southern Wild" to "arcane guild-related reasons." As reported in the New York Times and elsewhere, Fox Searchlight had the opportunity to retroactively comply with the guild's "low-budget feature agreement," which would've required them to pay the actors some more money, among other things. They declined. Indiewire has already been forced to correct its reporting on this issue, having erroneously reported that the use of non-professional actors is what rendered the film ineligible: http://blogs.indiewire.com/shadowandact/sag-aftra-clarifies-beasts-of-the-southern-wild-actors-sag-awards-ineligibility-report

The Paperboy was a terrible movie and Kidman was bad in it. It wasnt a brave performance it was over the top. SAG going for star power.

I personally think Bardem and Kidman deserve it. Good on SAG for rewarding two polarizing (yet gripping) performances…
