Last week we learned which movies and which actors garnered nominations for the upcoming Golden Globe Awards and today we learn which movies and actors nabbed themselves noms for the Screen Actors Guild Awards this year as those nominations were announced here in LA this morning. Not surprising, the group of movies that have been buzzing with rumors of Oscar noms managed to be nominated for SAG awards … as well as the late Heath Ledger, who continues to rack up accolades for his stunning performance as The Joker in this summer’s blockbuster film Batman: The Dark Knight:

The Catholic school drama “Doubt” led contenders Thursday for the Screen Actors Guild Awards with five nominations, including honors for Meryl Streep, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Amy Adams and Viola Davis. The late Heath Ledger also earned a supporting-actor nomination, whose maniacal turn as the Joker in “The Dark Knight” has made him an Academy Awards front-runner. The Batman blockbuster also had a nomination for best stunt ensemble. Streep has a lead-actress nomination, while Hoffman, Adams and Davis are competing in supporting categories for “Doubt,” a war-of-wills tale between an old-school nun and a progressive priest. “Doubt” also has a nomination for overall cast performance, along with the romantic fantasy “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button,” the Richard Nixon saga “Frost/Nixon,” the gay-rights drama “Milk” and the poor-boy-makes-good tale “Slumdog Millionaire.” Kate Winslet grabbed two nominations, best actress for the domestic drama “Revolutionary Road” and supporting actress for the Holocaust-themed story “The Reader.” Other best-actress nominees were: Anne Hathaway, “Rachel Getting Married”; Angelina Jolie, “Changeling”; and Melissa Leo, “Frozen River.” Nominated for best actor were: Richard Jenkins, “The Visitor”; Frank Langella, “Frost/Nixon”; Sean Penn, “Milk”; Brad Pitt, “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button”; and Mickey Rourke, “The Wrestler.” The 15th annual SAG Awards will air live on TNT and TBS Jan. 25, four weeks before the Academy Awards.

Of this reported list of nominees there don’t seem to be any surprises … I think we’re getting a good feel for which movies and actors are likely to secure nominations for the Academy Awards (which will be announced next month). So many of my favorite films this year are all vying for the big awards that I think I’ll be pretty happy with whichever films win the big ones … but I am really, really pulling for Heath Ledger to first, be nominated for an Academy Award and second, to win his nomination. Of the supporting performances I’ve seen this year, no one else comes close to surpassing his amazing performance in The Dark Knight. While some may dismiss Ledger‘s posthumous nominations as pity or some other ridiculous notion, I honestly feel that he turned in an Oscar-worthy performance. At the very least, he is sure to win one of these major awards that he has already been nominated for. His loss is still so sad, this would be a very fitting and well-deserved way to honor his memory. I guess we’ll see.
