Will Smith has been nominated for an SAG Award
The ‘King Richard’ actor – who won a Golden Globe just days ago for his portrayal of Venus and Serena Williams’ father – is in the running for best actor.
The SAG Awards are voted for by other actors, and are seen by many as one of the main precursors to the Academy Awards.
Since the ceremony began in 1994, 105 of 108 Oscar winners in acting categories were also nominated for a SAG honour.
Will faces tough competition in his category, Andrew Garfield (‘Tick, Tick… BOOM!’), Javier Bardem (‘Being the Ricardos’), Benedict Cumberbatch (‘The Power of the Dog’) and Denzel Washington (‘The Tragedy of Macbeth’) all nominated.
The shortlist has been unveiled for this year’s ceremony, with ‘The Power of the Dog’ and Lady Gaga’s ‘House of Gucci’ leading the way with three nods each.
The latter is in the running for best ensemble, while Cumberbatch and Gaga are both nominated for their respective performances.
Gaga’s co-star Jared Leto is in the running for best supporting actor opposite The Power of the Dog’s Kodi Smit-McPhee, whose co-star Kirsten Dunst is on the shortlist in the supporting actress category.
Taking to Instagram, Gaga wrote: “I am so beyond grateful to be nominated by the @sagawards for my performance in House of Gucci, for best ensemble, alongside Jared Leto for Best Supporting Actor.
“I have long dreamed of being an actress and studied from a young age because I was passionate and committed to storytelling through art.
“To be recognized by fellow actors touches my heart and is deeply meaningful that I would be included in this artistic community of brave imaginative humans.
“Thank you so much and congratulations to all the other nominees as well as all the performers in films this year—you are all gifts to the world and I’m so honored to be in your company.”
