2011 Screen Actors Guild Awards Nominees Have Been Unveiled« FirstShowing.net

The nominees for the17th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awardshave just been announced today. Yet another awards show in the very top tier (which also includes theGolden Globesand Academy Awards) is theScreen Actors Guilds Awards, where the actors themselves choose the best performances from amongst their peers. These nominees are usually very similar to those at the Oscars, so this may be a good indication.

I'd really love toThe King's Speechtake just about everything this year, but I'd also prefer Mila Kunis and Christian Bale in the supporting categories. All of the performances nominated above were incredible and they all deserve to be on here. I'll be happy with whoever ends up winning. We'll keep you updated on the latest awards news coming up this season. For now, all we've got are theGolden Globe nominations, too.
