A few moments ago the Screen Actors Guild announced the nominations for outstanding performances in 2015 in five (5) film and eight (8) television categories, as well as the honors for outstanding action performances by film and television stunt ensembles.My spontaneous reactions after the first and the largest guild nominations (most are Academy members and voters) is that there are too many surprises and not happy that both Rooney Mara and Alicia Vikander went to Supporting instead of Lead. Most are talking about the absence of Oscar front-runners in the Cast category, believe that Spotlight and The Big Short were already contenders and yes perhaps those missing are films like The Martian, Mad Max: Fury Road, and more I can't recall right now.
The most incredible snubs for me are Jennifer Lawrence in Joy and Kristen Stewart in Clouds of Sils Maria. Then it's an incredible achievement and surprise to find Helen Mirren with two nominations, one for Lead and another for Supporting. Will not deny that I highly enjoy her performance in Woman in Gold, so shouldn't be a surprise but there was no reliable buzz that could predict this honor. Then Sarah Silverman instead of Lily Tomlin or Blythe Danner, for example, is quite incomprehensible for me. Also with two (2) nominations Mark Rylance, one from TV and the other in Film.
Trumbo leads with three (3) nominations

Carol Burnett � comedic trailblazer, actor, singer, dancer, producer and author � has been named the 52nd recipient of SAG-AFTRA's highest tribute: the SAG Life Achievement Award for career achievement and humanitarian accomplishment. Burnett is known for her comedic and dramatic roles on television, film and Broadway, most notably The Carol Burnett Show. She counts multiple Emmys�, a special Tony�, the Presidential Medal of Freedom, a Kennedy Center Honor and the Mark Twain Prize for Humor among her preeminent industry and public honors.
To check nominations for TV and Stunts go to the official site here. Have to comment that is quite remarkable that Mad Max: Fury Road got NO major nomination in the main categories and the only nod is in the Stunt Ensemble in a Motion Picture, sigh.
Nevertheless undoubtedly this awards season will be interesting to follow as nothing makes sense up to this moment and we are almost in mid-December. Let's see what happens tomorrow with the Golden Globes nominations maybe we could start to see some clarity into this mess.
