On a yearly basis, the Screen Actors Guild Awards announce their nominations for that year’s winners in film and shows. So, we’re right on target with this year’s nominations. And as we’ve come to learn over the last couple of years or so, Apple TV+ is a contender.
And that’s certainly the case this year. Apple TV+ has announced today that it has earned a dozen nods from the SAG Awards this year. What’s more, many of those nominations are for leading categories including outstanding performances in an ensemble cast. Both Apple’s films and series are included in the mix.
From today’s announcement:
Today the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards announced that Apple TV+ has been recognized with 12 SAG Award nominations across Apple Original films and series including “CODA,” “The Tragedy of Macbeth,” “Ted Lasso” and “The Morning Show.”
With the nominations now out there in the wild, it’s all about waiting to see who the winners are. We’ll need to wait until Sunday, February 27, 2022, to find out, though.
