SAG Awards Nominate More Usual Suspects

Saturday December 20, 2008

The Screen Actors Guild announced the nominees for its annual awards, and following in the footsteps of the Golden Globes and the WGA and PGA Awards, the list looks pretty familiar. Awards favorites 30 Rock, The Office, Weeds and Entourage all received nominations; the only slight surprise was Desperate Housewives showing up in the Best Ensemble category (SAG's equivalent of an overall best show category). Its moment in the sun passed years ago, and it's not any more a comedy now than it was back then. There have to be some other, intentionally funny shows that could fill out these nominations. Check out the full list of TV comedy nominees after the jump, as well as the nominees for TV dramas and movies.
