SAG Nominations Walk on the “Wild” Side

December 20th, 2007 // Leave a Comment

You can tell I haven’t had enough sleep when my blog titles start to get real punny. Announcers of the SAG Awards nominations were a very happy-looking Jeanne Tripplehorn and Terrence Howard, who excitedly revealed that “Into the Wild,” the drama based on the real-life story of a young man who decided to journey into the Alaskan wilderness had earned four nominations. Of its four nominations, the film, starring Emile Hirsch and directed by Sean Penn garnered the best ensemble cast nomination. Both “No Country for Old Men” and “Michael Clayton” earned three nominations, while “Atonement” and “Sweeney Todd” were surprisingly absent from the list of nominees. Additionally, best ensemble cast nominations also went to “American Gangster,” “3:10 to Yuma” and “Hairspray.” According to TheEnvelope.com, “SAG pulled some major surprises here. This really shakes up the (Oscar) race.” The awards are set to take place January 27th in Los Angeles.
