LOS ANGELES (Dec. 12, 2012) — Nominees for the 19th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards® for outstanding performances in 2012 in five film and eight primetime television categories as well as the SAG Awards honors for outstanding action performances by film and television stunt ensembles were announced this morning in Los Angeles at the Pacific Design Center’s SilverScreen Theater in West Hollywood.

SAG-AFTRA Executive Vice President Ned Vaughn introduced Busy Philipps (TBS’ “Cougar Town” and the 19th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards® Social Media Ambassador) and Taye Diggs (“Private Practice”) who announced the nominees for this year’s Actors®. SAG Awards® Committee Vice Chair Daryl Anderson and Committee Member Woody Schultz announced the stunt ensemble nominees.

The 19th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards® will be simulcast live nationally on TNT and TBS on Sunday, Jan. 27 at 8 p.m. (ET)/5 p.m. (PT) from the Los Angeles Shrine Exposition Center.

Of the top industry accolades presented to performers, only the Screen Actors Guild Awards® are selected solely by actors’ peers in SAG-AFTRA. Two nominating panels — one for television and one for film — each composed of 2,100 randomly selected union members from across the United States, chose this year’s Actor® and stunt ensemble honors nominees. Integrity Voting Systems, the Awards’ official teller, mailed the nominations secret ballots on Wednesday, Nov. 21. Voting was completed at noon on Monday, Dec. 10.

Final voting information will be mailed via postcard on Friday, Dec. 31, 2012. The eligible SAG-AFTRA membership across the country, numbering approximately 100,000 actors, may vote on all categories. Online voting is encouraged. In keeping with the SAG Awards®’ commitment to sustainable practices, paper ballots will be available only upon request, which must be made by Monday, Jan. 14, 2013. All votes must be received at Integrity Voting Systems by noon on Friday, Jan. 25. Results will be tallied and sealed until the envelopes are opened by the presenters at the 19th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards® ceremony on Jan. 27, 2013.

The Screen Actors Guild Post-Awards Gala benefiting the Screen Actors Guild Foundation will be hosted for the 17th consecutive year by People Magazine and the Entertainment Industry Foundation (EIF).

wow I hope Louis C.K. gets a trophy, he has created a terrific vehicle for his humor and I like Bradley Cooper for a win and predict Brian Cranston to win multiples; the man is phenomenal in any scene he's in.

When is SAG going to stop kissing Betty White's ass and nominating her every year for Hot In Cleveland?

[eastofeden]

The only ones I have an opinion about...

Bryan Cranston for Breaking Bad
Jessica Lange..American Horror Stroy (she is scary good)
Edie Falco...Nurse Jackie
Ed Harris & Sigourney Weaver...Game Change

Drama...Breaking Bad
Comedy...Nurse Jackie

I haven't seen any of the films yet

[braex27]

Wow. Such good nominations this year.

[dougmc92]

yeah- agree about Betty White...Maggie Smith seems to be the go to girl also- love her in Downton, but it's not some great performance......Joaquin Phoenix must have pissed too many people off....

[sammyyummy]

thought Woody in Game Change was amazing, and so was Julianne Moore;
always thought nicole kidman is a brilliant actress.
would be interesting to watch bradley vs daniel though

Perplexed at why Sofia Vergara gets nominated when she is just being herself when she plays a character om modern family

[mrniick]

Sofia is nominated? Awesome!!!

[dougmc92]

bump- coming up in a couple weeks- back on 1st page

I would like to see Louis CK win. His show is very funny. I also am hoping Bradley Cooper wins. His performance was great. Silver Linings Playbook is my favorite movie so far. I would also like to see it win best picture.

[ravenstar]

I just watched the awards on TV in Australia. Are there no other actresses on American TV except Clare Danes. I've never understood her appeal.

I think Homeland is a great show and Danes has had some great moments. But I don't think I've seen someone more inconsistent over the course of a series. It's astounding how both amazing and terrible she can be from week to week.

Cranston deserves every award there is but it's disappointing how the show itself never wins a damn thing. It really is the best show on TV.

Modern Family is atrocious. Why are the same old mediocre comedies always nominated for these awards? Community? Happy Endings? Those shows define brilliant ensemble comedy. I do, however, enjoy Louie getting the credit it deserves.

Tommy Lee Jones is deserving, though I'd like to have seen Lincoln win best ensemble for the mere inclusion of James Spader, who has never been better.
