Each year, the SAG Awards honor the best actors on film and television, and the 2013 Screen Actors Guild Awards ceremony is no different.
Daniel Day-Lewis (for "Lincoln"), Hugh Jackman (for "Les Miserables"), Anne Hathaway (for "Les Miserables"), Jessica Chastain (for "Zero Dark Thirty") and Jennifer Lawrence (for "Silver Linings Playbook") are among the movie stars nominated at the 19th annual SAG Awards.
Tina Fey (for "30 Rock"), Alec Baldwin (for "30 Rock"), Betty White (for "Hot in Cleveland"), Jon Hamm (for "Mad Men"), Bryan Cranston (for "Breaking Bad"), Julianne Moore (for "Game Change") and Claire Danes (for "Homeland") are nominated on the television side.
The 2013 SAG Awards results could help clear up the very murky Oscar race. From previous HuffPost Entertainment coverage of the SAG Awards, via The Associated Press:
Honors from the actors union, next weekend's Directors Guild of America Awards and Saturday night's Producers Guild of America Awards – whose top honor went to "Argo" – typically help to establish clear favorites for the Oscars.But Oscar night on Feb. 24 looks more uncertain this time after some top directing prospects, including Ben Affleck for "Argo" and Kathryn Bigelow for "Zero Dark Thirty," missed out on nominations. Both films were nominated for best picture, but a movie rarely wins the top Oscar if its director is not also in the running.
Steven Spielberg's "Lincoln" would seem the Oscar favorite with 12 nominations. Yet "Argo" and Affleck were surprise best-drama and director winners at the Golden Globes, and then there's Saturday's Producers Guild win for "Argo," leaving the Oscar race looking like anybody's guess.
The Screen Actors Guild honors at least should help to establish solid front-runners for the stars. All four of the guild's individual acting winners often go on to receive the same prizes at the Academy Awards.
Last year, "The Help" won Outstanding Ensemble in a Motion Picture, while Viola Davis, Jean Dujardin, Octavia Spencer and Christopher Plummer won the respective acting awards; all but Davis won on Oscar night (she lost to Meryl Streep for Best Actress).
