LOS ANGELES – Nominations for the 30th annual Screen Actors Guild Awards were announced on Wednesday, with the movies “Barbie” and “Oppenheimer” leading the way with four nominations each, while the TV series “Succession” scored five nominations. The nominations were revealed in a presentation hosted by Issa Rae and Kumail Nanjiani.
In the movie categories, “Barbie” and “Oppenheimer” received nominations in the Outstanding Performance by a Cast category, along with “American Fiction,” “The Color Purple,” and “Killers of the Flower Moon.” Margot Robbie, Ryan Gosling, and the stunt team of “Barbie” were also nominated, while Cillian Murphy, Emily Blunt, and Robert Downey Jr. received nominations for their roles in “Oppenheimer.”

Similarly, in 2022, “CODA,” Will Smith, Jessica Chastain, Troy Kotsur, and Ariana DeBose won both at SAG and the Oscars.
