December 16, 2010 at 11:46AM EST Reply to CommentSad to see inception snub i think it deserve a nod more than black swan or even the fighter. I really don't understand the exclusion of inception in the ensemble category that really was an ensemble piece. I think inception chance of winning is dying fast, unless it mange to sweep the dga, pga, and wga (which is more luckily than the fighter, black swan or true grit).
Other stuff that pissed me off is hilary swank, really she doesn't deserve a nod and especially in the same year as Annette Bening. Where is michelle william and ryan gosling? Andrew garfield, i thought he was better than jesse Essienberg. Where is jackie weaver, and i don't think Mila Kunis this much recognition, but i guess they like the award up and coming stars.

December 16, 2010 at 12:10PM EST Reply to CommentI don't think the Inception snub is that surprising. The SAG Awards reward achievements in acting only, Inception's key strengths lay in its writing and direction. The acting is solid too, but I understand why The Kids Are Alright was nominated ahead of it. Come the Oscars, when writing, acting, directing, cinematography etc are all considered, I've no doubt Inception will see numerous nominations.
