Tutte le nominations degli Screen Actors Guild Awards

Il sindacato degli attori, il più numeroso e potente di Hollywood, ha scelto i suoi preferiti per il 2011.

Sono nominations particolarmente prevedibili e deludenti, con qualche lodevole eccezione… premiata la coppia di The Artist, quella di My week with Marylin e quella di J.Edgar, i due protagonisti di Moneyball e ben 3 attrici di The Help, oltre Nick Nolte per The Warrior.

Lo sconosciuto Demian Bichir per A better life strappa una candidatura come miglior attore protagonista per il film di Chris Weisz, su un giardiniere immigrato che cerca di tenere il figlio alla larga dalle gang e dalla violenza della polizia nella Los Angeles multietnica.

Non ci sono nominations per film straordinari come Shame e Drive e per gli attori inglesi di Tinker Taylor Soldier Spy, così come sono stati ignorati Millenium: Uomini che odiano le donne, Molto forte incredibilmente vicino, Take Shelter e The tree of life. Neppure Kristen Dunst è riuscita a trovare spazio per Melancholia di Von Trier. Niente riconoscimenti neppure per Charlize Theron (Young Adult) e Woody Harrelson (Rampart).

Curiose le scelte per i migliori cast, che includono Bridesmaids, The Help e Midnight in Paris, accanto a The Descendants e The Artist. Tutte commedie.

E’ davvero difficile concordare con queste scelte, davvero troppo mainstream…
