16th Annual Screen Actors Guild Nominations

I really have little to say about this morning's SAG nominations. However, there are three things are worth pointing out:

- No Up in the Air for Best Ensemble: I wouldn't read too much into this, since all 3 actors earned nods, but it is something to keep in mind as more awards come down the pike.

- Diane Kruger for Inglourious Basterds: Here's a left-field nomination, and not an undeserved one. But this is where Kruger's awards run begins and ends. Look for Julianne Moore or Samantha (or both) to make the Academy's top 5.

-The Last Station surfaces: Just a couple days ago I wondered aloud where The Last Station was in this year's race. Well, both Helen Mirren and Christopher Plummer showed up today, and that is probably all they'll need to get Oscar voter's to see the film and mark their names on the ballot.
