SAG Award Nominations- Really?!

Alright, I have no idea who actually votes for the SAG awards- is it every member of SAG and therefore there is a vested interest in who is nominated. Here are the nominations followed by my my thoughts, especially on omissions   

Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Comedy Series

Alec Baldwin “30 Rock” (NBC)

Ty Burrell “Modern Family” (ABC)

Louis C.K. “Louie” (FX)

Jim Parsons “The Big Bang Theory” (CBS)

Eric Stonestreet “Modern Family” (ABC)

Where is Nick Offerman with quite possibly the best character on TV- Ron Swanson? How about Danny Devito as Frank Reynolds? What is so special about Ty Burrell's performance on Modern Family? Enough Modern family already! 

Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Comedy Series

Edie Falco “Nurse Jackie” (Showtime)

Tina Fey “30 Rock” (NBC)

Amy Poehler “Parks and Recreation” (NBC)

Sofia Vergara “Modern Family” (ABC)

Betty White “Hot in Cleveland” (TV Land)

Sofia Vergara qualifies as acting. She's playing a Hot Latina with Big Breasts. Who is Sofia Vergara- a Hot Latina with Big Breasts.  Oh, that's acting!? 

Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series

“30 Rock” (NBC)

“The Big Bang Theory” (CBS)

“Glee” (Fox)

“Modern Family” (ABC)

“Nurse Jackie” (Showtime)

“The Office” (NBC)

Where in God's name is "Parks & Recreation"?  The Office has been pretty bad this year. Glee?!

Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Drama Series

Claire Danes “Homeland” (Showtime)

Michelle Dockery “Downton Abbey” (PBS)

Jessica Lange “American Horror Story: Asylum” (FX)

Julianna Margulies “The Good Wife” (CBS)

Maggie Smith “Downton Abbey” (PBS)

Don't watch any of these shows except for Homeland and I love Claire Danes.  

Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Drama Series

Steve Buscemi “Boardwalk Empire” (HBO)

Bryan Cranston “Breaking Bad” (AMC)

Jeff Daniels “The Newsroom” (HBO)

Jon Hamm “Mad Men” (AMC)

Damian Lewis “Homeland” (Showtime)

Take out Jeff Daniels (one of my all time favorite actors but "The Newsroom" is just awful) and replace with Timothy Olyphant of Justified.

Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series

“Boardwalk Empire” (HBO)

“Breaking Bad” (AMC)

“Downton Abbey” (PBS)

“Homeland” (Showtime)

“Mad Men” (AMC)

Hard to argue with any of these, but a nomination for "The Walking Dead" would have been well deserved.
