Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie SAG Award nominations!

14th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards - Arrivals

The SAG Award nominations were announced this morning, and much like the Golden Globe nominations, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are both contenders in a variety of categories.

Brad Pitt is nominated for best actor and faces competition from Richard Jenkins (The Visitor), Frank Langella (Frost Nixon), Sean Penn (Milk), and Mickey Rourke (The Wrestler).

Benjamin Button is also up for best ensemble, up against Doubt, Frost/Nixon, Milk, and Slumdog Millionair, and Taraji P. Henson is nominated for supporting actress as well.

Meanwhile, Angelina Jolie is nominated for best actress, going head to head with Anne Hathaway (Rachel Getting Married), Melissa Leo (Frozen River), Meryl Streep (Doubt), and Kate Winslet (Rev Road).

So much talent all around, the awards are all going to be interesting to watch.

Meanwhile, this is certainly a nice birthday present for Brad Pitt, being nominated for a SAG award. Congratulations to them both!

(Remember when Brad and Angelina attended last year’s SAG Awards and everyone was still trying to figure out if she was pregnant and she wore the dress in the above photo? That was fun!)

    I don’t know, here’s why I think they have a shot:
    1) SAG and Globe nominations are good indicators of the Oscars, so Angie and prob Brad will def be in contention.
    2) Angie’s performance was underrated though Variety and others RAVED; everyone loves Clint; some critics have been lukewarm on Streep’s and Hathaway’s performance, and many do not like the movie Revolutionary Road (though I think Winslet IS her biggest competitor).
    3) Brad has never won an Oscar (or been nominated for one in the lead actor slot), and I think many people in the biz love him and root for him. So it could def be his year for an Oscar nomination, if not a win.

    I keep my hopes up because I think this might be the year Hollywood finally rallies around its golden couple. The scandal’s died down and Brad and Angie continue to do good work, which I think many are recognizing. So keep the faith Pittwatchers! :)

    How wonderful for Brad & Angie and what a great birthday present for Brad. I hope that one or both of them will win one of these awards. But I am inclined to agree with Isacutie about a HW conspiracy against them. If they don’t get Oscar nods, it will reinforce my suspicion.

    isacutie, I agree with what you have said. Glad they are nominated, but I am not to hopefull.

    That is true, Neela. :) And to us their fans, I think we’re very proud of them.

    Even if neither one of them wins an acting award, they were at least nominated. That’s still something to be proud of.

    Congralutlations to both Angie and Brad. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that at least one of these awards would be theirs. I’m someone of a skeptic these days, I’m sorry. Sometimes, I just think there’s a “conspiracy” against them, but I’m still wishing and wishing for them to win as they are both deserving. Will be so nice to see them at the RC.
