2009 Screen Actors Guild Award Nominations (TV)

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, ABC, Cable, FOX, HBO, NBC, Showtime, TNT-HD, 24, Desperate Housewives, Entourage, House, The Office, News

Even though SAG members are currently debating whether to strike, today’s award nominations gave them all a brief distraction. If the upcoming Oscars telecast doesn’t go on as planned, next month’s Screen Actors Guild Awards (scheduled for January 25th on TNT and TBS) could be the last time actors have a reason to celebrate.

Here are some of the noteworthy mentions from this year’s list of television nominees:

• 30 Rock, Boston Legal, The Closer, John Adams and Mad Men all scored three noms each.
• Dexter is up for its first win in the Outstanding Drama Series Ensemble category.
• Desperate Housewives - a nominee for Best Ensemble - received no individual honors.
• Debra Messing (The Starter Wife), Kevin Connolly (Entourage), January Jones (Mad Men), Anna Paquin (True Blood) and Neil Patrick Harris (How I Met Your Mother) all received Golden Globe nominations, but no SAG noms.

Bright and early this morning, Kristin Chenoweth and Neil Patrick Harris announced the nominations for the 60th Primetime Emmy Awards.

This year, we saw many first-timers named, a long list of cable acknowledgements (for pay and basic channels) and several 6-way races.

Topping the noms for drama programs was newcomer Mad Men; NBC’s 30 Rock lead all comedy programs. In total, HBO was the most-nominated network while ABC came in second.

This year’s ceremony will be held on Sept. 21 on ABC.

Here are the most notable omissions/additions in this year’s list of television honorees:

• Damages and Longford led the pack with 4 nominations each.
• James Gandolfini and The Sopranos were both left out of the races (though Edie Falco did get a nod).
• Three of the nominees for best TV Comedy (Entourage, Extras, Californation) came from pay-cable networks.
• Past faves (Desperates Housewives, Heroes, Ugly Betty) were nowhere to be found.  (Though America Ferrera did earn a nod for her individual achievement.)
• HBO led the networks with 18 nominations; ABC was second with 11.
