2008 Screen Actors Guild Awards Nominees

The nominees for the 14th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards have been announced. Yet another awards show in the very top tier (which also contains the Golden Globes and Academy Awards) is the Screen Actors Guilds Awards, where the actors themselves choose the best performances from amongst their peers. It might not be the absolute best actor who is chosen (that is always debatable), but having some friends who are classically trained actors, one thing I do know is that actors very harshly critique other actors. Without further ado, here are the nominations.

The 14th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards, the only industry accolades devoted solely to actors honoring actors, will be simulcast live on TNT and TBS on Sunday, January 27th at 8PM EST from the Shrine Exposition Center in Los Angeles.
