'Bridesmaids' Surprises With Screen Actors Guild Nod

'The Artist,' 'The Descendants,' 'The Help' and 'Midnight in Paris' will also vie for SAG Awards' top prize.By Kevin P. Sullivan Kristen Wiig in "Bridesmaids" Photo: Universal Pictures The Screen Actors Guild announced its nominees Wednesday (December 14) for the best performances of the year in both television and film. The SAG Awards are the only ones with actors choosing among their peers to select the winners, so they are considered to be among the highest honors in Hollywood. With the Golden Globe nominations arriving Thursday and the Academy Awards looming in the near future, everyone is eagerly searching for some hint of how things may shake out on Oscar night. Among the SAG nominations, there are plenty of the familiar names that have garnered awards attention this year, but also a fair number of surprises. Demián Bichir, the lead in "A Better Life," had been on the fringes of awards talk in recent weeks, but snagged a best actor nomination for the immigration drama over the likes of Michael Fassbender for "Shame" and Gary Oldman for "Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy." Jonah Hill, who earned critical praise for his work next to Brad Pitt in "Moneyball," had been considered an awards dark horse, but he walked away with a nomination for supporting actor. Of the four films singled out for best ensemble, the top movies award for the SAGs, "Bridesmaids" came away as the surprising but welcome addition to the conversation. Its cast scored a nomination for the top prize alongside those from "The Artist," "The Descendants," "The Help" and "Midnight in Paris."
