SAG nominations are here, and as usual, the swatch of nominees didn't quite cover all the great performances on the small screen this year, which is not an unexpected problem in a time when people complain about there being too much good TV to watch.
But that said, it's hard to use the Too Much Greatness argument when seemingly the same shows and actors are honored every year. (Looking at you, Modern Family.)
In lieu of what we'll diplomatically call the old favorites, here's a few actors who should have snagged a nomination.
Jon Hamm, Mad Men
We're running out of chances to acknowledge how great Hamm has been in this role, which, by design, isn't one that affords him many opportunities for the large, splashy moments that get awards attention. But it's time to get over that and give him a statue for his great individual achievement here. (He won a SAG with the ensemble twice before in 2009 and 2010.)
Kerry Washington, Scandal
Kudos to Viola Davis for grabbing a nomination for the entire #TGIT team, but forgetting to honor the woman who breathed new life into the primetime soap? That's a bitch-baby move, SAG.
Charlie Hunnam, Sons of Anarchy
Sigh. We're going to keep saying it until it happens.
Jeffrey Tambor, Transparent
This was one of the most shocking omissions this morning, both because Tambor is both critically acclaimed in this role and well known to the SAG voting body. (He's been nominated three times before with the Arrested gang.) Our only explanation? Maybe Amazon needs to hand out some Prime memberships.
Chris Messina, The Mindy Project
Yes, Messina's epic Aaliyah dance was technically something that happened in late 2013, but we haven't forgotten it. And neither has the show, with a plotline this year about Danny's stripper past that allowed Messina to show off his epic dance moves once again. Thank you, Mindy. Thank you, universe. Get with it, SAG.
Nick Offerman, Parks and Recreation
Ron himself would probably not care about a SAG award, or any award, for that matter. But we care.
Alison Tolman, Fargo
Does this miniseries' breakout star deserve better? Youbetcha.
Wendy McClendon-Covey, The Goldbergs
How is this not funnier than some of the nominees?
Monica Potter, Parenthood
