The nominations for the 2026 Actor Awards (SAG Awards are no more!) are here, and with such an overwhelming number of strong contenders this year, it’s no surprise that a few notable snubs emerged.<\/p>\n
Perhaps the most surprising is that “Wicked: For Good<\/a>” wasn’t nominated for Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture, and that past Oscar nominee Cynthia Erivo also didn’t receive a nomination for her performance in the sequel musical (her co-star, Ariana Grande<\/a>, nabbed a nom for Outstanding Female Actor In A Supporting Role).<\/p>\n Another major snub this year is “Abbott Elementary” star Quinta Brunson not appearing in the Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Comedy Series category for the first time, although her sitcom is up for best ensemble. Brunson has been nominated individually every year since 2023.<\/p>\n Others who missed out on nominations this year include: Tessa Thompson, who delivered a chaotic yet deeply nuanced performance in Nia DaCosta’s critically acclaimed adaptation, “Hedda<\/a>“; Adam Scott, leading star of Apple TV hit “Severance” (which is up for best ensemble in a drama); the acclaimed family drama “Sentimental Value,” despite raking in numerous nominations at the Golden Globes and Critics Choice Awards; and “Jay Kelly,” despite a career-best performance from Adam Sandler<\/a>.<\/p>\n
