The awards, voted on by members of the SAG-AFTRA
acting union, are closely watched as indicators of which movies
will fare well at the Oscars ceremony in March. Actors form the
largest group that will vote for the Academy Awards.
Dark Western "The Power of the Dog" also received three SAG
nominations for actors Benedict Cumberbatch, Kirsten Dunst and
Kodi Smit-McPhee. But it was shut out of the contenders vying
for best cast, as was Steven Spielberg's critically acclaimed
remake of musical "West Side Story."
The films that will challenge "Gucci" for best movie cast are
"Belfast" about a family living amid conflict in late 1960s
Northern Ireland; deaf community story "CODA;" "King Richard"
about the father of tennis stars Venus and Serena Williams; and
"Don't Look Up," a comedy that is an allegory about climate
change.
In "Gucci," Gaga plays Patrizia Reggiani, an ambitious outsider
who married into the family only to have her former spouse,
played by Adam Driver, killed off. Leto portrays misunderstood
designer Paolo Gucci.
Other film acting nominees included Ben Affleck for his turn as
a caring uncle in "The Tender Bar," Will Smith for the title
role in "King Richard," and Nicole Kidman and Javier Bardem for
their portrayals of Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz in "Being the
Ricardos."
"West Side Story" received one nomination for supporting actress
Ariana DeBose.
The SAG Awards are scheduled to be handed out at a live
televised ceremony on Feb. 27, one month ahead of the Oscars.
Netflix Inc scored the most SAG movie nominations of any film
studio, with seven in total, while HBO and HBO Max topped the
television field with 14 nods.
The television nominations included five each for cutthroat
corporate family drama "Succession" and feel-good
fish-out-of-water comedy "Ted Lasso." South Korean dark drama
"Squid Game" landed four nominations.
