Jennifer Lawrence in the movie JOY.
It may be the most wonderful time of the year in other ways, but movies opening on or around Christmas traditionally face a significant hurdle when it comes to landing SAG Awards nominations.

Maybe we shouldn't be surprised by Sarah Silverman's SAG Awards nomination
One of the surprises of Wednesday's SAG Awards nominations was Sarah Silverman's inclusion in the category "performance by a female actor in a leading role." But all the way back in January at Sundance, people were talking about Silverman's turn toward dramatic acting in "I Smile Back," as Times writer Amy Kaufman wrote during the Utah festival.
