Actors in the movie "Manchester by the Sea
Los Angeles - Arab Today

Kenneth Lonergan's tender family drama "Manchester by the Sea" scored the most nominations on Wednesday for the Screen Actors Guild Awards, seen as a major bellwether for the Oscars.

The movie received nods in four categories -- best ensemble cast, best lead actor (Casey Affleck), and best supporting actor (Lucas Hedges) and actress (Michelle Williams).

Joining "Manchester" in the running for best cast -- the SAG's top award — are coming-of-age drama "Moonlight," comedies "Hidden Figures" and "Captain Fantastic" and race relations story "Fences."

On the television side, five series were tied at the top with three nominations each -- Netflix's "The Crown" and "Stranger Things," HBO's "Game of Thrones" and "Westworld," and FX's "The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story." 

The SAG nominations are the second major announcement in Tinseltown's glittering awards season, which climaxes with the Academy Awards in February.

Damien Chazelle's musical romance "La La Land", set in modern-day Los Angeles, topped nominations for the Golden Globes on Monday.

Although less high-profile than the Globes, the SAG awards are seen as more of an indicator of Oscars glory, since members represent some 1,200 of the roughly 6,000 voters for the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

The awards were being closely watched this year as they follow controversy over the lack of diversity in last year's list of Oscar nominees.

Only one black actor, Denzel Washington, featured among the 10 nominees for best lead role in a movie, although there were four nominees from ethnic minority backgrounds in the supporting categories.

Sterling K Brown, Courtney B Vance, Riz Ahmed, Rami Malek, Thandie Newton, Audra McDonald and Kerry Washington were all nominated for individual TV acting awards.

- Hanks snubbed? -

"Manchester by the Sea," which tells the story of an uncle who has to look after his teenage nephew after the boy's father dies, is seen as a frontrunner for the Oscars.

In the best actor category, Affleck and Washington will face off against Andrew Garfield ("Hacksaw Ridge"), Ryan Gosling ("La La Land") and Viggo Mortensen ("Captain Fantastic"). 

For best actress, Amy Adams ("Arrival") will compete with Emily Blunt ("The Girl on the Train"), Natalie Portman ("Jackie"), Emma Stone ("La La Land") and Meryl Streep ("Florence Foster Jenkins").

Mahershala Ali -- best known for his portrayal of White House chief of staff Remy Danton in Netflix political drama "House of Cards" -- is up for three awards: best supporting actor and cast in "Moonlight" and best cast in "Hidden Figures."

Among the big surprises, box office hit "Sully" and its lead actor Tom Hanks were a notable omission, while Oscars favorite "La La Land" was shut out of the best cast nominations.

"(Hanks's) movie is a giant hit and earned him glowing reviews, yet the actor was overlooked by both the Golden Globes and SAG Awards this week," noted industry bible Variety.

"It's possible the category was just too tough. Or maybe people just take his greatness for granted."

The 23rd annual SAG awards winners will be announced on January 29 in Los Angeles. 

Last year, "Spotlight," a drama about sexual abuse in the Catholic church, took the prize for outstanding performance by a cast in a motion picture.
