In a statement, SAG-AFTRA President Fran Drescher praised the EGOT — Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony — winner as “a towering icon with a tireless work ethic who has grown with each step of her remarkable journey.” Used to be.”
Speeches at next month’s ceremony will surely include several references to last year’s Hollywood strikes, which saw the industry shut down as SAG-AFTRA — along with the writers’ guild — went head-to-head with the studios.
An agreement was eventually reached to end the actors’ strike in November. While Netflix will host the ceremony, none of its films were nominated for the night’s biggest award.
But the streamer received nominations for five films, including Bradley Cooper and Carey Mulligan for Leonard Bernstein biopic ‘Maestro’ and Jodie Foster and Annette Bening for ‘Nyad’.
Elsewhere, Globes winners Paul Giamatti and Da’Vine Joy Randolph scored nods for ‘The Holdovers’, as did Emma Stone and her co-star Willem Dafoe for ‘Poor Things’.
