With less than two weeks until Academy Awards nominations are announced, anxiety is running high for this year’s hopefuls. 

Wednesday's nominations for the Screen Actors Guild Awards dealt a tough blow to Mark Ruffalo (“Poor Things”), Greta Lee (“Past Lives”), Sandra Hüller ("Anatomy of a Fall"), and America Ferrera ("Barbie"), all of whom were snubbed after strong awards showings throughout the season. Streaming sensation "Saltburn," starring Barry Keoghan and Rosamund Pike, also faces an uphill battle to the Oscars after earning zero nominations from SAG, given that actors make up the largest voting branch of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. 

Here are the big names and movies that got the cold shoulder from the SAG Awards, streaming live on Netflix on Feb. 24 (8 p.m. EST/5 PST). 

Leonardo DiCaprio

Since the actors’ strike lifted last November, DiCaprio has largely stayed on the sidelines promoting “Killers of the Flower Moon,” allowing co-star Lily Gladstone to have her very much-deserved spotlight. Could that back-seat approach be why he was passed over at SAG for best actor? Or was his vile character simply too much for voters to stomach? Regardless, the 13-time SAG nominee was recognized in the best ensemble category alongside the "Killers" cast, while co-star Robert De Niro is also up for best supporting actor.

Natalie Portman

“May December” director Todd Haynes is the first person to fully utilize the comedic genius of Portman, playing a viperous TV star who stops at nothing to get into character. The Oscar winner earned nominations from the Golden Globes and Independent Spirit Awards for her captivating performance, which culminates in a four-minute, tour-de-force monologue delivered straight to the camera. But sadly, Portman’s brilliant work went unrecognized in SAG’s best actress category. Her co-stars, Charles Melton and Julianne Moore, were similarly blanked for supporting roles.

Fantasia Barrino

The “American Idol” winner is phenomenal in “The Color Purple,” reprising the role of Celie that she first played on Broadway 15 years ago. The movie musical earned a best ensemble nomination for its star-studded cast, while co-star Danielle Brooks was acknowledged in a supporting actress role. But Barrino should have been singled out for her emotional powerhouse lead turn, beautifully showing how Celie blossoms into a successful, independent woman after surviving unspeakable abuse.

'Poor Things'

Days after winning best comedy at the Golden Globes, “Poor Things” was curiously passed over for SAG’s best ensemble trophy (the awards’ equivalent of best picture). The feminist Frankenstein movie has no shortage of recognizable faces, including stars Emma Stone, Willem Dafoe, Ruffalo and Ramy Youssef, as well as Jerrod Carmichael and Margaret Qualley in minor roles. But of them, only Stone and Dafoe managed SAG nominations, playing a reanimated woman and her “creator,” respectively.

Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor

Ava DuVernay’s “Origin” is a sprawling and wildly ambitious look at the caste system and its insidious impact on world history. The film, at times, bites off more than it can chew, but Ellis-Taylor is absolutely staggering as author Isabel Wilkerson, who weathered intense loss while researching her 2020 bestseller “Caste.” It’s absurd that she’s been passed over by most major awards bodies this season, now including SAG.

Zac Efron

One of awards season’s biggest mysteries has been the near-shutout of “The Iron Claw,” a gut-wrenching saga about the Von Erich wrestling dynasty. We had hoped the film’s strong box-office hold would help push Efron into the best actor race, but after getting ignored by SAG, his chances of Oscar glory seem minimal at best.

Andrew Scott

The "Fleabag" star gives the year's most achingly vulnerable performance in "All of Us Strangers," a heartbreaking drama about a gay man reconnecting with his long-dead parents. Scott has been a dark-horse contender all season long with nominations from the Golden Globes and Independent Spirit Awards, as well as major wins from numerous critics' groups. His SAG snub is a blow to his campaign, but he could still eke out an Oscar nod like his co-star Paul Mescal, a surprise best actor nominee for last year's "Aftersun."
