Ugly Betty Racks Up The SAG Award Noms

by Tom on December 20th, 2007

SAG

Congratulations to the entire cast of Ugly Betty for receiving a Screen Actors Guild Award nomination for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series.  This is much deserved, the entire cast should get more recognition as a group. 

Also receiving nominations are America Ferrera AND Vanessa Williams for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Comedy Series.  Vanessa Williams SO deserves this award; she has been snubbed many times the during last couple of years, and she gives the show such a pizazz that it just wouldn’t have the same feel without her.

Of course, that’s not top say America Ferrera doesn’t deserve another award; she is the heart and sould of Ugly Betty.  But, since we’re forced to choose between them, I’d like to see Williams get the award.

The other nominees for female actress in a comedy series:

CHRISTINA APPLEGATE / Samantha Newly – “Samantha Who?” (ABC)
TINA FEY / Liz Lemon – “30 Rock” (NBC)
MARY-LOUISE PARKER / Nancy Botwin – “Weeds” (Showtime)

A good field, indeed.  Tina Fey is the woman of the moment, it seems, so she’s probably the favorite.  The other nominees for ensemble cast in a comedy series:

30 ROCK (NBC)
DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES (ABC)
ENTOURAGE (HBO)
THE OFFICE (NBC)

If the SAGs follow the Golden Globes,  Entourage will probably get the nod (there seems to be a huge cable bias this year), but the real money is probably on 30 Rock (see Tina Fey, above).  I still have my fingers crossed for Ugly Betty, however.

Full list of nominees.  Congrats to all!
