It’s awards season time…and the
Screen Actors Guild (SAG) nominations came out on Wednesday recognizing some amazing work from people of color!
Not only was
Black Panther,
Blackkklansman and
Crazy Rich Asians nominated for Best Ensemble Cast, but so were
John David Washington (
Blackkklansman),
Mahershala Ali (
Green Book) and
Sterling K. Brown (
This Is Us) in their acting categories.
But as the nominees were announced by the lovely
Laverne Cox and
Awkwafina, it was hard to not notice that only one woman of color was nominated—
Sandra Oh (
Killing Eve)—and
REGINA KING WAS SNUBBED for her incredibly moving performance in
If Beale Street Could Talk!
Not only that, but in a year that also gave us the ballroom scene TV drama
Pose, the heist thriller
Widows, one of
Insecure’s best seasons and
Support The Girls, it’s unclear how the women
behind the work also got ignored.
Thankfully, Black Twitter had words for the Screen Actors Guild and demanded to know why with so much diverse talent to choose from, in 2018 the #SAGsAreSoWhite?
