| In its SAG nomination for Cast of a Motion Picture, ''Ma Rainey's' Black Bottom'' lists: Viola Davis, who plays Ma Rainey, and Chadwick Boseman, Colman Domingo, Michael Potts and Glynn Turman, who make up the singer's band. There's just one more actor included: Jonny Coyne, who played Sturdyvant, the white owner of the record label. But where's Jeremy Shamos, who played Irvin, Ma Rainey's white manager? Throughout the movie, Irvin is trying to keep Ma Rainey on track to finish the record. Irvin has more screen time than Sturdyvant, but Shamos isn't included in the SAG ensemble nomination. Which seems unfair. (If it were up to me, the ensemble also would include Taylor Paige, who played Ma Rainey's girlfriend.) Many of you might recognize Shamos from his Broadway work, which includes a Tony nomination for ''Clybourne Park.'' Is there a SAG member here who can explain how movies determine who's eligible for SAG's Cast in a Motion Picture? I suspect billing plays a role, but ''Ma Rainey's'' lists only 6 actors, while ''Da 5 Bloods'' lists up to 15 (a number of whom seem to be ''unknown''). Also nominated in Cast in a Motion Picture: Tony nominees Norm Lewis (''Porgy and Bess'') in ''Da 5 Bloods'' & Joaquina Kalukango (''Slave Play'') in ''One Night in Miami.'' And there are 4 Tony winners in ''The Trial of the Chicago 7'': Frank Langella, Eddie Redmayne, Mark Rylance and Alex Sharp. |
