Six months after his death, Chadwick Boseman has made history at the SAG Awards with four nominations: included in the Cast award nominations for Ma Rainey's Black Bottom and Da 5 Bloods, and nominated as Best Actor for the former and Best Supporting Actor for the latter. Meanwhile Helena Zengel became the youngest choice to date by the Screen Actors' Guild, nominated for her performance opposite Tom Hanks in News Of The World.

The Trial Of The Chicago 7 equalled Da 5 Bloods for nominations with three apiece, itself a rarity in these awards, which actors value highly because their performances are judged by their peers.

Those film nominations in full:-

Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture

Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Leading Role

Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Leading Role

Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Supporting Role

Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Supporting Role

Outstanding Stunt Ensemble in a Motion Picture
