LOS ANGELES (TheWrap.com) - The Golden Globes isn't a usually awards uncover where it unequivocally pays to be a film star.
It's a large assistance during a Screen Actors Guild Awards, too -- not since SAG electorate tan over celebrities a approach a Globes electorate famously do, though since a guild's garb endowment has a built-in disposition in preference of actors with a poke to negotiate auspicious opening-credit placement.
According to guild rules, garb endowment casts are represented by actors billed on apart cards in a categorical titles.
That's why, if we demeanour during SAG's inventory for a nominees in a Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture Award, you'll find what seem to be baffling oversights.
In a box of "The Descendants," for instance, 6 actors are listed as creation adult a film's cast: Beau Bridges, George Clooney, Robert Forster, Judy Greer, Matthew Lillard and Shailene Woodley.
Notably blank are Amara Miller and Nick Krause -- who, as Clooney's youngest daughter and as a tagalong crony of Woodley's, respectively, have significantly some-more shade time than Bridges, Forster, Greer and Lillard.
In Woody Allen's "Midnight in Paris," a omissions are even some-more glaring. If one is to decider by SAG's list of nominees, a expel includes Adrien Brody, who plays Salvador Dali, though not Corey Stoll, who plays Ernest Hemingway and is by distant a many talked-about and respected of a actors who play chronological figures. (San Francisco's film critics named him a year's best ancillary actor.)
Kathy Bates, who plays Gertrude Stein, is listed; Alison Pill and Tom Hiddleston, who play Zelda and F. Scott Fitzgerald, are not.
Michael Sheen creates a cut; Nina Arianda, who portrays his fiance and is onscreen probably each impulse that he is, doesn't.
Carla Bruni, a French initial lady who has a integrate of tiny scenes, is in; Mimi Kennedy and Kurt Fuller, vital players as Owen Wilson's impending in-laws, are out.
And it's not only that Stoll and Krause and Pill and a rest were only left off a list. If "The Descendants" wins, Matthew Lillard will get a glossy statuette, though Nick Krause will accept a certificate.
If "Midnight in Paris" triumphs, Brody gets hardware and Stoll gets a square of paper.
It doesn't feel right - not to a actors involved, not to outward observers, and infrequently not even to SAG officials.
"It's really frustrating for us," certified SAG Awards writer Kathy Connell to TheWrap. "But a kinship can't be in a position of determining who qualifies and who doesn't."
The guild's central manners outline that each actor who appears in a finish credits is deliberate a member of a expel -- though for a garb awards, "Motion Picture casts shall be represented by those actors billed on apart cards in a categorical titles, wherever those titles appear."
In other words, if you're a large adequate name to get your possess pretension card, afterwards we have a possibility to win a SAG endowment in a few scenes. But if you're not as good known, we can have a bigger purpose though not be invited to a party.
"At a beginning, we had to put in a sequence that would be really transparent to everyone," pronounced Connell, who combined that a garb difficulty was instituted 16 years ago.
"And that sequence had to concede filmmakers to make a call. How would it demeanour if we motionless that this actor should be in and this actor shouldn't?"
Directors and studios, she added, are good wakeful of a rule, and so have a ability to embody any actor they hold estimable by giving that actor an opening-credits card.
"We feel terrible about it sometimes," she said, "but we're not in control."
But is there a improved approach than restraining a assignment to opening credits, that are mostly a duty of negotiating clout? How about simply giving a executive or studio a number, and observant they can submit, say, 12 actors?
"That would be even some-more unfair," Connell said. "What if a 13th actor is really critical to a movie? At slightest underneath a system, we can always give that 13th actor a singular label if we consider he's important.
"We've had casts of 18, and casts of five. The approach we do it gives a filmmakers a event to confirm who is important."
In "Midnight in Paris," nobody -- not even star Owen Wilson -- has a solo pretension card.
As is Woody Allen's custom, a expel is listed not inpidually, though in groups. The initial label reads "Starring (in alphabetical order)," and lists Bates, Brody, Bruni, Marion Cotillard, Rachel McAdams, Sheen and Wilson. The second label is headed "Co-starring," and lists Arianda, Fuller, Hiddleston, Kennedy, Pill, Lea Seydoux and Stoll.
"In a past, Woody Allen has put 18 actors on dual cards in his opening credits, and listed them all alphabetically," pronounced Connell. "In that case, we would take all 18. But here, he distant a cards into 'Starring' and 'Co-starring,' so a choice seemed to have been done by Mr. Allen."
On a other hand, even Stoll and Krause and their cohorts are in improved figure than Jon Hamm, who creates a cameo coming in garb hopeful "Bridesmaids." Hamm always gets large laughs when he appears onscreen -- though it's an uncredited part, not even listed in a final credits. So if a film wins, he won't even get a certificate.
