The pandemic award season of 2021 is on its way! On the heels of Golden Globes, the Screen Actors Guild has shared its roster of nominations. While “Minari” had a soft showing at the Globes, it surged back leading three SAG nominations alongside Netflix acting powerhouse “Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom.”
