Breaking Bad, The Big Bang Theory, Modern Family, and 30 Rock lead SAG Television Nominees

Goodbye to Mad Men? Who knew SAG would drop this ensemble faster Sterling Cooper Draper et., all would drop Don himself.  The show did not receive a single nomination in a the drama categories.  Breaking Bad had the most drama nominations with 3, look for the show to win big although I predict a Kerry Washington win in Female Actor.

I should have stuck with my gut that Arrested Development would make it, but switched at the last minute.  Netflix scored 3 nominations today, one for Kevin Spacey, Jason, and the Arrested ensemble of course.

3 was also the pattern in the Comedy categories, 30 Rock, Modern Family, and The Big Bang Theory all received 3 nominations.  Watch out for Big Bang to steal 30 Rock's SAG thunder. My favorite nominations was for for Veep in ensemble.

I will echo that SAG always have the most boring television award nominees, and that trend continues, separate lead and supporting!
