In the film categories, A Complete Unknown garnered four nominations, with Anora and Emilia Pérez earning three apiece. The Last Showgirl earning two nominations tops the list of surprises, with Pamela Anderson up for lead actress and co-star Jamie Lee Curtis in supporting. With these SAG nominations, Anderson and Curtis strengthened their Oscar campaigns significantly.

Where to watch the 2023 SAG Awards
Ethan, Harper, Daphne, and Cameron walk out of their resort together in The White Lotus Season 2.

If the Golden Globes and the Oscars mark the beginning and the end of the 2023 awards season, respectively, then the SAG Awards are the unofficial middle. The SAGs are bestowed "by actors, for actors," as the voting body consists of members from the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA). The ceremony tends to predict how the rest of the awards season will turn out as many winners go on to win Oscars.

The 2023 SAG Awards will hand out trophies in both film and television. Everything Everywhere All at Once and The Banshees of Inisherin each received five SAG nominations, which ties the record for most nominations ever. For television, the final season of Ozark leads the field with four nominations.

The most surprising Emmy winners and nominations of all time

Movie and TV lovers often find award shows predictable, with the same people and shows winning time and time again. When there's a hit show (hello, Breaking Bad and Game of Thrones), it's usually a shoo-in for the win in its respective genre categories. The same goes for acting awards, like when Julia Louis-Dreyfus swept the Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series category six times in a row for her brilliant turn as Selina Meyer in Veep. The feisty VP earned her the record for the most Emmy acting wins for the same role (and tying with Cloris Leachman for the most acting Primetime Emmy wins -- Loius-Dreyfus has eight, including one for The New Adventures of Old Christine).

But every once in a while, an award show throws viewers for a loop. Along with plenty of surprising Oscar nominations and wins during the Academy Awards, the Emmys have also been known to shock viewers with some small-screen nominations and wins that seemingly come out of left field. Here, we take a look at a few that have stood out over the years.
