December 12, 2018

“The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” continues its streak of accolades, picking up four nominations for 2019 Screen Actors Guild Awards including comedy ensemble, and individual nods for Alex Borstein and honorary Tribe members Rachel Brosnahan (who are both nominated for Female Actor in a Comedy Series) and Tony Shalhoub, who play the title character and her father. Included in the ensemble nomination are Jewish co-stars Michael Zegen, Kevin Pollak and Caroline Aaron.

“The Kominsky Method” is also competing in the TV comedy ensemble category, and its stars Michael Douglas and Alan Arkin were both singled out for outstanding actor nominations. So was Alison Brie of “Glow,” and the show’s ensemble, including Marc Maron and Jackie Tohn, received a nomination. “Barry” Emmy winner Henry Winkler picked up another acting nod, and the show’s ensemble—which includes Sarah Goldberg—was recognized.

On the TV drama side, “Ozark” was nominated for its ensemble, which includes Darren Goldstein, Jordana Spiro, Harris Yulin and Julia Garner, who was also singled out for an individual nomination.

In movies, individual nominees include Timothée Chalamet for “Beautiful Boy” and Rachel Weisz for “The Favourite.” Among the four nominations for “A Star is Born” is a nomination for its cast, including Andrew Dice Clay and Rafi Gavron.

Two stars were nominated for playing Jewish characters: Melissa McCarthy as Lee Israel in “Can You Ever Forgive Me?” and Adam Driver as Flip Zimmerman in “Blackkklansman,” which also landed an outstanding ensemble nomination.

The  25th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards will air live on TNT and TBS at 5 p.m. PT on Jan. 27.
