We profile some of the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) award nominees for 2021, over 50.


The Screen Actors Guild Award nominees have been announced. With the winners set to be revealed at the virtual ceremony on April 4th, we’ve decided to take a look at a few of the over 50s in the running.


One standout nomination for her leading role performance is Viola Davis, 55, as Ma Rainey in ‘Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom’. Ma Rainey’s character is a renowned blues singer in 1920s Chicago who endures a less-than-lovely recording session. Viola stars alongside the late Chadwick Boseman in this 2020 film, for which he is posthumously also SAG nominated.

SAG award nominees for best performance in a drama series include Gillian Anderson, 52, for her portrayal of former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher in Netflix’s ‘The Crown’. GIllian is a Britsh-American actor with a long list of beloved character roles under her belt, such as; FBI Agent Dana Scully in ‘The X-Files’, Jean Milburn in Netflix’s ‘Sex Education’, and DSU Stella Gibson in ‘The Fall’, which she starred in alongside Jamie Dornan.


Laura Linney, 57, and Jason Bateman, 52, are nominated in the same genre category for their roles as the criminal husband and wife duo in ‘Ozark’.


The other on-screen couple hoping to be awarded are Hugh Grant, 60, and Nicole Kidman, 53, in the miniseries category for ‘The Undoing’. Their competition, however, includes Cate Blanchet, 51, for her work as the conservative anti-feminist Phylis Schlafly in ‘Mrs America’, which is based on true events.
