How Could the SAG Awards Snub ‘Succession’ Eldest Boy Jeremy Strong?
SAG-AFTRA, respectfully, what the hell have you done?
On Wednesday morning, the actors guild released its nominations for the 30th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards, which included a predictably (correctly) long list of Succession stars. Absent from the menagerie, however, was perhaps the most obvious name of them all. How on Earth did Jeremy “almost jumped into the Hudson River for the art” Strong not make the cut? Do they not realize that he’s the eldest boy?!
Succession has never won an individual acting award, although its cast did win in the ensemble category in 2022—a nomination they’ve received once again this year. Sarah Snook, who gleefully accepted her first Golden Globe on Sunday night for Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Television Series, Drama, has received a SAG-AFTRA nod in the same category. Globe winners Kieran Culkin and Matthew MacFadyen also received SAG Award nominations, alongside Logan Roy himself, actor Brian Cox. But alas, Jeremy Strong is not in the mix this time.
