"Downton Abbey," the British drama series that airs on PBS, won the SAG Award for ensemble in a drama series at the 19th Screen Actors Guild Awards.
"Downton" is an international sensation, being the most-watched series on PBS in the U.S. and ITV in the U.K. It also received nominations for Michelle Dockery, who plays Lady Mary Crawley, and Maggie Smith, who plays the Dowager Countess of Grantham, both in the category of female actor in a drama series.

Gary Oldman nominated for Oscar (Wall Street Journal)
Gary Oldman called The Wall Street Journal from Berlin, where “Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy” premieres tonight, moments after he was nominated.
Congratulations on your Oscar nomination!
Thank you very much, thank you.
What’s your first reaction?
Well, I’m shocked really. I didn’t expect anything and obviously if you would have taken the temperature with SAG and the Golden Globes, we didn’t have high hopes for today. But it’s delightful. I guess it feels even more special in a way. At the moment I’m in Berlin for the premiere of “Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy” tonight, and of course it is where the Karla Trilogy concludes. It’s where Smiley gets his man, in Berlin, at the center of the Cold War. So it seems most appropriate to hear about the nomination for this movie while in Berlin. You couldn’t plan this if you wanted.
When you didn’t receive a SAG or Golden Globe nomination, were you disappointed?
You know, it’s disappointing for a couple of minutes, really. And then you just carry on doing what you’re doing and move on. I think other people were more disappointed for me. I could see they were more upset than me, and I just said okay, we’re moving on.
You told me you waited 30 years to play this role. Did you know it was going to be very special from the moment you read the script?
It’s an iconic creation, really, of [John] le Carre in modern 20th century literature. It has a pedigree that it comes with. So one is aware that one is playing an important part and indeed a part that was made so famous by Alec Guinness. It had its own whistles and bells. But with anything you do, you never ultimately know going into something whether you can pull it off or whether it will be successful. It’s a roll of the dice. And then you can as a company think or hope that you’ve got something special, and then there’s always the critics and the other missing component of course is the audience. You can stand there with a handful of good reviews, patting each other on the back, but you never know how it will perform at the box office. This one has amazed us all with how it’s been received.
This role is more quiet and understated than people often see of Best Actor Oscars. Is the Academy moving more toward that direction? George Clooney also had an understated role.
Yes, in The Descendants. What’s been encouraging to me has been the response to this film, which doesn’t in any way try to compete with some of the more racier, glamorous spy thrillers of recent years. It hearkens back to a sort of movie-making of the ‘60s and ‘70s. The fact that it’s such an understated film across the board and can make the noise it’s made is really encouraging. Maybe because it’s a movie that demands something of the audience when you watch it, and it’s an intelligent film and doesn’t undermine the smarts of the audience. It’s doubly nice being nominated for something that is quiet and understated.
This is your first Oscar nomination, which is hard for many to believe. How significant is it for you?
Well, I was beginning to think it may elude me. There’s definitely a strong fan base, that’s for sure. But I’m just a bit speechless, to be honest. I’m still a little in shock.
How are you going to celebrate in Berlin?
We have the premiere tonight, and we will probably have a dinner with the German distributors. Tomas Alfredson [the director] is here, and Robyn Slovo the producer, and my wife is here with me. We’ll have a little get-together later.

An Anglophenian View of the Sag Award Nominations: BBC America
Posted on Wednesday,
December 14th, 2011
So, the Screen Actor’s Guild have released the full details of their annual awards, with a whole heap of films and TV shows getting well-deserved slaps on the back for being generally fantastic and stuff.
But from our perspective, there’s a definite lack of something. In a world where it seemed fairly clear that British actors come over to the US to make themselves invaluable to your movies and TV shows, some people don’t appear to have made the cut.
Where, for example, is Benedict Cumberbatch? Is he already last year’s man for the original run of Sherlock, awaiting a nomination maybe this time next year for the sequels? Where’s Idris Elba? He definitely deserved a nod. Hugh Laurie already has enough awards, so we’ll scoot past him, but where’s Colin Firth? Surely he gets the nod just for being Colin Firth these days…
Congratulations are due, however, to Dame Maggie Smith, Emily Watson and Kate Winslet, who have all been nominated in the category that boasts the unwieldy name Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Television Movie or Miniseries. Dame Maggie for Downton Abbey, Emily for Appropriate Adult and Kate for Mildred Pierce. Solidarity, ladies!
Elsewhere, it’s slim pickings. Kenneth Branagh has been nominated for Best Male Supporting Actor in My Week With Marilyn, and Janet McTeer gets the female equivalent for her part in Albert Nobbs. There’s also a stunt nomination for the eighth Harry Potter film. And Tilda Swinton swooshes ahead of everyone else with her Best Actress nomination, for We Need To Talk About Kevin, but that is it.
Everything else, while a hallmark of astonishing quality, is resolutely un-British. It’s a swizz!
