Fresh from its wins at the Golden Globes, Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer on has topped the nominations for the influential Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards, which are key to Oscars success.

The SAG Awards, voted on by Hollywood actors, are likely to enjoy a profile boost of their own this year as they are broadcast globally on Netflix – an awards show first for the world’s biggest streaming platform.

Oppenheimer, which tells the story of the inventor of the atomic bomb, earned nominations for Cillian Murphy, Robert Downey Jnr and Emily Blunt, as well as “outstanding performance by a cast” – the SAG Awards’ top prize.
Nolan’s three-hour epic, which earned nearly US$1 billion and received rave reviews from critics, is rapidly becoming the clear favourite for the Academy Awards in March.

Barbie – the other half of last summer’s “Barbenheimer” box office phenomenon, and the year’s highest grossing film – picked up nominations for Margot Robbie, Ryan Gosling and overall cast.
