We knew Ana de Armas fans were serious, but WOW.

Such were the vagaries of the 29th annual Screen Actors Guild Award nominations, which were announced on Wednesday morning in a ramshackle Instagram Live presentation by Ashley Park and Haley Lu Richardson.In most cases, the 2,000-plus randomly-selected SAG members who made up the film and television nominating committees stuck to the favorites: Austin Butler, Colin Farrell, Brendan Fraser, Cate Blanchett and Michelle Yeoh in the lead categories, Brendan Gleeson, Ke Huy Quan, Angela Bassett, Kerry Condon, Jamie Lee Curtis and Stephanie Hsu in supporting and “Babylon,” “The Banshees of Inisherin,” Everything Everywhere All at Once,” “The Fabelmans” and “Women Talking” in the ensemble category.If there were surprises in the film categories, they were that a pair of Netflix stars, Sandler and de Armas, crashed the top five.
Blonde, de Armas kept her glam classic with a sleek blowout and a juicy red-pink lip. While promoting Blonde at the Venice Film Festival last year, de Armas paid subtle homage to Monroe, wearing often worn by Hollywood's most famous blonde.
