Hanks, McConaughey, Bullock, Streep and more… best acting nominations from SAG announced

The Screen Actors Guild nominations, often a bellwether for the Oscar’s acting categories, are announced: `12 Years a Slave,’ `American Hustle,’ `August: Osage County,’ `Dallas Buyers Club’ and `Lee Daniels’ The Butler’ nab best pic equivalent.

The Screen Actors Guild, whose members make up the largest block of Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences voters, announced its 2013 nominations this morning. A traditional bellwether for the Oscars, this year's list is full of veteran winners and nominees, and also absent one conspicuous name: Robert Redford. Already the recipient of best actor kudos in several critics polls for his remarkable solo outing in All Is Lost, Redford didn't make the final five in the lead-role group. (Nor did Joaquin Phoenix, another contender in an almost solo outing, Her.) James Gandolfini, who died in June, received a best supporting actor nomination for his work in Enough Said. The "Outstanding Performance by a Cast" nods, sort of SAG's equivalent of the best picture nominations, were for 12 Years a Slave, American Hustle, August: Osage County, Dallas Buyers Club and Lee Daniels' The Butler. Here's the complete list of film nominations (SAG also announced nominees in television categories):
