The Screen Actors Guild announced their annual award nominations this morning and the ABC sitcom "Modern Family" leads the TV category with five nods. Raleigh native Michael C. Hall (left) was nominated for his starring role in "Dexter." Hall won the SAG Award for playing serial killer Dexter Morgan in January 2010. "Dexter" was also nominated today for Best Drama Series Ensemble.
One glaring omission from the SAG list is Showtime's excellent new drama, "Homeland," which is filmed in Charlotte. Claire Danes are Damien Lewis are both terrific in that show. There's always next year.
The SAG Awards Show will be broadcast on January 29 on TBS and TNT.

I cannot believe he was better than Gustavo Fring himself, Giancarlo Esposito.
Suits isn't bad, but ... come on!
Wed, 12/14/2011 - 19:11 — brookecain (author)"Suits" is a show on USA, and it's not bad -- but it doesn't belong in the same category with these other shows and actors. If I remember correctly, last year's out-of-nowhere USA nomination was that chick on "Covert Affairs."
