Box office behemoth "I Am Legend" and actresses Ruby Dee, Queen Latifah and Vanessa Williams all scored nominations from the 14th annual Screen Actors Guild awards, to be presented Jan. 27 in a ceremony televised on TNT and TBS.
On the film side, "Legend" is among the first movies to receive a nomination in the SAG awards' inaugural stunt ensemble category, which honors the year's best stunt teams. Veteran actress Ruby Dee was nominated for her work as the mother of Harlem drug lord Frank Lucas in "American Gangster."
In the television category, Latifah's performance in HBO's "Life Support" received a nod for best actress in a movie or miniseries, and Vanessa L. Williams was nominated best actress in a comedy series for her role as Wilhelmina Slater in ABC's "Ugly Betty."
Also, the cast of CBS' drama "The Unit," starring Dennis Haysbert as the leader of a top-secret military unit, was nominated in the stunt ensemble category for television.
Film and TV nominees were chosen by two groups of 2,100 people randomly chosen from the guild's 120,000 members. The guild's full membership is eligible to vote for winners.
Unlike the Academy Awards and the Golden Globes, which are currently in disarray due to the writers strike, the guild awards look as though they can go off as planned, the Associated Press reports. With actors showing strong solidarity on strike issues, SAG has reached an agreement with the Writers Guild of America for one of its members to write the ceremony.
