When it comes to major award shows like tonight’s Screen Actors Guild Awards (SAG), most of the nominees make it to the award show. After all, even if they might not win, it is indeed “an honor to be nominated.”
With that said, however, a few of our favorite actors decided to skip tonight’s star-studded event. Among them is Alisson Janney, who was nominated for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Drama Series for her role as Grace in The Diplomat, Jonathan Bailey, who was nominated in the Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Supporting Role category for his role in Wicked and Jeff Bridges, who was nominated for his role in The Old Man in the Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Drama Series category.
Check the full list of nominees who skipped the award show below.
