'Trumbo' leads Screen Actor nods; 'Joy', 'The Martian' snubbed

By Piya Sinha-Roy LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - "Trumbo," the movie about the 1947 Hollywood blacklist, led the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) nominations on Wednesday in a diverse field that hinted at likely Oscar contenders but snubbed presumed front-runners "The Martian" and new Jennifer Lawrence drama "Joy." "Trumbo," about a group of screenwriters and directors shunned for their associations to the Communist Party, earned three nominations, including the guild's top prize for best ensemble cast. Other nominees for best ensemble include Netflix African war drama "Beasts of No Nation," Wall Street comedy "The Big Short," Catholic Church abuse probe "Spotlight" and rap movie "Straight Outta Compton." Adam McKay, director of "The Big Short" said he was impressed by the range of topics covered by the nominations.
