Before anyone freaks out Qwall wasn't eligible for Beasts of the Southern Wild. She didn't get snubbed like some people, okay?
ETA: by popular request added the TV nominees as well.

SAG Ensemble Award comprehensiveness evaluation:
Argo (A) - has pretty much everyone you'd expect to be here (Affleck, Goodman, Arkin, Cranston, Garber, the hostages). In a perfect world add Sheila Vand (Sahar, the Taylors' housekeeper), who has a pivotal bit in the film.
The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel (A-) - all the big names. Key absences being the two Indian actresses playing Sonny's mother and girlfriend, the kind of billing-related absences you'd expect from how this works.
Les Miserables (A) - drink for the other Friends of the ABC, but otherwise you've got all the important roles covered.
Lincoln (F) - every year there's at least one ensemble film that exposes the painful shortcomings of how actors are chosen for inclusion on these nomination lists, and this year that's Lincoln, whose behemoth ensemble is cut down to only Daniel Day-Lewis, Tommy Lee Jones, Sally Field, David Strathairn, Hal Holbrook, James Spader, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt. In a film with a screenplay noted for its terrific use of actors for one- or two-scene roles, this is utterly inadequate. By what logic is Spader included, but not John Hawkes or Tim Blake Nelson, the other thirds of the trio? Gloria Reuben? Lee Pace and Peter McRobbie? Jared Harris?
Silver Linings Playbook (?) - haven't seen this one yet, so I can't grade it. I notice the cast includes Julia Stiles, who isn't listed. Someone else care to offer an opinion on this one?
I'm happy for Bradley and Denzel but I'm forever bitter about Joaquin and Amy. They were the best parts of The Master for me and definitely deserved a nomination. PSH was good, but he didn't stand out to me the same way the others did.
