Book-to-film adaptations continue to impress prize voters this season, as the nominations for the Screen Actors Guild Awards demonstrated. According to USA Today, Into the Wild, based on Jon Krakauer's book, "led all movies with four nominations, for Emile Hirsch, Hal Holbrook and Catherine Keener, as well as a nomination for outstanding performance by a cast, essentially the guild's best-picture award."
No Country for Old Men, adapted from the Cormac McCarthy novel, "landed nominations for Javier Bardem and Tommy Lee Jones, as well as a nomination for its cast."
Other adaptations earning nominations were Away From Her, A Mighty Heart and The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford.
The winners will be announced at SAG's awards ceremony, January 28.
