Only one of those was for a motion picture. Four were for tv shows.
Other than Elba, the movie nominations for the SAG Awards were as lily white as the Oscars.
Elba's lack of a nomination probably had more to do with the fact that his movie was distributed by Netflix rather than one of the major studios than it had to do with his race. The Oscars are notorious for protecting the interests of the big studios.
