Nothing got more of a boost from the actors guild than โBombshell,โ which tied โThe Irishmanโ and โOnce Upon a Time ... in Hollywoodโ with a co-leading four nominations. In best drama series ensemble, the actors nominated the casts of โBig Little Lies,โ โThe Crown," โGame of Thrones," โThe Handmaid's Taleโ and โStranger Things."
