The hit Korean Netflix series is up for outstanding cast in a drama series opposite Succession, Yellowstone, The Morning Show and The Handmaid’s Tale. The show also picked up nominations for actor in a drama series (Lee Jung-jae), actress in a drama series (Jung Ho-yeon), and stunt ensemble. “As the director of Squid Game, today has to be the happiest moment. I am reminded of all the days spent on first meetings with the cast, the auditions, visiting theaters to see their performances, the script readings, rehearsals and the days on set,” creator Hwang Dong-hyuk said in a statement. “I want to truly thank not only the cast who have been nominated today but also all of the supporting and the near-300 background talent. Squid Game would never have been what it became without the devotion and hard work of every single one of you. You deserve all the glory and credit.” ALSO: SAG Awards marks Yellowstone's first major awards recognition.
