SAG Award description: Confirmed by SAG[edit]

Hi I work in entertainment marketing and we're about to launch a marketing campaign for Money Monster. While doing some research. I noticed one small discrepancy. On the "Awards and nominations" section it states: "and was nominated for an Academy Award, BAFTA Award, Satellite Award, and two Screen Actors Guild Awards: Best Lead Actor and Best Cast".

This statement is misleading. Evidently, the cast of ER has won Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series on multiple occasions. Whereas, he's only been nominated for "Male in a Drama series" and never won.

Please differentiate between his wins and his losses.

Thank you and Mahalo TS

Council on Foreign Relations[edit]

Infobox says "Board member of" for Council on Foreign Relations. This seems to overstate his membership. As noted at the end of the summary:

> ...Clooney is also a member of the Council on Foreign Relations.[11]

Council on Foreign Relations lists the board members, and does not list George Clooney.
