The Screen Actors Guild announced its nominees for the best performances in film and TV Wednesday morning. In the television categories, Game of Thrones, Homeland and House of Cards each picked up three nominations.
The SAG Awards honor the best in acting, with the top honor being for the entire ensemble. These awards also set themselves apart by combining lead and supporting performances for television into a single category.
For television, the nominees are largely the same usual suspects from last year. Mad Men made a strong comeback for its final season while newcomers like Mr. Robot‘s Rami Malek and Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt‘s Ellie Kemper earned nominations. Perhaps the biggest surprise is sketch show Key and Peele being nominated for Best Comedy Ensemble.
In the film categories, Trumbo is the only film to pick up three nominations. It’s worth noting that, last year, all four acting winners from the SAG Awards went on to win at the Oscars, with the winner for Best Ensemble also winning the Oscar for Best Picture.
The 22nd SAG Awards will air on TNT and TBS on Saturday, January 30 at 8pm ET/5pm PT. Here is a complete list of the nominees.
