Nominations for the 21st Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards were announced Wednesday (Dec. 10) morning in 13 total categories, with eight of the categories going to television.
Premium cabler HBO led the nominees with 14 nods in their direction, up from last year's 13, including three ensemble nominations for Game of Thrones, Boardwalk Empire and Veep.
The network nearly dominated the entire male drama category, taking four out of the five nominations. Game of Thrones' Peter Dinklage and Boardwalk Empire's Steve Buscemi were nominated again, the latter for the final time, along with True Detective's Woody Harrelson and Matthew McConaughey. Kevin Spacey was also recognized for his work on Netflix's House of Cards.
Julia Louis-Dreyfus was nominated once more for her lead role in Veep. On the miniseries and television movie front, The Normal Heart and Olive Kitteridge brought HBO four nominations with acting nods for Heart's Mark Ruffalo and Julia Roberts and Kitteridges Richard Jenkins and Frances McDormand.
ABC's Modern Family led all television shows with acting nominations going to Ty Burrell, Eric Stonestreet and Julie Bowen as well as another for the comedy's ensemble cast. Boardwalk Empire, Game of Thrones and Homeland all received three nominations including one in stunt coordination. House of Cards also had three.
Orphan Black's Tatiana Maslany and How to Get Away With Murders Viola Davis are new to the female drama category and both elicited cheers from the crowd.
Nurse Jackie's Edie Falco continued to be the most nominated performer in SAG history, adding another nod in the comedy actress front- a category that included a tie and therefore six nominations.
