Cate Blanchett is up for her 19th Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Award next month.

Nicole Kidman, who has been lapping up best actress nominations for her erotic thriller Babygirl, missed out on a nod.

However, not all was lost for the Aussies.

Hugo Weaving and Christopher Chung are among the cast of AppleTV+ series Slow Horses, which received a nomination in the Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series category.

Wicked topped the nominations list, landing five nods including Best Ensemble, as well as individual nods for Cynthia Erivo, Ariana Grande and Jonathan Bailey.

The smash hit musical saw its Oscar chances rise in the SAG nominations, which came the morning after the film was celebrated by the National Board of Review Awards in New York. Wicked even scored a nod for Best Stunt Ensemble.

The other nominees for Best Ensemble included Anora, Conclave, Emilia Pérez and A Complete Unknown.

It was an especially strong showing for Bob Dylan biopic A Complete Unknown, which came away with four nominations in total, including Timothée Chalamet for Best Male Actor and supporting nods for both Edward Norton and Monica Barbaro.

The SAG Awards are among the most closely watched Oscar bellwethers. Their picks don't always align exactly with those of the film academy, but they often do.

The last three Best Ensemble winners – Oppenheimer, Everything Everywhere All at Once, CODA – all went on to win Best Picture at the Academy Awards.

All but one of the SAG acting winners of the last three years has also won at the Oscars.

The sole exception was Lily Gladstone, who won SAG's award for female actor last year for Killers of the Flower Moon before the , but the Oscar trophy went to Emma Stone for Poor Things at the Oscars.

California's out-of-control wildfires forced a last minute change to proceedings, with SAG cancelling its plans to announce the nominations live on Wednesday morning (Thursday AEDT). The nominations were instead issued by press release.

As previously announced, Jane Fonda will be presented with SAG's Life Achievement Award during the ceremony, which will be held at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles on February 23.

Kristen Bell - who scored a nomination for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Comedy Series for Nobody Wants This - will be the host of this year's show, which will again be streamed live on Netflix.
