George Clooney's new movie Up In The Air will compete for the top acting honours at the 2010 Screen Actors Guild Awards after landing three nominations for its leading stars.
Clooney, who plays a lonely travelling businessman, is nominated for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Leading Role, while his female co-stars Vera Farmiga and Anna Kendrick will go up against each other for the Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Supporting Role prize.
Up In The Air ties with director Quentin Tarantino's Inglorious Basterds and Precious with a total of three nominations.
Clooney will fight it out for the lead actor accolade with Morgan Freeman (Invictus), Jeff Bridges (Crazy Heart), Colin Firth (A Single Man) and Jeremy Renner (The Hurt Locker), while Farmiga and Kendrick are nominated alongside Diane Kruger (Inglourious Basterds), Penelope Cruz (Nine) and Mo'Nique (Precious).
However, Up In The Air was snubbed in the overall cast prize - instead, the stars of Nine, Inglourious Basterds and Precious will be among the contenders for the ensemble award.
Other nominees include Sandra Bullock (The Blind Side) and Meryl Streep (Julie & Julia) in the best actress category, while Matt Damon (Invictus) and Woody Harrelson (The Messenger) are up for the best supporting actor honour.
In the primetime TV categories, hit US comedy 30 Rock is leading the charge.
Tina Fey and her co-star Alec Baldwin are both up for Outstanding Performance in a Comedy Series honours in their respective categories, while the entire 30 Rock cast has been nominated for the ensemble comedy prize.
Kevin Bacon (Taking Chance), Cuba Gooding. Jr (Gifted Hands: The Ben Carson Story) and Jeremy Irons (Georgia O'Keeffe) will battle it out for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Television Movie or Miniseries, against Kevin Kline (Great Performances: Cyrano De Bergerac) and Tom Wilkinson (A Number).
Drew Barrymore's TV movie Grey Gardens has scored a double mention - the Hollywood star and her colleague Jessica Lange are both nominated for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Television Movie or Miniseries. They will compete against Sigourney Weaver (Prayers For Bobby), Ruby Dee (America) and Joan Allen (Georgie O'Keeffe).
Other primetime TV nominees Christina Applegate (Samantha Who?) and Edie Falco (Nurse Jackie) in the outstanding actress comedy category, Jon Hamm (Mad Men) and Hugh Laurie (House) for outstanding actor in a drama series, and Glenn Close (Damages) and Kyra Sedgwick (The Closer) for outstanding actress in a drama series.
The nominations were announced on Thursday morning by Michelle Monaghan and Chris O'Donnell and the prizegiving ceremony will take place on 23 January.
