Only two days ago the Golden Globe nominations were announced. Now following in the footsteps for the upcoming major award season are the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards nominations. Thursday morning the announcement was made of all the nominees in the five categories for film and eight categories in primetime television by actors Rosario Dawson and Angie Harmon in West Hollywood. There are two other separate categories for Stunt Actors with each one in film and television. Ernest Borgnine will receive the Life Achievement Award.

Recap of Nominees

The films "King's Speech" and "Black Swan" received four nominations each. They each tied with the most nominations. It was nominated for Cast in a Motion Picture along with Male and Female Actors, Leading for Colin Firth and Natalie Portman. "The Fighter" also received four nominations that included Male and Female Actors, Supporting as well as for ensemble cast. Even though the western "True Grit" was completely snubbed at the Golden Globes it received two nominations for Jeff Bridges and newcomer Hailey Steinfeld.

Who was Left Out?

Lynch and Colfer have been nominated in the Comedy Series for Female and Male Actor. Mark Wahlberg received a surprising nomination at the Golden Globes for Best Actor - Drama.
