In the movie categories, House of Gucci and The Power of the Dog lead with a total of three nominations each.
One of those for The Power of the Dog could see Australian actor Kodi Smit-McPhee also follow his Golden Globe, after he was being nominated in the Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Supporting Role category alongside Ben Affleck, Bradley Cooper and Troy Kotsur.

Cate Blanchett scored an Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Supporting Role nomination for her new Guillermo del Toro crime thriller Nightmare Alley.
Aussie actor Murray Bartlett scored a nomination for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Television Movie or Miniseries for his role as Armond in The White Lotus.
Other big names to score nominations include Will Smith for movie King Richard and Kate Winslet for mini-series Mare of Easttown.
Morning Wars co-stars Reese Witherspoon and Jennifer Aniston will battle it out for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Drama Series, against Snook.
Snook's co-stars Brian Cox, Kieran Culkin and Jeremy Strong will all go up against each other in the Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Drama Series.

Only Murders in the Building co-stars Steve Martin and Martin Short will battle it out against Jason Sudeikis and Michael Douglas for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Comedy Series.
However, Martin and Short's co-star, Selena Gomez, was among the snubs of the nominations. While the television nominations were slightly more predictable, there were a fair share of upsets, including Issa Rae failure to earn a nomination for her work in the critically acclaimed final season of Insecure.
Also overlooked in the movie categories was actress Kristen Stewart, who was considered to be a front runner for her shape-shifting turn as Princess Diana in Spencer, failed to earn a nomination.

King Richard standout Aunjanue Ellis and Belfast's Jamie Dornan were also snubbed.
At the same time, Ruth Negga, who has been largely overlooked for her subtle work in Passing by other awards bodies, scored a nomination for best supporting actress, while Bradley Cooper earned a nod for his fiery turn as producer Jon Peters in Licorice Pizza — a performance that was heavy on impact, but light on screen time.
The nominations were announced virtually by Vanessa Hudgens and Rosario Dawson but the award's show is set to return in person at the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica on Sunday, February 27 (Monday, February 28 AEDT).
This year's SAG Awards will also honour Helen Mirren with the lifetime achievement award.
