The 2024 Screen Actors Guild Award nominations are dominated by double-blockbuster behemoth Barbenheimer.

Barbie and Oppenheimer received a leading four nods for the 30th year of the event after the two movies ruled last year's box office.

The two films are up for the guild's top award of best ensemble alongside Martin Scorsese's Killers of the Flower Moon, American Fiction and The Color Purple.

On the TV front, Succession dominated with a leading five nominations for its final season — which was closely followed by Ted Lasso, The Bear and The Last of Us, which has four nominations for the event.

Among the nominations for Succession starring Brian Cox and Kieran Culkin is Best Ensemble.

The Best TV Comedy Ensemble will be a race between The Bear, Ted Lasso, Only Murders in the Building, Abbott Elementary and hitman drama Barry.

Warner Bros Discovery earned the most nominations of any media or technology company, receiving 20 for its films and shows — a group that includes The Last of Us, Succession and Barbie.

It was followed by Netflix, with 12 nominations and Apple with 11.

The awards will celebrate performances in films and shows released during one of the stormiest years in history for the union as it saw its members grind Hollywood to a standstill with a series of strikes.

Last year, for instance, the four performers who won SAG awards — Brendan Fraser, Michelle Yeoh, Ke Huy Quan and Jamie Lee Curtis — went on to capture Oscars for their work.

Since its inception in 1995, only four movies have won Best Picture at the Oscars without receiving a nomination from SAG for cast ensemble.

Oppenheimer star Cillian Murphy, who plays physicist J Robert Oppenheimer in the Christopher Nolan epic, has been was nominated for Best Leading Actor, alongside Paul Giamatti for his role as a washed up teacher in The Holdovers.

Best Leading Actress in a Motion Picture will be a race between frontrunners Lily Gladstone, who plays an Osage woman at the centre of a murderous conspiracy in Killers of the Flower Moon, and Emma Stone, portraying a woman who embarks on a journey of sexual discovery in Poor Things.

But Leonardo DiCaprio was overlooked for his starring role in Killers of the Flower Moon, while one of 2023's most acclaimed films May December, starring Natalie Portman and Julianne Moore, was shut out.

The 30th annual Screen Actors Guild Awards ceremony will stream live globally on Netflix for the first time this year on February 24.
