Emily Blunt, Carey Mulligan and Hannah Waddingham (pictured) lead the talent for this year’s nominations which were announced on Wednesday morning in Los Angeles, ahead of next month’s ceremony
She will compete against Annette Bening (Nyad), Lily Gladstone (Killers of the Flower Moon), Margot Robbie (Barbie) and Emma Stone (Poor Things).
Hannah is up for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Comedy Series for her role as businesswoman Rebecca Welton in Ted Lasso.
Other British stars up for a gong are Bel Powley, for A Small Light, and Brian Cox for Succession.
Last month, Hannah said she would never say goodbye to her iconic Ted Lasso character Rebecca Welton.
During the final season, which aired May, 31, 2023, TV buffs saw Hannah’s character start a family of her own with a Dutchman and his daughter.
Hannah told the Radio Times: ‘I don’t think I’ll ever say goodbye to her. It’s the first time I’ve ever been afforded the luxury of being really collaborative about a character.
‘Unless I play her again, she doesn’t exist any more and it’s like losing a pal.’
The Guild heaped praise on Oppenheimer, Barbie and American Fiction, while snubbing Leonardo DiCaprio for best actor for his role in Killers of the Flower Moon.

The nominees for the guild’s top award, best ensemble are: American Fiction, Barbie, The Color Purple, Killers of the Flower Moon and Oppenheimer.
Most notably left out of that group was Yorgos Lanthimos’ Poor Things, which on Sunday won best comedy/musical at the Golden Globes .
The film’s star, Emma Stone , was nominated for best actress while Willem Dafoe (but not Mark Ruffalo) was nominated for best supporting male actor.
But those were far from the only snubs.
Nominated for best actor were Bradley Cooper (Maestro), Colman Domingo (Rustin), Paul Giamatti (The Holdovers), Cillian Murphy (Oppenheimer) and Jeffrey Wright (American Fiction).
DiCaprio had long been seen as a presumed nominee for his performance in Martin Scorsese ‘s Killers of the Flower Moon.
Lily Gladstone was among the best actress nominees.
The nominations were announced Wednesday by Issa Rae , who co-starred in both Barbie and American Fiction, and Kumail Nanjiani on Instagram Live.
This year’s SAG Awards follow a grueling 118-day strike by the actors guild SAG-AFTRA that put Hollywood in a months-long battle over its future. Pay in the streaming era and artificial intelligence were top issues.
The SAG Awards are closely watched as an Oscar bellwether.
Their picks don’t always align exactly with those of the film academy, but seldom is a best-picture or acting winner not nominated first by SAG.
That means any best-picture hopes for films like Poor Things just took a hit.
The last two best-ensemble winners – Everything Everywhere All at Once and CODA – went on to win best picture at the Oscars.

In the television categories, the trio that nearly swept the Golden Globes – Succession, The Bear and Beef – were again among the lead nominees.
Ted Lasso and Barry also did well.
The SAG Awards will take place February 24 at the Shine Auditorium & Expo Hall in Los Angeles.
Netflix will live stream the ceremony for the first time. Last year’s awards were streamed on Netflix’s YouTube account.
The show will mark one of Netflix’s most notable forays into live programming. The streamer, which has for years been an awards season force, will first to play host, too, in the runup to the Academy Awards in March.
Barbra Streisand will receive the SAG Life Achievement Award.
