Overall The Crown and Pop TV's Schitt's Creek led all shows with five nominations each.

Netflix also swept the best female actor in a drama series category, with The Crown’s Gillian Anderson, Olivia Colman and Emma Colman going up against Ozark’s Julia Garner and Laura Linney.

The best comedy series ensemble will feature Netflix’s Dead To Me along with HBO Max’s The Flight Attendant, Hulu’s The Great, Pop TV’s Schitt’s Creek and Apple TV+’s Ted Lasso.

HBO's I May Destroy You and Netflix's Dead To Me also drew SAG Awards nominations after being snubbed by the Golden Globes. 

On the motion picture front, Netflix dominated the best cast in a motion picture category with Spike Lee’s war drama Da 5 Bloods -- which was ignored by the Golden Globes -- Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom and The Trial of The Chicago 7 all getting nominations. Foreign-language film Minari and Amazon Prime’s One Night In Miami will also vie for top honors. 

Netflix drew 13 SAG Awards movie nominations, easily besting Amazon Studios' four  nods. 

The late Chadwick Boseman received two nominations for his lead acting role in Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom and supporting role in Da 5 Bloods in addition to nominations as part of both movie's ensemble casts.

The 27th annual SAG Awards will air live April 4 on TNT and TBS.
