Smash hit musical Wicked has picked up the most nominations for the 31st Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards, including for best ensemble.

Cynthia Erivo, Ariana Grande and Jonathan Bailey also received nominations for best leading actress, best supporting actress and best supporting actor respectively, for their work on the film.

Recognition by the SAG has long been considered a bellwether for success at Oscars.

Aussie Cate Blanchett was among the nominees for best leading actress for a TV series or limited series.

But fellow Australian actress Nicole Kidman was snubbed for her work in Babygirl, as was Hollywood A-lister Angelina Jolie.

TV series Shōgun also scored five nominations, after similar success at the Emmys and Golden Globes.

But the wildfires sweeping Los Angeles up-ended events, causing a live nominations announcement event to be cancelled.

The list of winners was published by press release instead.

Here is the list of nominees across all categories.
