Oscar buzz is in the air as SAG-AFTRA has announced the nominees for the 31st annual SAG Awards. The awards are often a predictor of success at the Oscars. Over the last decade, 33 of the 40 SAG winners in motion picture categories went on to win big at the Academy Awards. Only in one of those years did the eventual Oscar winner not even get a nomination – Regina King for her performance in "If Beale Street Could Talk."

This year, "Wicked" earned five nominations, more than any other film. "A Complete Unknown" is right behind with four nods. The adaptation of the Broadway smash wins out by earning a nomination for Outstanding Action Performance by a Stunt Ensemble in a Motion Picture, a category out of reach for the Bob Dylan biopic.

Cynthia Erivo, who plays the future Wicked Witch of the West Elphaba, earned a nomination for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Leading Role. Jonathan Bailey is vying for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Supporting Role for his performance as her love interest Fiyero. Ariana Grande also earned a nomination for playing Glinda, the future Good Witch of the North. The entire cast will compete for the night's top prize, Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture.

Also competing for the night's top prize is "A Complete Unknown," which additionally earned nominations for lead actor Timothée Chalamet, supporting actor Edward Norton, and supporting actress Monica Barbaro.

Other films earning multiple nominations include "Anora" and "Emilia Pérez" with three, and "Conclave" and "The Last Showgirl" with two. Recent Golden Globe winners Adrien Brody ("The Brutalist") and Demi Moore ("The Substance") will compete again in the lead acting categories, while Kieran Culkin ("A Real Pain") and Zoe Saldaña ("Emilia Pérez") will try to win once more in the supporting categories.

The SAG Awards tend to be less of an indicator of success at the Primetime Emmy Awards, though every winner from the recent Golden Globes is competing again, some in different categories pitting winners against other winners.

FX on Hulu's historical drama "Shōgun" is leading the way with five nominations. The streaming network's restaurant dramedy "The Bear" is right behind with four. Again, the difference comes down to the stunt ensemble category, with "Shōgun" earning a nod for its intricate stunt work.

"Shōgun" earned two nominations for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Drama Series. Hiroyuki Sanada and Tadanobu Asano, who both recently won Golden Globes (Sanada as a lead and Asano in a supporting role), will compete against each other for the big prize. Their co-Anna Sawai, who also won a Golden Globe earlier this month, will compete as the female lead of the show. The series is also up for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series.

"The Bear" dominates the comedy categories, with recent Golden Globe winner Jeremy Allen White once again competing for his lead role as the traumatized chef "Carmy" Berzatto. His co-stars Liza Colón-Zayas and Ayo Edebiri will go head to head as lead actresses in a comedy. The entire cast is vying to win Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series.

Also in the running for its ensemble cast is the Max comedy "Hacks." Jean Smart has won the SAG Award for her leading role as comedienne Deborah Vance two years in a row. She has also won two Golden Globes and three Primetime Emmy Awards for the role.

In the limited series categories, Colin Farrell ("The Penguin") and Jodie Foster ("True Detective: Night Country") are looking to repeat their success at the Golden Globes. Foster will have to compete against Jessica Gunning, who recently won a Golden Globe for her supporting role as the crazed stalker Martha in Netflix's "Baby Reindeer." We are excited that Andrew Scott earned a nomination for his performance in the Netflix limited series "Ripley," which used Broadway Stages facilities for reshoots.

Two performers earned nominations in both television and motion picture categories. On top of competing for his performance in "Wicked," Jonathan Bailey is also in the running as part of the cast of "Bridgerton." Selena Gomez is nominated for her work in Emilia Pérez and as part of the cast of "Only Murders in the Building."

A veteran of both film and television will be honored with this year's Life Achievement Award — two-time Oscar winner and Primetime Emmy Award winner Jane Fonda.

Kristen Bell, who is nominated for her lead comedic performance in Netflix's "Nobody Wants This," will host the ceremony, which will stream live on Netflix on Sunday, February 23. Bell previously hosted the ceremony in 2018.
