The Screen Actors Guild Award nominations were announced Monday, with Sean Penn's adaptation of Jon Krakauer's book Into the Wild leading the nomination totals with four. Star Emile Hirsch is nominated in the Best Actor category, his first nomination. Hal Holbrook and Catherine Keener are nominated for their supporting roles, and the entire cast was nominated in the Ensemble category.

Cate Blanchett is nominated twice -- as Best Actress for her portrayal of Queen Elizabeth I in Elizabeth: The Golden Age, and as Best Supporting Actress for her portrayal of Bob Dylan in Todd Haynes' innovative I'm Not There. She has now compiled 11 SAG nominations in her career.

In the Ensemble category, Into the Wild is up against 3:10 to Yuma, American Gangster, Hairspray, and No Country for Old Men.

As with the other creative guild-given awards, SAG has a waiver from WGA to use that union's writers for its awards show. The SAG Awards will be broadcast on cable channels TNT and TBS on Jan. 27.
