The 11th annual Screen Actors Guild awards airs live on TNT Saturday February 5th. Unlike other awards shows this one in particular caters to the actors. It is a show for the actors by the actors voted on by actors. From the “Dude, you’re getting a Dell” guy to Robert DeNiro, anyone in the guild can vote for who ever they see fit.

The nominations have just been announced and below are some of the key favorites to snag a nod for the most coveted of trophies....the Oscar. Like last year, some won't have a chance at making it to the Academy Awards, but those happy little surprises are ever so nice when you don't expect them. Scroll down to view the list of nominees.
