SAG Award Nominations Go Big For Modern Family, Mad Men

Hot on the heels of the Golden Globe nominations from earlier this week, the Screen Actors Guild has announced their nominations for the outstanding performances and ensembles of the last television year. As usual there are some surprises, including a Best Comedy Ensemble nod for Hot in Cleveland (and an individual performance nod for Betty White on that show), some serious love for The Good Wife and The Closer, and finally a nomination for the Modern Family cast member who was overlooked at last year's Emmys, Pritchett family patriarch Ed O'Neill.

Check out the full list of nominations below (via SAG's official site), pause for a moment to wonder how on earth someone can pick between Steve Buscemi, Jon Hamm, Bryan Cranston and Michael C. Hall in the Male Actor/Drama series, and look for the winners during the SAG Awards ceremony, broadcast on TNT January 30.
