George Clooney's Up in the Air, which just received a Golden Globe nomination for best picture, was snubbed by SAG in the best ensemble category. Inglourious Basterds, Precious and Up in the Air earned the most nominations, with three a piece. Newcomer Gabourey Sidibe will be competing in the lead actress category for her role in Precious against Sandra Bullock, Carey Mulligan, Meryl Streep and Helen Mirren.
