At Wednesday's 20th Screen Actors Guild Awards nominations ceremony, AMC's Breaking Bad snagged the most nods in the television categories (four), while Steve McQueen's historical drama film 12 Years a Slave topped movie nominees (also four).

Netflix entered the fray this year for the first time with three nominations -- one for political thriller House of Cards (Kevin Spacey for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Television Movie or Miniseries) and two for Arrested Development (Jason Bateman for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Comedy Series and the cast for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series).

The SAG Awards, which will broadcast live Jan. 18 at 8 p.m. ET on TNT, TBS and online, honors motion picture and TV performances as voted on by peers.

At last year's ceremony, Hugh Jackman and Anne Hathaway memorably used their airtime to give a modern-day synopsis of Les Misérables: "Wolverine is being chased by Gladiator; Catwoman gets knocked up and, for some ungodly reason, goes to see Bellatrix Lestrange from Harry Potter and Borat," they quipped. "And Wolverine agrees to raise Catwoman's baby. And she grows up to star in Mamma Mia."

Take a look at the full list of nominees below:
