'This means so much because it comes from my fellow actors.

'Lucille Ball may have never had a change to be nominated for a SAG award, as this will only be its 28th year in existence, but I'll happily accept this nomination in her honour,' she wrote.

Cate Blanchett is tipped to add another accolade to her extensive collection too with a SAG nomination for supporting role in crime thriller Nightmare Alley. 

Meanwhile, fellow Australian actors Sarah Snook, Cate Blanchett and Kodi Smit-McPhee have also received SAG nominations. 

This comes after the Australian's recently swept the board at the 2022 Golden Globes. 

National treasure Nicole took out the top prize at the annual awards ceremony, winning Best Actress in a Motion Picture for her portrayal of Lucille Ball in Being the Ricardos.

She was nominated alongside fellow Hollywood heavyweights Jessica Chastain (The Eyes of Tammy Faye), Olivia Colman (The Lost Daughter), Lady Gaga (House of Gucci) and Kristen Stewart (Spencer).  

Australian actress Sarah Snook also won a Golden Globe Award for her critically acclaimed role in HBO drama Succession.

The 34-year-old, who hails from Adelaide, won Best Supporting Actress in a Series for her portrayal of political strategist and media heir Siobhan 'Shiv' Roy.

She beat the likes of Jennifer Coolidge (The White Lotus), Hannah Waddingham (Ted Lasso), Kaitlyn Dever (Dopesick) and Andie MacDowell (Maid) in her category.

Her victory was announced at a private ceremony on Los Angeles on Monday, after this year's live broadcast was cancelled due to backlash over a lack of diversity in the nominations.

The Golden Globes is generally regarded as a good indicator of who will take home gold at the Academy Awards later in the year.

Several Aussies delivered the goods at the Golden Globes, with Kodi Smit-McPhee beating Ben Affleck to win Best Supporting Actor in any Motion Picture.

The up-and-coming actor was recognised for his incredible performance in western film The Power of the Dog. 

Sarah started out on the stage, appearing in King Lear with the State Theatre Company of South Australia in 2009, shortly after graduating from Australia's most prestigious theatre school, NIDA.

Interestingly, Succession has often been likened to a modern day Shakespeare play, specifically King Lear.
