His nomination for playing Venus and Serena Williams ' father in King Richard comes days after he won The Best drama actor prize at The Golden Globes.

But there was less Good News for Kristen Stewart , who was surprisingly snubbed by the Screen Actors Guild.

Rachel Zegler's leading role in Steven Spielberg 's West Side Story remake was also omitted from the SAG nominations, despite critical acclaim and a Golden Globe victory at the weekend.

The SAG Awards, which are voted for by other actors, are seen As One of The Key Oscars precursors.

Since The Guild 's annual ceremony began in 1994, 105 out of 108 Oscar winners for acting have also scored a SAG nomination - Meaning Stewart and Zegler's exclusions from Wednesday's shortlists will be seen as a blow to their chances of getting their hands on an Oscar statuette in March.

The Film to have received perhaps The Most significant boost from SAG is Apple TV's Coda, about the hearing daughter of deaf parents who wants to become a singer.

British SAG nominees include Cumberbatch for The Power of The Dog , Andrew Garfield for Tick Tick . . Boom ! and Olivia Colman for The Lost Daughter .

Brits in the TV categories include Erivo, Kate Winslet (Mare of Easttown), Brian Cox (Succession) and Hannah Waddingham , Juno Temple and Brett Goldstein (all for Ted Lasso).
