Kate Winslet and Evan Peters each earned Screen Actors Guild Award nominations for their respective performances in HBO's 'Mare of Easttown.'

The critical praise just keeps on coming for "Mare of Easttown."

The murder-mystery show was nominated Wednesday for four Screen Actors Guild Awards this year, three of which came in the major acting categories.

Kate Winslet and Jean Smart were each nominated for outstanding performance by a female actor in a television movie or limited series for their respective roles as detective Mare Sheehan and Sheehan's mother Helen Fahey.

Evan Peters's portrayal of detective Colin Zabel earned him a nomination for outstanding performance by a male actor in a television movie or limited series. "Mare of Easttown" was also nominated for outstanding action performance by a stunt ensemble in a television series.

Set and filmed in Philadelphia's western suburbs, "Mare of Easttown" tells the story of Winslet's character as she seeks to solve a murder and two missing persons cases while navigating through struggles in her personal life. The seven-episode series is available to stream on HBO Max.

The series won three Emmy Awards last year, two of which went to Winslet and Peters for outstanding lead actress and actor in a limited series.

The show also earned five Critics' Choice Award nominations last month, including for best limited series. Winslet was nominated for best actress in a limited series, while Peters and Smart have both been nominated for best supporting actor and actress.

Winslet has already captured three SAG Awards in her career, having won most recently in 2012 for her performance in "Mildred Pierce."

The British actress won the Golden Globe for best actress in a miniseries this past Sunday. She also earned a spot on Time Magazine's "100 Most Influential People" list in 2021.

After capturing the first Golden Globe of his career last weekend, Will Smith may finally earn his first SAG Award too. The West Philly native was nominated for outstanding performance by a male actor in a leading role for his portrayal of Richard Williams in "King Richard."

"King Richard" tells the story of Serena and Venus Williams' father, who served as a driving force for their success in professional tennis. The film was nominated for outstanding performance by a cast in a motion picture.

Bradley Cooper will be looking for the second SAG Award of his career after he was nominated for outstanding performance by a supporting actor for his role as Jon Peters in "Licorice Pizza." The Montgomery County native last won in 2014 for outstanding performance by a cast in a motion picture for "American Hustle."

Chester County native Adam McKay's new Netflix film "Don't Look Up" has been nominated for outstanding performance by a cast in a motion picture. Starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Jennifer Lawrence, Meryl Streep and Jonah Hill, the movie seeks to poke fun at how the world might possibly end someday. 

HBO's "Succession" and Apple TV+'s "Ted Lasso" led the way on the television side with five nominations each. The most film nominations this year went to Netflix's "The Power of the Dog" with three.

The 2022 Screen Actors Guild Awards will be held Feb. 27 in Santa Monica, California. The awards show will air at 8 p.m. on TNT and TBS. Below is a complete list of this year's nominees.
