LOS ANGELES, Dec. 12 (Xinhua) -- Bio-pic "Lincoln," musical "Les Miserables" and romantic comedy "Silver Linings Playbook" dominated nominations Wednesday for the 19th Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards with four nods each.

On the television front, the constant contender and winner ABC comedy "Modern Family" finished as the top nominee with four mentions, while others including "30 Rock," "The Big Bang Theory," "Glee," "Nurse Jackie" and "The Office" also made their way into the pack.

Ben Affleck's political thriller "Argo" and British comedy-drama film "The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel" also joined "Lincoln," "Les Miserables" and "Silver Linings Playbook" to vie for best ensemble cast, which is regarded as the top honor at the annual event and one of the most accurate precursors for the best picture of Academy Awards.
