The Heath Ledger Oscar moment seems ever closer.

The late Dark Knight star earned the near-mandatory Screen Actors Guild nomination as the field for the 15th Annual SAG Awards was revealed this morning.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie were among the other top film nominees.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Doubt, Frost/Nixon, Milk and Slumdog Millionaire will vie for SAG's equivalent of Oscar's Best Picture honor: Best Ensemble, Film. Doubt leads all nominees, with five nods.

The Dark Knight's cast, Leonardo DiCaprio and Clint Eastwood were among the snubbed.

Ledger was nominated in the supporting actor category; Pitt and Jolie as best leads, for Benjamin Button and Changeling, respectively.

On the television side, 30 Rock, John Adams, Mad Men and The Closer scored a leading three nominations apiece.

Individually, actress Taraji P. Henson led the formidable pack with three nominations, two for her work in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and one as a member of the Boston Legal ensemble.
