Into the Wild may find its way into the Kodak Theater soon.

After getting the shaft at the Golden Globes last week, the Sean Penn-helmed coming-of-age drama picked up steam at the SAGs when the nominations for the 14th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards were announced.

The film leads the field with four nominations, including Best Ensemble, Lead Actor for Emile Hirsch, Supporting Actor for Hal Holbrook and Supporting Actress for Catherine Keener.

The cast will battle for the ensemble trophy against an eclectic lineup of flicks where only one of which — No Country for Old Men — has been singled out on best film shortlists. The other nominees are 3:10 to Yuma, American Gangster and Hairspray.

Getting the complete shaft were early favorites, love epic Atonement and the bloody musical Sweeney Todd.

Twenty-two-year-old Emile will compete against heavyweights, front runner Daniel Day-Lewis for There Will Be Blood, George Clooney for Michael Clayton, Ryan Gosling for Lars and the Real Girl and Viggo Mortensen for Eastern Promises.

Cate Blanchett had a stellar morning as well. The Oscar winner doubled her pleasure with two nods — Lead Actress for Elizabeth: The Golden Age and Supporting Actress for her turn as Bob Dylan in I’m Not There.

Against her in Lead are Away From Her’s Julie Christie, French actress Marion Cotillard for La Vie en Rose, Angelina Jolie for A Mighty Heart and breakout Juno star Ellen Page.

Cate’s Supporting competition includes the aforementioned Catherine Keener, Ruby Dee for American Gangster, Tilda Swinton for Michael Clayton and critical darling Amy Ryan for Gone Baby Gone.

Over on the TV side, The Sopranos earned one last award show hurrah, wrangling three nominations, including Drama Ensemble, Drama Actor for James Gandolfini and Drama Actress for Edie Falco.

The Sopranos cast will face off against the teams from Boston Legal, The Closer, newbie Mad Men and last year’s winner Grey’s Anatomy.

Tying the mob hit for three nods is the underappreciated 30 Rock, which picked up mentions for Comedy Ensemble, Comedy Actor for defending champion Alec Baldwin and Comedy Actress for Tina Fey.
