"Glee" star Chris Colfer is up for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Comedy Series, and told ET of the nom, "Sometimes I take out my SAG card and just stare at it for large amounts of time. I'm completely shocked and honored! So happy for Jane [Lynch] and that our amazing cast was recognized too!" "Modern Family"'s Sofia Vergara, who is up for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Comedy Series, told ET, "It's such an honor to be recognized by my peers.

I am so grateful that I get to share this nomination with the rest of my incredibly talented cast." Valerie Bertinelli's show "Hot In Cleveland" was nominated for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series. She said of the honor, "Working on this show with Betty, Jane [Leeves] and Wendie [Malick] has been one of the best experiences of my life. It's a joy and a privilege to come to work everyday and I'm thrilled and honored that our cast, especially the brilliant Betty White has been recognized by the members of SAG." Geoffrey Rush is up for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Supporting Role and said of the honor, "As an actor you are excited, doubtful, obsessive, scared about what your craft and imagination can muster -- never knowing if the story of a fascinating but obscure corner of history will ever appeal to any audience... it seems that it does and to have the colleagues in your industry recognize the details of your work, it's overwhelmingly satisfying.” Meanwhile, John Goodman is nominated for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Television Movie or Miniseries for his role in HBO's movie "You Don’t Know Jack." He told ET, "This nomination is all the more special because it was created and bestowed by my fellows and fellowettes." The 17th annual SAG awards air January 30 on TNT and TBS.
