10 A-list movie stars who are getting awards attention for their work on TV shows

Movie stars don't have the kind of pull they used to in getting audiences into theaters, but they are making waves on TV.

As the divide between movies and TV continues to blur, and TV budgets balloon, more actors who have traditionally done movie work are moving from the big to small screen. And they're getting awards recognition for it.

This year's Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild award nominations highlight how many of these actors have made the jump and are competing for trophies.

Some of them, like Nicole Kidman and Reese Witherspoon, already have more TV shows on the way . Kidman will star in Hulu's "Nine Perfect Strangers" and Witherspoon will star in Hulu's "Little Fires Everywhere," on top of the second season of Apple's "The Morning Show."

Kidman and Witherspoon are also perfect examples of the kind of salaries A-list actors can demand for TV. They'll both be making at least $1 million per episode for those Hulu shows, some of the highest-paid actresses on TV.

We rounded up 10 A-list movie actors who got Golden Globe and SAG TV nominations this year. They're not necessarily new to TV, but they're known more for movies.
