Birdman led the Screen Actors Guild Award nominations with four – one in almost every major acting category – including Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture.
SAG announced the nominations on Wednesday, awarding Birdman nominations for Michael Keaton, Edward Norton, Emma Stone and Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture.
Joining Keaton in the Oustanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Leading Role category are Steve Carell, whose dramatic performance in Foxcatcher has been generating major Oscar buzz, Jake Gyllenhaal (Nightcrawler), Eddie Redmayne (The Theory of Everything) and Benedict Cumberbatch, who is staring in The Imitation Game.
In addition to being nominated for his role in a feature film, Cumberbatch also nabbed a nomination for Oustanding Performance By A Male Actor in A Television Movie or Miniseries for his performance in BBC’s beloved Sherlock. Mark Ruffalo is also a double nominee, recognized for his supporting work in Foxcatcher and his lead role in HBO’s The Normal Heart.
Perhaps the most surprising nomination is for Jennifer Aniston, who is nominated for Oustanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Leading Role for her upcoming film, Cake.
