Birdman leads SAG nominations

There are career-first nods for Norton — who arrived in style with an individual nomination for Fox Searchlight/New Regency’s Birdman and ensemble recognition for Birdman and Fox Searchlight’s The Grand Budapest Hotel — as well as for Jones, Keira Knightley and TV’s Uzo Aduba, Maggie Gyllenhaal and Tatiana Maslany.

Focus Features’ The Theory of Everything earned three for Redmayne, Jones and ensemble; IFC Films’ Boyhood garnered three for Patricia Arquette, Ethan Hawke and ensemble; and The Weinstein Company/Black Bear’s The Imitation Game earned three for Cumberbatch, Knightley and ensemble.

Cumberbatch is also in contention for his individual work in Sherlock: His Last Vow, broadcast in the US by PBS.

SPC’s Foxcatcher generated nods for Steve Carell and Marc Ruffalo, although Channing Tatum was left out. Jennifer Aniston made the cut for Cinelou Films’ Cake, possibly at the expense of Hilary Swank for The Homesman.
