LOS ANGELES — “Boyhood” might be the darling of the critics’ awards, but when it came down to performances alone, the dark show-business comedy “Birdman” soared with a leading four Screen Actors Guild Award nominations, including best ensemble cast. Following with three nominations each were the coming-of-age tale “Boyhood,” the Alan Turing biopic “The Imitation Game,” and the Stephen Hawking story “The Theory of Everything.” Conspicuously absent from the SAG nominations were Ava DuVernay’s civil rights drama “Selma,” and Angelina Jolie’s POW film “Unbroken.” Wes Anderson’s candy-colored fable “The Grand Budapest Hotel” received a single nod for its large ensemble cast, including Norton and Adrien Brody, who also was nominated for History’s “Houdini.” Notably, Bennett Miller’s true-crime drama “Foxcatcher” was not singled out for its overall cast but recognized lead actor Steve Carell and supporting actor Mark Ruffalo. Lead actress film nominees joining Felicity Jones are Julianne Moore as an Alzheimer’s patient in “Still Alice”; Reese Witherspoon in the soul-searching drama “Wild”; Rosamund Pike as the missing wife in the thriller “Gone Girl”; and a dressed-down Jennifer Aniston in “Cake.” The SAG Awards will be presented Jan. 25, when Debbie Reynolds will be honored with a lifetime achievement award. Other ensemble comedy nominees include “The Big Bang Theory,” “Brooklyn Nine-Nine,” “Orange Is the New Black” and “Veep.”
