'Birdman' Leads 2015 Screen Actors Guild Awards Nominations, 'Selma' Snubbed

Some of the critics groups have given out their prizes already, but the race to the Oscar is just getting started. This morning Screen Actors Guild announced its list of nominees for the 2015 awards, with Birdman and House of Cards emerging as two big favorites.

For the most part they went as predicted, but there were also a few big surprises to keep us on our toes. Read the full list of 2015 Screen Actors Guild Awards nominations after the jump.

As widely predicted, The Theory of Everything and The Imitation Game put in great showings with 3 nominations each. But Birdman beat them both out with 4, and Boyhood did better than expected with 3. Outside of the films considered frontrunners for this awards season, Jake Gyllenhaal (Nightcrawler), Jennifer Aniston (Cake), and Naomi Watts (St. Vincent) also managed to snag some recognition.

Unfortunately, there wasn't room for everyone, and Selma got totally shut out. Also out of the running for the SAG are Unbroken, American Sniper, and A Most Violent Year. It's still possible they'll rally and go on to win big at the Oscar, but it'll be that much harder without a SAG nomination under their belts.Over in the TV categories, Modern Family proved the comedy to beat with 4 total nominations, while House of Cards netted 3 on the drama side. Neither Mad Men nor Girls got any attention, and The Knick failed to break through despite its pedigree. On the bright side, though, Tatiana Maslany finally got a little love for Orphan Black, and Orange Is the New Black picked up a Best Comedy Ensemble nod.Theatrical Motion PicturesOutstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Supporting Role in a Motion Picture
