Meanwhile, dramas Boyhood and The Imitation Game trailed with five nods apiece.
Those two films led a Best Drama category that also included Foxcatcher, Selma and The Theory of Everything.
David
Fincher's thriller Gone Girl earned an impressive four nods, including
Best Actress in a drama for Rosamund Pike, Best Score, Best Screenplay
and Best Director.
British
star Rosamund - who won widespread acclaim for her part as Amazing Amy
in the movie - will have to compete with Jennifer Aniston for Cake,
Reese Witherspoon for Wild, Julianne Moore for Still Alice and Felicity
Jones for The Theory Of Everything.
Taking the lead: Michael Keaton's
drama Birdman, about a washed-up Hollywood actor who once played the
superhero Birdman, has been nominated seven awards
Marion Cotillard, who has won many critics awards for her leading role in Two Days, One Night has been snubbed in the category.
Selma - starring Oprah Winfrey and David Oyelowo - had been ignored at the Screen Actor's Guild nominations a day earlier.
In
the Best Picture, comedy or musical, category, Birdman was joined by
St. Vincent, Grand Budapest Hotel, Into the Woods and — in a surprise —
the independent British film Pride.
Strong category: Rosamund Pike's
thrilling performance in Gone Girl has been recognized in the Best
Performance by an actress in a motion picture (Drama)

in the supporting actress category for her role in A Most Violent Year.
However, she will have to battle it out in that category with Patricia Arquette who has been also nominated for Boyhood.
