The film — which stars Michael Keaton as a washed-up superhero film star trying to revive his career on the stage — won seven nods for the Globes, a day after topping the list for the key Screen Actors Guild awards.

Tied for second in the nominations tally were coming-of-age drama "Boyhood" and Nazi code-breaking thriller "The Imitation Game" with five each.

The best motion picture drama nominees for the Globes, which will be handed out on January 11 in Beverly Hills, are "Boyhood," "Foxcatcher," "The Imitation Game," "Selma" and "The Theory of Everything."

In the race for best comedy or musical film are "Birdman," "The Grand Budapest Hotel," "Into the Woods," "Pride" and "St Vincent."

Keaton also had a best comedy/musical actor nomination for "Birdman."

In the drama categories, best actor nominees are Steve Carell ("Foxcatcher"), Benedict Cumberbatch ("The Imitation Game"), Jake Gyllenhaal ("Nightcrawler"), David Oyelowo ("Selma") and Eddie Redmayne for "The Theory of Everything."

Jennifer Aniston is up for best drama actress for "Cake" against Felicity Jones ("The Theory of Everything"), Moore ("Still Alice"), Rosamund Pike ("Gone Girl") and Reese Witherspoon in "Wild."

On the small screen, "Fargo" took the most nominations with five.
