American Sniper and Birdman really have no place in there, but Imitation Game?? that has to be a joke.

It's just there for padding. It's a shambles of a film from about halfway to the end.

[VinylGuy]

Weird to see Nolan is not there...Birdman best movie?


Im a big Whiplash fan; but im ok with boyhood winning.

[dimejinky99]

Boyhood should be a shoo-in...Only one I havent seen is Grand Budapest Hotel, and I've a feeling im not missing out.

Selma is ok I guess. Best film? not sure.

Redmayne deserves Best actor.

[VinylGuy]

oh and budapest? best movie???

[Alex]

birdman forever

[Jorge]

Oh, fuck Birdman.

[Alex]

birdman is the best movie i've ever seen

[Jorge]

Hanna-Barbera Birdman is great. Adult Swim Birdman is also good. Iñarritu Birdman is just... okay.

[Alex]

iñarritu birdman is the apex of human expression

[epilogue]

SETTLE DOWN

Birdman's not gonna win. Christ.

[Alex]

when i look at the sundry miracles of creation--the eyes of the innocent child, the blue fire of war, the silent sailing of a fallen leaf--i see birdman

[Kaius]

[Alex]

when i die and ascend to heaven, i will kneel to greet the creator humbly, and michael keaton will respond, "rise, child. i am no better than you. we are all birdmen here."

[Jorge]

I haven't seen Big Eyes but I'm kinda bummed for my girl Amy Lou.

Birdman or Budapest will never win, though they deserve to.

Oscars are for movies like Sniper or Selma or Imitation Game. They seem to get more conservative every year. At this point the Oscar bait formula is so predictable these movies are no better than summer blockbusters.

really want to see last days in vietnam

i am a complete wes anderson apologist, but even i don't understand why grand budapest hotel has received so much more acclaim than his other works

Seems people have a love/meh relationship with GBH. I'm on the love side.

[Chris_H_2]

i am a complete wes anderson apologist, but even i don't understand why grand budapest hotel has received so much more acclaim than his other works

probably because of the cast that more recognizable to most people
