Predicting Oscars Best Picture in an Unpredictable Year.
Thus, 2015s Oscar race will likely be decided the same way every race is decided now since Oscar pushed its date back a month: only films that come out around or during Telluride/Toronto have a shot at the win. The other thing that happened. If Richard Linklater wins the DGA, which he should, then you are still possibly looking at a split between Birdman and Boyood (though if Linklater wins the DGA Ill stick with Boyhood for the BP win). Boyhoods editing win��.
2015 Oscar Predictions: Best Picture | Indiewire

Boyhood was sailing pretty smoothly for a while there -- winning buckets of critics group prizes and the Golden Globe for Best Motion Picture - Drama. But it..

A Birdman Takes Flight in an Unpredictable Season
The foreign-born directors have now completely squeezed out the Americans ��� if Inarritu wins this year that will make the fifth straight year for a non-American born director winning the top prize at the Oscars.. If I had a vote it would go unquestionably to Boyhood because I dont think film awards should be about like something or even loving something ��� they should be about something more than that, what we talk about when we talk about ���the highest achievement��.
The Industrys Full Embrace of Birdman only a Matter of Time
Well never know if everyone thought Birdman would win coming out of Telluride, or if the Globes and the Critics Choice had picked Birdman, thrusting it into the spotlight as ���the frontrunner��� whether it would still be a done deal. Somehow, Birdman became the little movie that could that industry voters liked and Boyhood became the MEAN OLD FRONTRUNNER easily taken down as multitudes of men chanted quietly, to each other, ���if you take out the 12 years thing it��.
Birdman, Breaking Bad, Fargo win 2015 PGA Awards - HitFix
It means, clearly, Birdman could well be poised to take the Best Picture Oscar next month. I, for one. In Contention, Boyhood, The Imitation Game, American Sniper, PGA Awards 2015, Oscars 2015... The dominant memories of the past, lets not forget, are often those shaped by victors.. Ill be unhappy if The Imitation Game, The Theory of Everything, or American Sniper win, because that rewards the trite over the unique, and the world doesnt need more of that.

Birdman Takes the Producers Guild in a Surprise | Awards.
This could mean Birdman is the new frontrunner to take the Oscar ��� and if Inarritu wins Best Director that will make the fifth straight year Best Director went to a foreign born director... If even that does not happen, it would be a year to forget.. feel so strongly about Boyhood. I know, thats emotion. But I believe it to be a timeless film; rendered with brilliance and subtlety. Like you say, Sasha, its a film that doesnt come around very often. Well shall see what happens.
Oscar Nomination Snubs: Biggest Surprises Of The 2015.
Amy Adams ��� Well, looks like that Golden Globe win on the weekend for her Big Eyes role didnt get a second coat from Oscar..

Oscar Prediction 2015 | Thompson on Hollywood - Indiewire
Boyhood. Going into the season, only a handful of pre-fall movies had Oscar potential; critics and guild groups kept them in the conversation over the long haul. They include Wes Andersons well-wrought hit Grand Budapest Hotel,. Keaton won the comedy Globe and Critics Choice Award, and Birdman scored the Guild trifecta with wins at SAG (ensemble), PGA and DGA.. We dont want to suddenly forget why we expanded to 10 nominations in the first place.

Boyhood wont be winning any major awards at the Oscars this year. Oh, well. I feel silly for even thinking that the Academy could get it right in the first place. Boyhood will just be... Boyhood wins Directing (I mean it has to win something major right?)��.
The State of the Race: Oscar, The Auteur and the.
Its easy to forget our social bonds hold the whole game together.. That this year has been such a hard Oscar year, with so many disappointments, ending it with a celebration that the auteur is alive and well in American film is not a bad way to go... February 3, 2015. Would also add that Birdman doesnt really appear to have a ton of below the line support to propel it over the top. Budapest will win the art awards and what does that leave Birdman? Assuming no��.
Imitation Game, Grand Budapest Hotel, Olive Kitteridge win.
February 14, 2015. Was hoping Boyhood to pull an upset, oh well. Lets hope for an upset at the Oscars,,,,. All this means, I think, is that Boyhood is now just a true underdog and will win a la Argo.. So long Boyhood! It would be 30 years since a film has won PGA, DGA, and SAG and lost, as well as the storied missing Editing nom. Adios, Birdman! Come along for the win on Budapest, which just keeps picking up awards right and left... And lets not forget the KEATON!
The State of the Race: Boyhood is Honored in England.
That Birdman lost the Golden Globe, doesnt have an editing nomination and lost the BAFTA does not seem to make it the strongest Best Picture contender.. 2013 ��� 12 Years a Slave PGA/BAFTA/Oscar. But here we have: 2014 ��� Birdman: PGA/DGA/SAG Boyhood ��� BAFTA. You can go back further if youd like ��� and youll find the only year where a film didnt win any BAFTAs and won Best Picture was The Departed,. That doesnt mean Best Director will follow.
Best Picture: Boyhood, Birdman and The Imitation Game.
January 22, 2015. Weisntein can work magic, history has shown. But he doesnt win every time, otherwise hed have a BP winner every year that hes in the business. Hes gotta have the right vehicle for his wizardry to take effect. Shakespeare in. Denver Johnson. January 22, 2015. I still think Grand Budapest Hotel is more of a threat than either Imitation Game or Birdman. 11 Oscar nominations, a well respected director, a Golden Globes win, lots of guild support.
Birdman, Boyhood, Nightcrawler and Selma top 2015 Film.
I think its exciting that well get to see a BP lineup that has Birdman, Boyhood, and Selma, so well get to see which one wins, but too bad they wont announce the winners until just before the Oscars. But still. Also, lets not forget that whether or not a film gets nominated or snubbed here by no means spells its chances for Oscar.. If eligibility doesnt matter on whether a movie or performance took a hit or not, then Interstellar and Nolan took a hit too, didnt they?
Oscars: The Imitation Game Finally Plays the Gay Card.
Such gestures are well intentioned, calculated to use a movie to raise awareness about a social issue, but theyre also designed to translate the urge to do something about that issue into Oscar support.
