I need to catch up, because out of all the Best Picture nominees, Birdman and The Grand Budapest Hotel are the only two films I've seen.

I'm rooting for Keaton to win Best Actor, because if he does, it's the start of a good comeback story. Emma Stone did a good in Birdman, she showed some believable emotions, and it's the best performance in her career, but I don't know if I'd go as far as Oscar worthy.

I'm happy to see Big Hero 6 made the cut for Best Animated Feature Film, but Jake Gyllenhaal is one of the more noticeable snubs for me. Gyllenhaal was outstanding in Nightcrawler, and going by the trailers and reviews, I'm not surprised to see Cumberbatch and Redmayne's names on the list, so I'm wondering is Bradley Cooper really that good in American Sniper?

Any thoughts on the nominees or any snubs?

 

[Jack-Hammer]

I'm surprised Gyllenhaal didn't get nominated. People have been raving about his performance in Nightcrawler. I was also surprised that Kiera Knightley didn't get nominated as she's also gotten a lotta praise for The Imitation Game.

Bradley Cooper was great as Chris Kyle in American Sniper. The guy's a war hero, but I love the fact that he's not made out to be some sort of super soldier that the war hasn't really had an effect on. It's a sad movie really, when you consider how it ended and the toll that being a soldier and being the most proficient sniper in U.S. military history took on him. It's really an uplifting film like Unbroken was earlier this year, it's more about how much of a toll the war has taken on American G.I.'s as a whole with Kyle emphasizing just how difficult.

Robert Duvall has been one of my favorite actors for a really long time and I was glad to see him get nominated for The Judge. The Best Supporting Actor category is wide open and I can't really complain about any of the nominees. Most of these actors aren't huge box office draws, though it's definitely unusual to see Steve Carell nominated because I'm just so used to him being in comedic roles.

No surprise that Meryl Streep was nominated as the woman gets nominated for something every time she has a bowel movement.

 

[Y 2 Jake]

- no nomination for Channing Tatum in Foxcatcher?
- Carell will win in what I thought was a good performance but very gimmicky
- Streep is like The Undertaker at Mania. There when she shouldn't be
- Boyhood will win best film. But why?
- wasn't much for Birdman, but I'm rooting for Keaton
- no major nominations for Nightcrawler?
- how dare they ignore Pride.
- I bet Nolan is surprised he didn't get a nomination for Interstellar. He shouldn't be.

 

[Mighty NorCal]

I am WAY fucking lost on all the American Sniper love.

Dull movie that in no way stuck to the source material....Almost to a point were it is insulting. You turned real life trauma into an utterly silly storyline that wouldn't be believable in the fucking WWE, let alone something supposedly based on true events.


And Cooper for best actor? For fucking what? Talking with an accent? Showing almost no range of emotion whatsoever?

The film and his performance were about as paint-by-numbers as it gets. I don't get it.

 

[Dowdsy McDowds]

I really want to see Boyhood.

Richard Linklater is a director who has quite an eclectic collection of films (Dazed and Confused, School of Rock, A Scanner Darkly) and although started off by self-funding his films like Rodriguez and Smith, he has been able to climb the ladder by dipping his toes into many different genres and producing some excellent films. Patricia Arquette is someone I will always have a soft spot for after seeing her in True Romance and Ethan Hawke just seems like a really cool dude so I hope Boyhood does really well.

I saw Birdman on Wednesday and although I was sitting in the 3rd row from the front (not my choice) I really enjoyed the film. Like, really enjoyed it. The long takes were distracting at the start as I was conciously looking out for where the cuts could be but after convincing myself to just stop looking and start watching, I loved the story and the characters involved. Admittedly for the first half of the film I struggled to see why Keaton would be nominated for so many awards. Don't get me wrong, he puts in a fine performance but nothing obviously award worthy. Once the second half begins, its pretty much the Keaton show and with good reason. The central theme of his past, as Birdman and the fame and fortune that brought which harmed his other relationships, was brilliantly brought into the central story and seeing his character struggle with all the different perceptions of himself was very engaging.

TLDR; Keaton is a fucking boss.

 

[Phoenix]

I think the Best Actor category is a tough one to call. Carell put in a great performance in "Foxcatcher" (I didn't even realise he was in the film until I saw the credits), Cumberbatch was superb in "The Imitation Game", and I've heard great things about Keaton in "Birdman". I think it will be between those three, it just depends on which route the Academy wants to go for. I would like to see Cumberbatch take it because he carried the film superbly, but Carell was a surprise for his performance.

As for Best Film/Director, I hope it goes to "The Grand Budapest Hotel". Wes Anderson's work is superb and this was no exception, it was one of my favourite films from last year because the pacing was great, cinematography was one of the finest I've seen. I hope it goes his way.

- no nomination for Channing Tatum in Foxcatcher?
- Carell will win in what I thought was a good performance but very gimmicky

Honestly, Channing Tatum was the weak link in that film, he did...ok. Outside of the breakdown in the hotel room, there wasn't anything to put his performance outside of memorable in comparison to Carell and Ruffalo. The film showed that Tatum can act, but he's an average actor at best.

And Cooper for best actor? For fucking what? Talking with an accent? Showing almost no range of emotion whatsoever?

Didn't he also get nominated for "American Hustle" when his performance was mundane in comparison to his fellow performers?

With four Oscar wins (tying The Grand Budapest Hotel's number of total wins), including Best Picture, Birdman stole the show for big wins at the 87th Academy Awards last night. I still need to catch up, because Birdman and The Grand Budapest Hotel are the only two films I've seen on the Best Picture nominations list, but I'm glad Birdman won, and I'm looking forward to AGI's future films.

I was pulling for Keaton, because I find it hard to believe he'll receive another nomination again in the future. Redmayne is still young, and I have a feeling his name will pop up in the Best Actor categories again, but I'm happy AGI stepped aside for a little bit to give Keaton the time for a little speech at the end.

A part of me wants to talk about Edward Norton missing his chance to win another Oscar, but if I'm using clips and the trailers as a sign of things to come in the movie, J.K. Simmons knocked it out of the park in Whiplash. Also, Big Hero 6 winning (an easy pick for my favorite 2014 animated film) the Oscar for Best Animated Feature Film was no real surprise, and it took me a while to realize Feast is the little short attached to Big Hero 6 before they show the actual movie.

As far as the show goes, NPH was kind of hit-and-miss for me, and the big reveal for the running joke surrounding his Oscar predictions didn't do anything for me. To add that, as the show progressed, NPH as host took a backseat to bigger moments, including Patricia Arquette's speech, Common and John Legend's performance, and the emotional reaction from the crowd after the performance.
