Better not win best picture

That is all

Massively overrated, IMO. It was a good story, but definitely not anything insanely special. It was all about the the time it took to make the movie - neat, but didn't make a ground breaking story or anything.

Birdman is nothing special either.

Follow the Oscars for enough years you begin to realise what a circle jerk they are, rarely are the films nominated the best films of the year for ENTERTAINMENT, and are largely forgotten about with a year or two.

Anne Thompson's review for American Sniper said it was a movie made for weak minded steak eaters.

I guess being a fake intellect includes being an America hating liberal douchenozzle.

nothing suspicious about going to the movies to see a movie called "boyhood"

Lego movie snub was the worst.

Ideally the films are nominated for their artistic merit rather than popular acclaim.

Who cares what a bunch of greedy crooked morally degenerate addicts like Hollywood says.

Pulling for Mir, but I got Silva via TKO.

Academy Award nominations and winners are voted on by the members of the Academy. In other words, it is an award voted on by movie industry peers. With an Oscar, a box office flop can end up wining best picture. It is not the People's Choice Awards.

Having said this, there is some who feel the voting is convoluted and does not always lend itself to awarding the best of the best.

Wasn't all that thrilled with it, either. Zero interest in seeing Birdman, so can't comment. Foxcatcher was my favorite this year; but from the nominees, I'd pick Whiplash.

Just saw Nightcrawler and The Drop On Demand, btw, both very good.

got nightcrawler lined up to watch, is it fast paced and gritty? Hoping not too much of a slow burner

interesting how the same people that put all "conspiracy theory" together without any distinction, are the first ones to live in hollywood fantasyland. "oh my word, who-but-who will win at the oscars?"

Yes, it's dark and pulls you right in.

Steve Reeves?

It couldn't possibly be him, no one invented Dbol until the mid 50s. It sprang like Athena from the skull of a doctor in York, Pa. No one had ever heard of any drug that could help build muscle before that exact moment.
