How Grand Budapest Hotel could be up against such brilliance as the Imitation Game is a bit of a joke, Grand Budapest Hotel is utter drivel

Yes, @Flash you mustn't be a 'candyass' haha

Haha no, it's a shame I usually like Wes Anderson's stuff

Saw these 4 today as part of Best Picture Showcase from AMC Theatres:

Boyhood-quite the achievement in capturing ordinary life in an extraordinary way. Really enjoyed the script, lots of truths about existence and life in general captured in a very lyrical way. Transitions through age very seamless.

The Theory of Everything-huge Hawking fan, but actually expected a bit more from film itself. All actors did great job, however.

The Imitation Game-really enjoyed this one, engaging story and performances by all.

American Sniper-was better than I expected after some very negative press. I liked this film more than I thought I would, and was glad that PTSD was prominently highlighted in this film-an essential topic that needs far more discussion and support in media and in general.

It's a consolation prize for him not winning but at least they got something right

You're talking about the nod to Keaton on stage?

 

[Drum18]

Boyhood and American Sniper = nada for them tonight... that's sad

 

[mllNY]

@Drum18 no i mean the fact that they didn't give Keaton the oscar

I voted for Whiplash, but after seeing that Boyhood didn't win a single reward I would've liked to see it win Best Picture. Really gutted for Linklater.

 

[severo]

i voted for birdman.

I haven't seen all the nominees, but among the ones I have seen I personally enjoyed The Grand Budapest Hotel the most

Boyhood did win one award, for Supporting Actress. So it wasn't shut out completely

True, Patricia winning Supporting Actress is better than nothing I suppose... but I meant in terms of Linklater getting something, so either Best Director or Best Picture.
