Oscars - Best Picture of 2014

Birdman

Weird movie. Wish I could get those two hours back, though I can see why Michael Keaton is nominated for Best Actor as he did a fine job but I am hoping for either Eddie Redmayne or Bradley Cooper to win in that category.

Boyhood

Snoozer. Too long, but I can appreciate this taking 12 years to film so the director should get kudos. But that's it.

Selma

Well done movie. Loved it. Great acting all around and it should have received more nominations.

The Theory of Everything

Amazing Story. I really liked it. Eddie Redmayne playing Stephen Hawking seems like the most challenging as his portrayal.

The Imitation Game

Interesting story. Loved it. Benedict Cumberbatch is another strong contender in the Best Actor category.

The Grand Budapest Hotel






Quirky. I didn't embrace it at all!

American Sniper






Favorite movie of 2014. Loved it. Even though I feel like Bradley Cooper won't win in the Best Actor category, he is amazing and is my favorite. But I'm partial to this movie, as you'll see from my review.

Whiplash






Offbeat, but a surprise that I really enjoyed this one so much. J.K. Simmons should win as Best Supporting Actor and he deserves it.

MY CHOICE for BEST PICTURE:
American Sniper. Though my prediction is Boyhood or Birdman will win.
