Birdman took home 4 awards, including Best Picture. |
A close race proved predictable again for Hollywood's big night. There weren't many surprises, unless you predicted Boyhood would win Best Picture and/or Best Director. Birdman's triumph seems rather odd, but it wasn't a normal awards season by any means.
In all, I predicted 21/24 categories correctly, missing only Best Animated Feature Film (predicted How to Train Your Dragon 2), Best Sound Mixing (predicted Birdman), and Best Documentary Short Film (predicted Joanna). This is the best I've done since 2007, if I'm not mistaken, so there's something else to celebrate.

You did better than me by 1!!! We did good this year...and BIRDMAN!!!!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I think this ties the best I've ever done. So happy for Birdman!
DeleteThanks for the run down! I didn't get to watch the awards, so this is nice to have. :) You really nailed it on most of your predictions.
ReplyDeleteYou're very welcome! :) I did much better than I thought I would.
DeleteWOW!! You only got three wrong? Well done Josh! Hurray for Birdman, I really did not see that coming. I thought it'd be a split that Inarritu gets Best Director & Boyhood wins BP, but I'm super happy w/ this result! If only Keaton got one too :(
ReplyDeleteThanks Ruth! Yeah, Birdman is such a strange choice for Oscar voters. I wish I'd been wrong about Keaton losing. :(
