If I were an Oscar voter, here is what my ballot would look like:
Best Picture : Birdman- By far the best acting that I have seen from any film
Best Actor in a lead role: Benedict Cumberbatch- I thought he killed, despite the collapse of the movie at the endd.
Best Supporting Actor: Edward Norton. Enough said.
Best leading actress: Rosemound Pike. Once again, enough said.
Best Supporting Actress: Emma Stone.
Best Animated Picture: This one is a swerve, The Lego Movie. Yes I know it wasn’t nominated, but it’s still on my ballot.
Birdman was great! At the very least, it should win Cinematography and Original Screenplay. http://silverscreentalks.com/2015/01/28/michael-keaton-can-act/
I totally agree with you. alongside with the acting and the script, I actually enjoyed its score as well. Hopefully the movie will win something
