The ending threw a lot of people off. The acting was absolutely superb.

This was my issue with it. If he would have been dead on the sidewalk it would have been a much better movie.

I liked it. Didn't think it was the best movie of the year. Could easily see why people saw it like that. It catered to the demographic. Hollywood LOVES movies about show business.

I'd put Birdman as #1 for last year's films. The ending was terrible though.

I've seen all nominees except for Selma and I turned off Theory after 40 minutes.

Whiplash is loved here, but it wasn't best picture IMO. Theory was a terrible nominee and Sniper has no business as best picture as well.

Birdman, Imitation, Boyhood, Grand Budapest, Whiplash all had cases. I liked Nightcrawler and Interstellar was well. Easily should have replaced Theory and Sniper.

That said, as has been stated, a movie about actors acting seems to have a no brainer leg up. I still think it was worthy though.

Did you actually watch Inherent Vice? I turned that shite off half way through.

No. Haven't seen it. I was only speaking of Oscar best picture nominees. The only one I haven't seen is Selma. The last one I watched was Imitation Game and it was good IMO. But I'm a big math/history/theme fan so I may be biased on my opinion of it. But then again, I couldn't watch past 40 minutes of Theory of Everything.

Lately I've been watching Saul and catching up on Mad Men and need to rewatch some GoT before next week (to refresh).

Yeah, I love Paul Thomas Anderson but this movie was just bad.
