It would be really silly if Birdman won Best Picture but Keaton lost. But then again I've always thought Boyhood just doesn't seem like something that would win Best Picture.


Birdman seems even less like something that would win.

Could Birdman pull a big upset?

I'd be okay with either Birdman or Boyhood winning... both are absolutely fantastic films, shaped by a masterful hand, providing an essential, unprecedented cinematic experience. What I would NOT like (and what I'm currently predicting) is a huge upset by American Sniper for Best Picture, against all odds.

AS won't win because of political issues. You can see it right now with Moore on one side and Murdoch on the other. It's just too divisive and controversial. It can win technical awards, sure, but not the big one. And that's why I think Cooper doesn't have any chance either. Some people will think that honoring him is honoring the life of what they consider a murderer, and will vote for someone else.

So, who else thinks that The Grand Budapest Hotel will walk away with most wins? I see Original Screenplay, Art Direction, Costume Design and Score, with shots at Editing and Makeup.

The tide has really completely turned in Birdman's favor now, with it winning even the Sound guilds...

I think best-case scenario it could walk away with:

Best Picture
Best Director
Best Actor
Best Original Screenplay
Best Cinematography
Best Sound Mixing

There is too much love among the guilds for it to win just cinematography as some of us have assumed at somne points. It will show strength. At least three of the above will happen.

I would probably cry from happiness if Birdman won.
