The contest is between American Sniper, Boyhood, and Birdman. I think Boyhood wins Best Director, Birdman Best Picture. Clint gets the consolation that his picture is a smash hit, and maybe Bradley Cooper gets Best Actor (Michael Keaton and Benedict Cumberbund being the main competition. Cumberbund playing a Hollywood favorite - the tortured persecuted gay genius. And Keaton because he's back.)
Thanks, I’m sure that you know more about this than I ever will. I have noticed that the correlation between truly good movies and Academy Awards is somewhat lacking.
I have always, always loved Michael Keaton and missed him when he was gone.
