It’s
Saturday and you don’t have time to read explanations as to why I've made the
picks I've made in each category – you need a ballot filled out and you need an
Oscar pool win. I've seen most of the
movies represented here (aside from the
shorts and the foreign stuff; they tend to not be my bag – whaddaya gonna do; I’m
not a complete movie nerd) and have followed all the precursor awards. For the most part, I know of what I speak or
vote. The Best Picture (Birdman v.
Boyhood), Best Director (Birdman v.
Boyhood) and Best Actor (Redmayne v. Keaton)
make for a heated two-horse race…
Keep in mind
Birdman was my favorite flick of 2014 and I JUST watched it again last night –
still love it – so I’m going strong with the superhero-turned-stage actor story
in all three of the aforementioned categories.
Another factor
to take in to consideration is the fact that I loathed Boyhood. If you’re not a critic, carve out a few days
and give it watch – you’ll quickly understand why…
Here are my grid picks (click to enlarge). Good luck and Happy Oscaring!
