Oscars 2015: BIRDMAN Wins Best Picture and Best Director

The 87th Academy Awards have ended. Neil Patrick Harris was arguably the worst part of the awards show, mostly because of a batch of bad jokes that made him clearly uncomfortable and somewhat unlikeable as the host. I honestly expected a bit more energy in his routine, but it all felt incredibly flat after a relatively short and dull opening musical moment.

The awards themselves were offered to the usual suspects. "Birdman" picked up 4 Oscars, including Best Picture, Director and Original Screenplay, and "The Grand Budapest Hotel" also took home four awards for the more technical categories like Costumes, Art Direction and Score. Julianne Moore, Eddie Redmayne, Patricia Arquette and J.K. Simmons nabbed Oscars for their amazing performances, while "Selma", "Interstellar", "American Sniper" and "The Imitation Game" each took home one award. In the animated feature category Disney won for a second consecutive year with "Big Hero 6" and Poland's "Ida" won Best Foreign Language Film.

BOYHOOD Wins Top Honors at 2015 BAFTA Awards

Well, this was unexpected. While "Birdman" was cleaning up all the Guild awards in the U.S., "Boyhood" created an upset by winning Best Film and Best Director (Richard Linklater) at the British Academy of Film and Television Arts Awards. The film also picked up an award for Supporting Actress (Patricia Arquette). The BAFTAs ignored "Birdman" for the top awards, but did send it home with a much deserved win for Cinematography (Emmanuel Lubezki).

"The Grand Budapest Hotel" was actually the big winner of the evening with a total of 5 awards, including Original Screenplay, Production Design and Original Music. "The Theory of Everything" scored wins for Best British Film and Leading Actor (Eddie Redmayne), and Julianne Moore took home the Leading Actress award for her performance in "Still Alice"

Alejandro G. Iñárritu Wins DGA Award for BIRDMAN

The Directors Guild of America announced their winners last night. Pretty much as expected, Alejandro G. Iñárritu won the award for Outstanding Directorial Achievement in Feature Film for his work on "Birdman". The film has now performed the rare feat of winning the PGA, SAG and DGA awards, a performance equalled by only 8 other films in history: "Argo", "The King's Speech", "Slumdog Millionaire", "No Country for Old Men", "The Lord of The Rings: Return of the Kings", "Chicago", "American Beauty" and "Apollo 13". Of these 8, only "Apollo 13" failed to secure Best Picture and Best Director wins at the Oscars. So, the Academy Awards race is pretty much closed at this point, unless the Academy decides to surprise us and give Richard Linklater the Best Director Oscar.

2015 SAG Winners: BIRDMAN, DOWNTON ABBEY and ORANGE IS THE NEW BLACK Win Top Honors

The Screen Actors Guild announced the winners of the 2015 edition of the awards last night. "Birdman" won the SAG award for Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture, consolidating its Oscar buzz after winning the PGA award last week. In the theatrical acting categories there were no big surprises. Eddie Redmayne, Julianne Moore, Patricia Arquette and J.K. Simmons each took home an award. In television, "Downton Abbey" and "Orange is the New Black" nabbed wins for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in Drama and Comedy Series, respectively. In individual acting categories for drama and comedy series, the winners include Frances McDormand, Kevin Spacey, Viola Davis, William H. Macy and Uzo Aduba.

BIRDMAN Wins PGA Award for Best Picture

The winners of the 2015 Producers Guild of America awards have been announced and in a bit of a shocker, the ensemble comedy "Birdman" took home Best Picture. While "Boyhood" was deemed a favorite, the PGA decided to provide a surprise for a change, and since the Producers Guild are a solid indicator for the Oscar winner, Birdman's Academy Awards odds just went up. Other PGA awards winners were "The LEGO Movie" and "Fargo" in the televison category.

2015 Oscar Nominations Announced

The nominations for the 87th Academy Awards have been announced. The list includes some awards favorites like "Boyhood", "The Imitation Game", "Birdman" and "The Grand Budapest Hotel". The latter two lead the race with 9 nominations each. "Selma" was once again snubbed. While the drama managed to receive a Best Picture nod, it was left out of every other major category. The only other nomination the film received was for Best Original Song.

There was plenty of love, however, for Clint Eastwood's "American Sniper" which received 6 nominations including Best Picture and "The Imitation Game" which scored 8 nods including the major categories (Picture, Screenplay, Actor, Actress, Directing).

"The LEGO Movie" was also left out of the Best Animated Feature category, while "Big Hero 6", "The Boxtrolls" and "How to Train Your Dragon 2" made the cut alongside two surprises, the lesser known films "Song of the Sea" and "The Tale of Princess Kaguya".

The winners of the Academy Awards will be announced live when the ceremony airs on February 22nd (ABC). The show will be hosted by Neil Patrick Harris.

2015 Directors Guild Nominees Announced

The Directors Guild of America has announced its nominations for the 67th Annual DGA Awards. The five directors nominated are:

• Wes Anderson - "The Grand Budapest Hotel"
  
  
• Clint Eastwood - "American Sniper"
  
  
• Alejandro González Iñárritu - "Birdman"
  
  
• Richard Linklater - "Boyhood"
  
  
• Morton Tyldum - "The Imitation Game"
  
  

As with the other Guild Awards, the DGAs too are solid indicators for the Oscars. Some noticeable snubs here include David Fincher for "Gone Girl" and Ava DuVernay for "Selma". The latter film has been pretty much ignored by the Guilds and was recently snubbed by the BAFTAs, so its Oscar prospects are not looking good. The winners will be announced on February 7, 2015.

2015 Golden Globes: The Complete Winners List

The 72nd Golden Globes winners have been announced and the awards were pretty much split between each of the major contenders. "Boyhood" took home the awards for Best Drama, Best Director (Richard Linklater) and Supporting Actress (Patricia Arquette), while "The Grand Budapest Hotel" won Best Comedy or Musical. "Birdman" scored wins for leading actor Michael Keaton and Best Screenplay. As pretty much expected, Julianne Moore won Best Actress for "Still Alice", Eddie Redmayne nabbed a trophy for "The Theory of Everything" and J.K. Simmons took home the award for Best Supporting Role for his explosive performance in "Whiplash". In the television categories "Fargo" and "The Affair" won top honors.

BAFTA 2015 Nominations Announced

The nominees for the 2015 BAFTAs have been announced and Wes Anderson's "The Grand Budapest Hotel" is in the lead with 11 nominations. Other Best Film contenders are "Birdman", "The Theory of Everything", "Boyhood" and "The Imitation Game". The BAFTA ceremony will be hosted by Stephen Fry and will take place on February 8.

2015 Producers Guild Nominees Announced

The nominees for the Producers Guild Awards have been announced. The contenders for the Darryl F. Zanuck Award for feature film are "American Sniper", "Birdman", "Foxcatcher", "Gone Girl", "Grand Budapest Hotel", "The Imitation Game", "Nightcrawler", "The Theory of Everything" and "Whiplash". Most films were expected candidates, with possibly just "Nightcrawler" being something of a surprise, but the PGA's top 10 also shut out some other surefire candidates like "Selma", "Into the Woods" or "A Most Violent Year". The PGAs are usually a strong indicator for the Oscars, so whoever wins here will probably go on to win Best Picture at the Academy Awards as well.

In the television category, the PGA nominated some usual suspects like "American Horror Story: Freak Show", "Sherlock", "Game of Thrones", "Breaking Bad", "Modern Family" and "Downton Abbey", but also new additions like "True Detective" and "Fargo".

The 26th annual Producers Guild Awards will be held on January 24th in Los Angeles.
