Snooch to the Nooch!<\/p>\n
The Awards Season “Officially” comes to an end this Sunday as the Academy hands out the Oscars, with Neil Patrick Harris hosting. Even more so than last year, I am frustrated by my inability to get to a number of the nominees, including a few Best Picture contenders. Hopefully, though, as I begin to get some things in order, my moviewatching will become more regular again, and I can find time for one of the loves of my life while not neglecting the other ones. You’ll see a lot of “Haven’t Seens” this year, but they won’t all stay that way.<\/p>\n
(Because of the disparity of what I’ve seen this year, what is typically “Brian’s Pick” from the nominees is going to be my overall, personal pick from what I’ve seen this year. Too many nominees missed this year to do it otherwise.)<\/p>\n
Before we start, here is what my 10 Best and Favorite lists of 2014 look like as we go into the big night. I hope you enjoy!<\/p>\n
Brian’s 10 Best Films of 2014<\/b> Brian’s 10 Favorite Films of 2014<\/b> Viva la Resistance!<\/p>\n Brian Skutle Best Picture<\/u><\/b> Brian\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Top Eight:<\/b> “How to Train Your Dragon 2”; “Selma”; “Birdman, or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance)”; “Boyhood”; “Snowpiercer”; “Life Itself”; “The LEGO Movie”; “X-Men: Days of Future Past”<\/p>\n Brian\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Personal Pick:<\/b> “How to Train Your Dragon 2”<\/p>\n Oscar\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Pick:<\/b> “Boyhood”<\/i>. Like last year, Best Picture is going to be a nail-biter to the end, but I think Richard Linklater’s 12-year odyssey will edge past the guild fave “Birdman” and box-office might of “Sniper” for the big one at the end of the night.<\/p>\n Best Director<\/u><\/b> Brian’s Top Five:<\/b> Alejandro Gonz\u00c3\u00a1lez I\u00c3\u00b1\u00c3\u00a1rritu, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Birdman, or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance)\u00e2\u20ac\u009d; Richard Linklater, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Boyhood\u00e2\u20ac\u009d; Ava DuVernay, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Selma\u00e2\u20ac\u009d; Bong Joon-ho, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Snowpiercer\u00e2\u20ac\u009d; Christopher Nolan, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Interstellar\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n Brian’s Personal Pick:<\/b> Alejandro Gonz\u00c3\u00a1lez I\u00c3\u00b1\u00c3\u00a1rritu, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Birdman, or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance)\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n Oscar’s Pick:<\/b> Alejandro Gonz\u00c3\u00a1lez I\u00c3\u00b1\u00c3\u00a1rritu<\/i>. Picture and Director could reverse, and Linklater takes this while “Birdman” wins the big one, but I think that, like countryman Alfonso Cauron did last year, the vision on display in “Birdman” will be too much for voters to ignore when picking one of the distinct auteurs to honor this year. For the second year in a row, a Mexican master wins Best Director.<\/p>\n Best Actor<\/u><\/b> Brian’s Top Five:<\/b> Michael Keaton, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Birdman, or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance)\u00e2\u20ac\u009d; Eddie Redmayne, “The Theory of Everything”; Jake Gyllenhaal, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Nightcrawler\u00e2\u20ac\u009d; David Oyelowo, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Selma\u00e2\u20ac\u009d; Ralph Fiennes, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153The Grand Budapest Hotel\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n Brian’s Personal Pick:<\/b> Michael Keaton, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Birdman, or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance)\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n Oscar’s Pick:<\/b> Michael Keaton<\/i>. This is going to be a close one. I think, for both Carell and Cumberbatch, the win is in the nomination in a brutally competitive year. Cooper could ride the stunning success of “Sniper” at the box-office to his first statue after his third straight nomination, but I think it comes down to Golden Globe winners Redmayne and Keaton, both of whom are equally worthy. In all honesty, I think Redmayne will ride the SAG and BAFTA wave to victory, but this being Hollywood, I can’t imagine his peers letting Keaton, a beloved vet, go away empty-handed for what is the role of a lifetime, simply because Redmayne will have more chances in the future.<\/p>\n Best Actress<\/u><\/b> Brian’s Top Five:<\/b> Scarlett Johansson, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Under the Skin\u00e2\u20ac\u009d; Kiera Knightley, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Begin Again\u00e2\u20ac\u009d; Suley Rivera, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Showing Sydney\u00e2\u20ac\u009d; Agata Trzebuchowska, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Ida\u00e2\u20ac\u009d; Gugu Mbatha-Raw, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Belle\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n Brian’s Personal Pick:<\/b> Scarlett Johansson, “Under the Skin”<\/p>\n Oscar’s Pick:<\/b> Julianne Moore<\/i>. The veteran, who’s deserved an Oscar for at least 20 years, finally goes home with it. There isn’t really a plausible alternative here.<\/p>\n Best Supporting Actor<\/u><\/b> Brian’s Top Five:<\/b> J.K. Simmons, “Whiplash”; Tony Revolori, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153The Grand Budapest Hotel\u00e2\u20ac\u009d; Edward Norton, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Birdman, or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance)\u00e2\u20ac\u009d; Rohan Chand, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Bad Words\u00e2\u20ac\u009d; Gary Poulter, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Joe\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n Brian’s Personal Pick:<\/b> Tony Revolori, “The Grand Budapest Hotel”<\/p>\n Oscar’s Pick:<\/b> J.K. Simmons<\/i>. It’s a mortal lock at this point for the popular character actor.<\/p>\n Best Supporting Actress<\/u><\/b> Brian’s Top Five:<\/b> Patricia Arquette, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Boyhood\u00e2\u20ac\u009d; Rene Russo, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Nightcrawler\u00e2\u20ac\u009d; Carmen Ejogo, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Selma\u00e2\u20ac\u009d; Tilda Swinton, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Snowpiercer,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d \u00e2\u20ac\u0153The Grand Budapest Hotel\u00e2\u20ac\u009d & \u00e2\u20ac\u0153The Zero Theorem\u00e2\u20ac\u009d; Agata Kulesza, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Ida\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n Brian’s Personal Pick:<\/b> Patricia Arquette, “Boyhood”<\/p>\n Oscar’s Pick:<\/b> Patricia Arquette<\/i>. Another mortal lock, and anyone who tries to say otherwise is diluting themselves.<\/p>\n Best Original Screenplay<\/u><\/b> Brian’s Top Five:<\/b> \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Birdman, or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance)\u00e2\u20ac\u009d (Alejandro Gonz\u00c3\u00a1lez I\u00c3\u00b1\u00c3\u00a1rritu, Nicolas Giacobone, and Alexander Dinelaris); \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Boyhood\u00e2\u20ac\u009d (Richard Linklater); \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Selma\u00e2\u20ac\u009d (Paul Webb); \u00e2\u20ac\u0153The Grand Budapest Hotel\u00e2\u20ac\u009d (Wes Anderson, Hugo Guiness); \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Showing Sydney\u00e2\u20ac\u009d (Edgar Muniz & Suley Rivera)<\/p>\n Brian’s Personal Pick:<\/b> \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Birdman, or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance)\u00e2\u20ac\u009d (Alejandro Gonz\u00c3\u00a1lez I\u00c3\u00b1\u00c3\u00a1rritu, Nicolas Giacobone, and Alexander Dinelaris)<\/p>\n Oscar’s Pick:<\/b> “The Grand Budapest Hotel”<\/i>. With “Boyhood” and “Birdman” basically locking horns in the Best Picture and Director categories, that leaves the third big Best Picture contender in need of compensation. A long-overdue screenplay Oscar for idiosyncratic visionary Anderson seems like a worthwhile consolation prize.<\/p>\n Best Adapted Screenplay<\/u><\/b> Brian’s Top Five:<\/b> \u00e2\u20ac\u0153How to Train Your Dragon 2\u00e2\u20ac\u009d (Dean DeBlois); \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Rosewater\u00e2\u20ac\u009d (Jon Stewart); \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Guardians of the Galaxy\u00e2\u20ac\u009d (James Gunn & Nicole Perlman); \u00e2\u20ac\u0153The LEGO Movie\u00e2\u20ac\u009d (Dan Hageman, Kevin Hageman, Phil Lord & Christopher Miller); \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Noah\u00e2\u20ac\u009d (Darren Aronofsky & Ari Handel)<\/p>\n Brian’s Personal Pick:<\/b> \u00e2\u20ac\u0153How to Train Your Dragon 2\u00e2\u20ac\u009d (Dean DeBlois)<\/p>\n Oscar’s Pick:<\/b> “Whiplash”<\/i>. Part of me wants to go with 8-time nominee “Imitation Game,” which has limited chances for a victory, but the last-minute category switch for “Whiplash” makes me think it’s in a good position to win here.<\/p>\n Best Original Score<\/u><\/b> Brian’s Top Five:<\/b> \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Interstellar\u00e2\u20ac\u009d (Hans Zimmer); “Birdman, or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance)\u00e2\u20ac\u009d (Antonio Sanchez); \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Noah\u00e2\u20ac\u009d (Clint Mansell); \u00e2\u20ac\u0153How to Train Your Dragon 2\u00e2\u20ac\u009d (John Powell); \u00e2\u20ac\u0153The Grand Budapest Hotel\u00e2\u20ac\u009d (Alexandre Desplat)<\/p>\n Brian’s Personal Pick:<\/b> “Interstellar” (Hans Zimmer)<\/p>\n Oscar’s Pick:<\/b> “The Theory of Everything”<\/i>. I’m still waiting for a second Oscar for Hans Zimmer, and Desplat is long overdue at this point (and could still win, for “Budapest,” I think, more than “Imitation Game”), but I think the lovely, delirious orchestral strings by Johannsson for “Theory of Everything” will be too much for the Academy to ignore.<\/p>\n Best Original Song<\/u><\/b> Brian’s Top Five:<\/b> \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Glory\u00e2\u20ac\u009d from \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Selma\u00e2\u20ac\u009d (Common, John Legend); \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Lost Stars\u00e2\u20ac\u009d from \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Begin Again\u00e2\u20ac\u009d (Gregg Alexander, Danielle Brisebois, Nick Lashley & Nick Southwood); \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Everything is Awesome!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d from \u00e2\u20ac\u0153The LEGO Movie\u00e2\u20ac\u009d (Shawn Patterson, Joshua Bartholomew, Lisa Harriton, Akiva Schaffer, Andy Samberg & Jorma Taccone); \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I Never Wanted to Go\u00e2\u20ac\u009d from \u00e2\u20ac\u0153If I Stay\u00e2\u20ac\u009d (Heitor Pereira); \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Mercy Is\u00e2\u20ac\u009d from \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Noah\u00e2\u20ac\u009d (Patti Smith & Lenny Kaye)<\/p>\n Brian’s Personal Pick:<\/b> \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Glory\u00e2\u20ac\u009d from \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Selma\u00e2\u20ac\u009d (Common, John Legend)<\/p>\n Oscar’s Pick:<\/b> “Glory”<\/i>. Theoretically, “Everything is Awesome!” could still win in the battle between surprising Oscar snubs, but that song from Best Picture nominee “Selma” is a powerhouse, and will win, deservedly so.<\/p>\n Best Animated Feature<\/u><\/b> Brian’s Top Four:<\/b> \u00e2\u20ac\u0153How to Train Your Dragon 2\u00e2\u20ac\u009d; \u00e2\u20ac\u0153The LEGO Movie\u00e2\u20ac\u009d; \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Big Hero 6\u00e2\u20ac\u009d; \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Mr. Peabody & Sherman\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n Brian’s Personal Pick:<\/b> “How to Train Your Dragon 2”<\/p>\n Oscar’s Pick:<\/b> “How to Train Your Dragon 2”<\/i>. Without “The LEGO Movie” in the mix, this actually became an easier call. Look for Dreamworks Animation to win their first Oscar for an in-house production since the original “Shrek” with their best film to date.<\/p>\n Best Foreign Language Film<\/u><\/b> Brian\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Top One:<\/b> “Ida”<\/p>\n Oscar’s Pick:<\/b> “Ida”<\/i>. That Cinematography nomination shows wide support.<\/p>\n Best Documentary Feature<\/u><\/b> Brian’s Top Five:<\/b> \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Life Itself\u00e2\u20ac\u009d; \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Virunga\u00e2\u20ac\u009d; \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Finding Vivian Mayer\u00e2\u20ac\u009d; \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Jodorowsky\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Dune\u00e2\u20ac\u009d; \u00e2\u20ac\u0153The Comic Book Palace\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n Brian’s Personal Pick:<\/b> “Life Itself”<\/p>\n Oscar’s Pick:<\/b> “CITIZENFOUR”<\/i>. Without the sentiment for the Ebert doc “Life Itself” to contend with, look for this expose on Edward Snowden to win.<\/p>\n Best Visual Effects<\/u><\/b> Brian’s Top Five:<\/b> \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Interstellar\u00e2\u20ac\u009d; \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Dawn of the Planet of the Apes\u00e2\u20ac\u009d; \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Guardians of the Galaxy\u00e2\u20ac\u009d; \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Noah\u00e2\u20ac\u009d; \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Godzilla\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n Brian’s Personal Pick:<\/b> “Interstellar”<\/p>\n Oscar’s Pick:<\/b> “Interstellar”<\/i>.
