THE 2015 ACADEMY AWARDS

PREDICTIONS DONE BY BARRICADEBOY

 

For the first time, I will be predicting the winners of the 2015 Oscars. I haven’t watched all of them so my predictions will be based on Oscar buzz and award season results but mostly who I think will take the prize this coming Sunday night. Some categories are missing like foreign language and documentary because I did not see ANY of the nominees and I did not want to guess a winner.

I thought pretty thoroughly about my choices but nothing is set in stone. What are your picks? Do you disagree with any of mine?

 

On the subject of Boyhood winning best picture…

I watched Boyhood this Sunday and I must say, the movie underwhelmed me but that’s where its magic is. If “Boyhood” was a kid in school, it would be the one that was always being itself. Past best picture winners had a flare for the dramatic and although Boyhood had some intense scenes, those were never the focus point of the film. The reason why it should win Best Picture is because it doesn’t try. Boyhood is a landmark in the film industry and the quintessential independent film.

I thoroughly enjoyed Guardians of the Galaxy but I re-watched X-Men: Days of Future Past last night and that scene where they bust Magneto out and Quicksilver speeds around the room was stunningly well done. The rest of the movie visuals were as top notch as we've come to expect from the franchise. X-Men probably won't win but it deserved to be nominated for sure.
