It took 12 years for Boyhood to lose an Oscar

[@jeffersonborges9932]

Francis M. 12 Years a Slave! :D

[@mrxxbrian]

i'm sorry, as much as I liked Boyhood, it should not have won just because it was made over a span of 12 years and btw, if you combine all the time they ACTUALLY spent making the film, it's the same amount as any other film. Boyhood was like a seasonal job, meet up once a month and they had 12 years to prove upon the script and work on others. Alejandro definitely deserved Best Director. And if boyhood should've won anything other than Patricia Heaton winning, Best Picture would have ben suitable in Producing terms not artistic terms as that was well-deserved for Birdman. But lets not also forget how much The Academy loves movies about movies/showbusiness

[@hermangomez6424]

Don't admire the film just because of its gimmick. However... it was robbed. Birdman was amazing, but Boyhood is a masterpiece, one of the best pictures made in the past 15 years.

[@tarantino900]

Herman Gomez Ha,best joke I ever heard,man. Good one.

[@hermangomez6424]

Christian Boudreaux This was one of those years with two very exceptional films are up for Best Picture and Director... typically the academy is gracious enough to split the two awards... and had it done so, I would not be bitching. Birdman is a solid for Best Picture... so I'm not nearly as mad as I would be if any of the other six won (Especially American Sniper) however, I feel justice would have been served if Boyhood on Director and Birdman won picture... or vise verse... the fact that Birdman won both is what aagitates me.

[@dannytheman1313]

I think I can safely call this one of the most experimental oscars ever many of these movies were straight up experiments the more you think about it, boyhood taking 12 years to make, Grand Budapest with its constantly changing aspect ratios from full screen to letter box, right on down to looking like it was shot on 8mm, birdman with its exceptional cinematography the camera never breaking or cutting to another scene giving the appearance of being shot in one take, I haven't seen movie making like that in a long time.

The difference between Birdman and Boyhood is that Boyhood is just a child maturing into a man, and the special short moments within childhood. Not that that doesn't make a great movie, but the only thing truly original about Boyhood is the fact that it's the same face over 12 years. Birdman is more deserving of the award because it's more original and unique than all the other Best Picture contenders.

If it was your race being recognized too you would be as proud as can be. As a a Mexican American having your race recognized is a pride and joy to all of my culture. We have to constantly fight stigma and prove to people and ourselves that we are worthy and capable. So if you think we are being pretentious we are not! #mexicanayamuchahonra #mexicanandproud

What an incredible year for film, and so many fantastic films filled up the category. Boyhood, Whiplash, and Birdman were my top three favorites, and Birdman deserved it. So cool to see the Academy honor a film like Birdman.

[@MrBorjaaaa]

Boyhood: moving, well- directed, great performance by Arquette, incredible using of a song (Hero), stunning journey through childhood. Birdman: powerful, original, greatest directing of the last years, amazing ensemble performances (highlighting Norton, Stone, Watts and obviously the spectacular Michael Keaton, great score and stunning cinematography and screenplay The Grand Budapest Hotel: original, great score, great performance by Fiennes, incredible makeup, hairstyle and costume design and a good screenplay. Imitation Game: correctly directed, good screenplay, outstanding performance by Cumberbatch and incredibly good score. Whiplash: tension, amazing performance by Simmons, great directing and a fine editing. American Sniper: correct performance by Cooper, correctly directed, mythologizing a definitely not-hero person, Bush propaganda and a good sound. Selma: Haven't watched it.

Birdman and Boyhood are my favorite films of 2014!

[@Adamdow95]

Alejandro won 3 times: Writer / Director / Best Picture for Bidman beating Richard Linklater in those categories for Boyhood - whose supporing actress Patricia Arquette beat Alejandro's supporting actress Emma Stone. Both films won atleast 1 Oscar each.

[@miroslavtomic2681]

Alejandro Gonzalez Inaritu is visionary and trully the top Hollywood director at the moment. In 2016, he became the first director to win back-to-back Oscars for Best Picture (Birdman and The Revenant)) since 1950, 66 years prior.

[@ronaldmcdonald2817]

He won back to back best Director. The Revenant didn’t win best picture ( even though it should have)

[@Ir0nMa1d3n]

My parent's moved here in 1975. I believe they are part of those who paved a better opportunity for other's like them. My father learned English while I was at grammar school. My mother taught herself. My Great-grandmother(my mom's grandmother) passed away August of 2015 at the age of 98. When he gave his speech, he holds truth and it made me think of how she came over and lived and worked to raise the family she carried over to this day.

[@MrMarsFargo]

I'm just gonna say it: 2014 was the greatest year for film in the 2010s

[@arock1234]

Still stands as one of the best movies I have ever seen.

[@ALE280290]

Here's my top 8 (and my opinions): 1. American Sniper (one of Clint Eastwood's best "shots", extraordinary Bradley Cooper, a deserved Oscar for sound editing); 2. The Grand Budapest Hotel (that genius of Wes Anderson strikes again, maybe his masterpiece, 4 deserved technical Oscars); 3. Birdman (without any doubt Iñárritu's best film, full of great ideas, awesome dialogues and with an amazing cast); 4. The Theory of Everything (2 marvellous characters/actors, a well adapted script and a wonderful music, still glad Redmayne won an Oscar); 5. Boyhood (more an experience than a movie, but what a great experience, deserved the award won by Patricia Arquette, Linklater should have won for best director); 6. Selma (an extraordinary and underrated true story with a memorable Martin Luther King played by David Oyelowo and one of the best original songs of these past editions, "Glory"); 7. Whiplash (maybe the breakthrough film of the year, with amazing groove, terrifying drama, a fenomenal Miles Teller and a memorable J. K. Simmons more vile than ever, for me not a masterpiece, but I think I should watch it again to feel it much better); 8. The Imitation Game (the 1st time it didn't get me as I hoped, but the 2nd one it did, another incredible biopic with wonderful actors and a well adapted screenplay rightfully awarded with an Oscar).

looking back at this now, what a strong set of films this was. i’ve always been a bit pissed off that grand budapest hotel didn’t win best picture without knowing the other nominees. but birdman? boyhood? whiplash? all of these films are brilliant and progressive in their own ways. what a great field of nominees and the birdman oscar was very deserved 👏🏻
