Michael Keaton wins Best Male Lead at the 30th Film Independent Spirit Awards

[@johnnyd.5466]

Michael Keaton is such a class act. This late career resurgence is so well deserved and so fabulous. I can't wait for SPOTLIGHT, SKULL ISLAND, and THE FOUNDER.

Michael has been such an idol to me ever since Batman. Batman really changed my life. Batman was so great and so inspirational to me. Keaton's performance in Birdman was just epic, just like the film. Keaton so deserves the Oscar...we'll never see anything like this again. What a great come-back story too. Fingers crossed for you, Michael! Love the dude.

One of the best & most underrated actors. A favorite of mine. He should have won the Oscar for this...and the best Batman.

[@abm5314]

I love you Michael Keaton your AWSOME I'm crossing my fingers for the oscars Best actor in a leading role

[@tonyanastasio6959]

So happy for Michael. I'm so nervous about the Oscars tonight. I'm even nervous about turning my laptop on because I just want to see and hear that Michael wins Best Actor at the Oscars. I'd be the happiest person alive tomorrow to hear that Keaton wins the Oscar. I'm so fucking nervous it's unreal. I just hope and pray Keaton walks away with the Oscar...I'd give anything to see him win.

Michael and the film was meant for this award! I mean look at it! Like Michael pointed out, it is literally a freakin bird! Fuckin meant to be! HELL YEAH!

[@tonyanastasio6959]

Michael didn't win the Oscar but he's won about 40 other awards for Birdman. He has still done extremely well. Glad Birdman won the 4 big Oscars it did. Keaton and Alejandro rule! A fanfuckingtastic film! You're fucking great, Michael! Oscar time will come again for you...and you'll win the next one. Redmayne deserved the win too. Keaton will always be an idol of mine.

[@paulod27]

Really cool to see Michael Keaton get lots of press attention. He was amazing as Batman and Beetlejuice. Now he has Birdman to his repertoire, and hopefully a Beetlejuice sequel. Well done Mr. Keaton.

You know, Film Independent Award Ceremony is much better than the Oscars in many ways.

[@LaRay82]

Ah, sheer unadulterated joy today!

[@Wired4Life2]

I'm already emotionally invested in Redmayne winning tomorrow's Oscar because the most recent awards favor his momentum and I hate to feel bitter. However, should Keaton win, I will literally raise the roof in jubilation! I'm ready to do both. ^_^

[@eiguajardo]

i think Redmayne`s Oscar, was more in honor to Hawking than to Redmayne´s acting, Michael Keatons introspective work to his character was meticulous... magnificent.

[@jgls1987]

Keaton , You should win an Oscar but the Academy voting members will probaly choose Redmayne over Keaton because the last playing someone still living suffering from ALS

saamboo oyelowo

[@mateoairaudo5535]

5 years later and the fact this legend didn´t get the oscar for his masterful work in Birdman still appalls me. Well, no one cares about the overrated Eddie Redmayne anyway.

[@mateoairaudo5535]

@omar damour Thanks, man.

[@abm5314]

His going to be a slam dunk for sure in the Founder (2016) Because His going to play Ray Kroc a real life person it's directed by john lee Hancock ( The blind side , A perfect world , The Rookie) The script is written by Robert Siegel (The Wrestler) And it's considered to be one of the best un produced script of 2014 Black list It's produced by Aron Ryder ( Memento ، The prestige) and Jeremy Renner ( the guy who played hawk eye and the hurt locker) Executive producer is harvey and bob Weinstein ( pulp fiction, the English patient, good will hunting , Shakespeare in love , cider house roles , chocolat, lord of the rings the first trilogy, Chicago , Gangs of New York , Master and commander :the far side of the world, cold mountain , finding never land , the aviator) Executive producer is William Johnson and Sam englebardt ( A most wanted man)

[@GroundhogDayisAWESOME]

This video makes me wanna *PUNCH* Eddie Redmayne in the face for stealing Michael Keaton's Oscar!
