Oscars 2015 Michael Keaton, Sean Penn, and Alejandro González Iñárritu: Oscar boys being boys Everything about the Best Picture win for Birdman was a little odd.

Media Manipulation We have two races Boyhood won the BAFTA last night. But on Saturday, the Directors Guild picked Birdman. The DGAs are considered a very, very, VERY good predictor of Oscar Best Picture; only 7 times in history have the DGA and the Academy picked differently. Even still, Boyhood has its share of support.

Assy Style Reese Witherspoon: Hollywood wife at the SAGs There was a great article in the New York Times that came out just after the Golden Globes: What Happened to Risk on the Red Carpet?

Movie Reviews and Previews Michael Keaton somehow won twice I don’t understand why Birdman keeps getting categorized as a comedy. It’s weird and has its funny moments, but it’s not a comedy.
