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.

Style Kristen Stewart: cuffed & bobbed Losing my f-cking mind over Kristen Stewart’s white pants today. OBSESSED. Look at the material. It’s probably heaven on the skin. And they’re cuffed!
