    well this ironic.

    The only right choices are 1) Boyhood, 2) Birdman

    like a 68/100.
    It's good, nothing memorable kinda like Nightcrawler.

    Just one of those movies that will slip into obscurity down the road.

    Boyhood is way overrated, the story was very basic, rest of the movies were good.
    Birdman IMO should win it, Whiplash blew me away but not sure if it's deserving of best picture.
    Hope Keaton wins best actor too but he has some real tough competition.

    Birdman feels like a Best Picture winner in that it's a perfectly solid movie, but doesn't hold up to the scrutiny that comes with the lofted status of "Best Picture of the Year" (see Argo, The Artist). And like Argo and The Artist, it's a movie about movies and Hollywood clearly loves to congratulate itself.

    I really really loved Birdman. Sad that it didn't hold up for @Vahn

    Birdman's great and would be a worthy winner, I personally like Whiplash just as much though.

    My pick would be Boyhood though, brilliant film.

    Out of a misplaced sense of completism, I watched The Imitation Game and The Theory of Everything this past week. I didn't actually hate them as expected (competent but forgettable), but this is how I rank the Best Pic nominees.

    Boyhood
    The Grand Budapest Hotel
    Selma
    Birdman
    American Sniper
    Whiplash
    The Theory of Everything
    The Imitation Game

    I'm with @Dew on Whiplash :dno:
