As of this afternoon we have seen all of the movies nominated for the 2015 Oscar.
Whiplash is a very good small film, that I am very glad is getting some recognition from the Academy. JK Simmons, ( who has FREAKED me out since his OZ chacater ) took home the Golden Globe for best supporting actor in a drama, and he was just as good if not better than any of the other guys on the list. I don't think we would have seen the movie with out the Oscar buzz , and I am happy we did.
It is not a David Lean epic, its just a small tight little film about people - and drums. The kid in the movie, Miles Teller so should have been nominated along side Simmons.
AND - the big and, I will be doing a whole post on this : I am in camp BIRDMAN for Best Picture.
also, our small little local movie house in liberal enclave of Pittsford NY was setting up a special queue for the coming crowds to see American Sniper - BY FAR the worst movie on the above list.
