BAFTA “British Oscars” Go to Boyhood (Best Pic) Julianne Moore, Redmayne, Boyhood (Director), LEGO, Simmons, Arquette

“Boyhood” beats “Birdman.” I do think that’s the Oscar for Best Picture. Eddie Redmayne seems to have knocked out Michael Keaton, destabilizing “Birdman.” “Boyhood” has the edge with Arquette and Linklater. Innaritu’s DGA win I think ends there. “Birdman” flew very high for a small art house picture. The themes in “Boyhood” are more universal. I still feel “Selma” was the Best Picture.
