The winners!
Imitation Game
Best Adapted screenplay
Still Alice
Best Actress, Julianne Moore
Theory of Everything
Best Actor, Eddie Redmeyen
Selma
Best song, Glory
Birdman
Best Picture!
Best director, Alehandro Gonzales Inarritu
Best Cinematography
Best Original Screenplay
The Oscars listened to the critics that liked both Boyhood and Birdman and possibly to Kal Kat, and decided that even though Boyhoood was a tie for best, it was late, and Birdman was on time, so it got the win!
Grand Budapest Hotel
Best makeup
Best costumes
Best production design
Best original score
Won't get movie but will get something, but really Guardians of the Galaxy should have been nominated for this. They had a lot of good makeup on Zoe Sandara and others.
Costumes? They were better than the ones in Boyhood? Okay.
Well it is a close tie for production design, as it was pretty cool in both Boyhood and this film. Boyhood gets is really just for the years it took finishing it. Nope though, as Oscar liked this other one.
American Sniper
According to wiki long before results, best picture, best actor, Bradley Cooper
Best Sound editing
Well, when they win this it is possible they won't win the big one.
If it gets best picture, it's because it ends depressing, not because of the hype about the trail of the dude who killed him afterward, after he took a mentally troubled friend to the target range, and his friend wigged out and killed him. The hype should not have sold the movie to Oscar. It hasd to be the closing credits depressing part. Oscar loves that.
Birdman also had a downbeat ending but a better one, more Black Swan than There Will Be blood.
Kat likes movies not based on reality. He wants to be entertained not see reality. Reality is everywhere. Boyhood also was kind of a 'reality' flick, but more of a Mary Sue fable.
Boyhood
Best supporting actress, Patricia Arquette
Winning this sometimes clinches the title of best picture, except for last year.
Whiplash
Best supporting Actor, J K Simmons
Sound mixing
Film editing
When did this movie even come out?
That's a bold one, film editing, when Birdman is one long continuous awesome film take, and Boyhood took over a dozen years!
Big Hero 6
Best animated film
No, the Lego Movie was way better, but it's Pixar here, so they win without trying. Lego was not even nominated. Technically Guardians of the Galaxy had way better animation, including a fully CGI bionic raccoon.
Interstellar
Best Visual effects
This was expected as if they're going with scifi they will pick effects, even though Guardians of the Galaxy which wasn't nominated is a close tie.

Kal Kat best pictures diffier greatly from 87th Academy Awards in 2015
The 87th academy awards will be about 2014 movies, many of which weren't even seen, so it is quite hard to come up with a reasonable best director, actor, or actress, so the review does not go there.
Best picture will fall to Boyhood as in the end the academy doesn't get movies like Grand Budapest Hotel or Birdman. Budapest is still too long ago (February 2014) and too niche to make any kind of win. Birdman makes fun of Hollywood through theater and for that reason they will likely be squeamish to give it a nod for that.
However, Michael Keaton might very well win best actor.
Each year the action picture and the science fiction picture are left out, and that has not changed. Even though Interstellar and The Lego Movie and Guardians of the Galaxy were better than anything dramatic or boring (old codger stuff) this year, they were all not nominated. Interstellar could win something small like sound our visuals, but it will not make any waves otherwise.
Like call in American Sniper, Foxcathcer and others are just there to pad the thing. Sniper is too niche also, appealing ambiguous about snipers and 'realistic' movies where there are no Hollywood endings. (Cowboy movies of the past, like that one about blood did this). Sure Oscar likes those kinds of movies, but it is too soon (wide release late December), and also seems to be not liberal enough. Favored among old conservative Fox watchers, it will not make best picture. That's Boyhood. (Kat has not seen Sniper and could not rate it and he did not see Foxcatcher or Nightcrawler either).
Foxcatcher would be odd if it won anything.
The Grand Budapest Hotel, Kat's choice for best picture, best comedy, and best original story, is noted but he is not the old Oscar people.
The Lego Movie will get an honorable mention in Kat's review as he left it out.
The Guardians of the Galaxy will not get anything, but it is best science fiction film, best superhero film, and best comedic fantasy of the year as Kat's reviews indicated. Making a special category for fantasy makes sense.
Interstellar wasn't really worthy. It had cool visuals but it's no best picture, and certainly not best actor or actress material.
Birdman gets Kat's review for best drama and best actor if they had one. It is possible eaton might win best actor for that film.
Worst pictures were off also, because the only bad movies this year Kat saw were Terenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 5 and Transformers Age of Extinction. They were nominated for Razzies! (Kat is not in the Razzies).
