Birdman and Boyhood as said above contains critical to holliwoodian heroes (Batman, Superman, etc) and fame at any price, and could be out, but maybe got too explicit conservatism of the Academy, also appear in Alejandro González Iñárritu smooth (“Birdman”), Richard Linklater (“Boyhood”) which appears as best director Bennett Miller (“Foxcatcher: a story that shocked the world”) and best actor Steve Carell, but got out for best picture.
With “American Sniper”, this is the fifth time that a production it is nominated for best film, the Academy shows his veneration by Clint Eastwood.
“Whiplash” is not entirely a surprise, since he had won the Sundance Film Festival award in 2014 and is well regarded by critics, tells the career story of a young drummer who dreams of being the best of his generation and brand your name in American music as did Buddy Rich, his biggest idol in the battery, but it becomes an obsession.
The documentary “The salt of the earth” scholar Wim Wenders making a biopic of the Brazilian photo-graph Sebastião Salgado, was nominated, directed also by the Brazilian Juliano Salgado, son of Sebastian (see photo above).
