[Corpsepyre]

Wait, Whiplash isn't in the best picture category? SERIOUSLY? What the fuck, BAFTA?

 

[Volotaire]

I love how Grand Budapest Hotel has been nominated for a number of awards. Well deserved and an absolutely fantastic film. One of my favourites alongside Boyhood.

 

[Discotheque]

Wait, Whiplash isn't in the best picture category? SERIOUSLY? What the fuck, BAFTA?

It's not like the 5 nominated ones are bad though

 

[Cerberus]

Chazelle got a Director and a Screenplay nomination

The Imitation Game, Birdman and The Grand Budapest Hotel are well-deserved. Haven't seen The Theory of Everything.

I'm not too crazy about Boyhood though. The 12 year gimmick aside, I thought the script was very average. Would have been just another indie if it hadn't been for that. Whiplash really should have been there and deserves more recognition.

 

[nemesun]

Boyhood and Grand Budapest deserve to be the runaway winners.

 

[Moppeh]

Pretty great list from what I've seen and read. Whiplash not being nominated for Best Picture is my only issue with it as it's probably my second favorite film of the year behind GBH.

The story IS the 12 years. It's not a gimmick, it's the whole point of the movie.

The Imitation Game and The Theory of Everything are your dime-a-dozen prestige biopics; fine movies, to be sure, but nothing more unique or deserving of recognition than what Boyhood does.

 

[Baron Doggystyle von Woof]

I really enjoyed the grand budapest hotel!

Oh for fuck's sake. What gimmick? The 12 years passing IS part of the movie. Take the plot twist out of Gone Girl or take the one-shot trick out of Birdman and you could argue the same, but you shouldn't because is key to the film, to the storytelling.

 

[Scoot McNairy]

Are The Imitation Game and The Theory of Everything that good? Theory just looks like yet another mediocre BBC TV drama set in Cambridge (I'm pretty sure they've made a couple about his life too).

Grand Budapest is overrated and Under the Skin not getting a nomination for cinematography is surprising - they designed a special matchbox sized camera just for this film, and filmed the street/shopping/van/clubbing scenes (ie most of the film) secretly in public, using natural lighting.

This would be my list.

Shh, it will be nominated for Best Picture at the Oscars, I guarantee it. I agree that it deserves to be nominated.

Really liked Robbie Colin's take on the BAFTA nominations here. Mr. Turner being overlooked in favour of The Imitation Game and The Theory of Everything did not please him.

BAFTAs are fucking dumb. Every other country has awards that celebrate their own films but for some reason we have to pander entirely to Hollywood. That's why the Oscars exist.

 

[Kurdel]

Grand Budapest is overrated

I loved it, but to be fair I haven't seen many movies this year.
