You were spot on about the 'long take' Birdman is shot in, but whether he deserves it or not the Best Director Oscar will go to Linklater since Boyhood was a 12 year project. I personally have alot of problems with Gone Girl that would stop me from placing it in my top 10, but Birdman is no doubt top 5 for me.


I figured Linklater would get it. If I were a betting man I'd put it on him. But I think the director from birdman deserves it. What problems do you have with gone girl exactly? I was riveted the whole time really. What is your #1 for the year?
