Mentioning how overrated The Godfather is in this year's Oscars thread? Trolling. 

Birdman is being praised for a variety of reasons. Great performances by the actors. Keaten, Norton, and Stone all did a very good job. The direction, style, and cinematography, were all excellent as well. Filming the entire movie to appear as one continuous take was incredibly impressive from a technical standpoint.. and that ambition and execution should be praised and discussed. Great soundtrack and overall style as well.

The content wasn't anything groundbreaking... a man struggling with his identity, self-worth, and trying to salvage his career, but it was still well executed. I liked the element of Birdman talking to him and acting as another personality, liked the whole "Is this real or in his mind" aspect too.

The only "machine" is that the Academy likes movies about actors/movies/theater/show business/etc., but it's hardly hyping up an undeserved film, but giving a slight push to an already very good movie.

You a film major? That's the only way I'll accept this answer.

Hey man, thanks for starting the Oscar thread and leaving off the Noms'.
