All the actors definitely did a great job. But I don't think it' lived up to all the hype it's getting. And that's a little unfair because if I feel like I'm judging it against other people's reactions. I'd be cool with Michael Keaton winning for best actor. And probably Ed Norton for best supporting actor. I think Emma Stone is up against much stiffer competition.

"Birdman" wa definitely better than "Boyhood" though. "Boyhood" was fine but it was one of the flattest movies I've ever seen. It just didn't do anything to move me.
