Boyhood is a masterpiece. It will endure. The Academy will look foolish in the future if they pick Birdman over it.

That's what the Academy usually does though.

I mean they passed over Network and Taxi Driver in favour of Rocky, and Dr. Strangelove in favour of My Fair Lady.

They snubbed Alfred Hitchock for Best Director five times, but handed the same award to the likes of James Cameron and Mel Gibson.

James Cameron is a good director. He just writes dumb dialogue.

The question is whether Cameron deserved to win Best Director for Titanic, when Hitchcock didn't for Rear Window or Psycho.

Again, that's not the point.

That's good news, considering that I was far more impressed by Boyhood than I was by Birdman.

To snub Boyhood in this manner is a crime that will haunt each of them till the day they die.
