Oh goody,jealousy just keeps gnawing at Keaton and his fanboys over Eddie winning the Oscar doesn't it. I find this quite disappointing,I used to be a fan of Michael Keaton but due to the recent pathetic whinging fans of his and now this,I've been put off.

I will reiterate, Eddie's performance as Stephen Hawking was physically and emotionally demanding and he nailed it.The Oscar was always going to be his and deservedly so. Man up Keaton and Keaton fanboys,stop being sore losers and give credit where credit is due. Good on you Eddie,continue to choose awesome scripts and enthral us with your excellent performances.

You write your snide *beep* from a dark room because that's what the angry do nowadays.

Wow! Keaton showed himself as a bad looser unable to recognize the merits of others. Redmayne's performance is so subtle and drenching at the same time... so memorable, unique and catching. IMO he was the best BY FAR among all the nominees, if Keaton is unable to recognize this... bad for him. He's just proving he's not leftover of talent to just let his performances speak for himself, he has to attack his colleagues. On the contrary there are actors out there full of talent who actually lost an Oscar undeservedly (like Cate Blanchett who made a once in a lifetime performance in "Elizabeth" in 1998, and lost to the now forgotten performance of Gwyneth Paltrow in "Shakespeare In Love". And Blanchett NEVER SAID A BAD WORD ABOUT PALTROW'S PERFORMANCE. Blanchett's talent spoke for herself and now she has two Oscars for another two roles... and it's just about time she will get a third one).

Keaton now just does not deserve respect about his performances so... I'm going to say what I was thinking all the time (but I was keeping to myself due to respect): I've always considered Keaton a good but forgettable actor, nothing special (and of course nothing above "the lot" of good but humdrum actors)... and he continues with that pattern in "Birdman".

He wasn't terrible in "Birdman"... he just did his part decently, but he was playing himself. ANY ACTOR CAN DO THAT!! I (unlike with Redmayne in "The Theory of Everything") didn't get hooked to Keaton's character in "Birdman" at all.

So don't be so full of yourself Keaton!! you've played also a very ill and troubleled man (actually in terminal stage) in "Desparate Measures" and the performance didn't manage to even catch any attention becuase it was humdrum.

Keaton's lack of class saddens me since I'm such a fan of Tim Burton's films and I absolutely love "Jackie Brown" (not because of Keaton of course, Pam Grier, Robert DeNiro and Samuel L. Jackson overshadow Keaton with their performances).

I agree! His fans stupidity has rubbed off on him by the looks of things. I find that I don't have time for Michael Keaton anymore,I'm boycotting his movies from now on haha! Jealousy is a very ugly thing and he's not doing himself any favours by acting so stroppy. Keaton has proven himself to be a bad sport and an egotistical arse by failing to congratulate Eddie and to try and steal his glory.

Keaton is a one note actor and I think his performance in Birdman was overrated,I'm glad he didn't get the Oscar for playing himself.He could never pull off a performance like Eddie who completely immersed himself into the role of Stephen Hawking both physically and emotionally.Michael Keaton does not have the capabilities of the brilliant Eddie Redmayne. Eddie is a true artist.

Eddie Redmayne's performance wasn't caricature. It was nuanced, one in a lifetime and truly Oscar worthy. Is not my opinion, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences' members agreed.

What you think is just the opinion of an insulting and abusing Keaton's fanboy who waste his/her time insulting others with no reason (calling them irate, insufferable...). Please before showing such lack of manners... try to look at you first into the mirror and try to search some defects, and share some respect to others if you have it. If you don't... bad for you.

People only wanted Keaton to win because he poorly played Batman 25 years ago.

I don't believe you or any of the people praising Redmayne are real people....

O.............kay. I know you didn't start the thread but...... people who are defending something good usually don't have to say "deal with it" lol.......... that's more like what some douche says after he accidentally runs over your foot.....

and anyway yeah most people will "deal with it" - by taking the oscars even less seriously than they did before!

Cheers mate!
