Looking at the field of nominated films, Birdman's win doesn't surprise me. It was a critical darling, up & down, during its run, & eventually became a safe pick.

The Grand Budapest Hotel, my fav of that year, really had little shot. Boyhood, which I did not enjoy, would've been an even more insular winner than Birdman.

I feel like Birdman fell into that stage talkie zone with the likes of The King's Speech, which the Academy seems to drool over.
