BOYHOOD was a really cool film. I think the script was really something and it will definitely be rewarded. I liked Ethan Hawke and I think it is totally possible for him to make it in there and get a second acting nomination. Patricia Arquette was lovely and she is the clear frontrunner right now. I personally don't agree with all of the hype but I have yet to see more performances to gauge if that hype is so well deserved or not.
I just saw WHIPLASH with JK Simmons and he is fantastic. All the stuff that category was made for. I believe at this point(things can drastically change in these next couple of weeks) he is the frontrunner for Supporting Actor.
I have a feeling SELMA is going to come out and really be something though. I feel like it will steal a lot of thunder.
