And the Oscar for Best Actor goes to…

Eddie Redmayne — The Theory of Everything.

Seriously committee WTF. This was Michael Keaton’s year. I think what may have played against Keaton was how close to home his character was. “Ex superhero actor’s journey finding a way back to the entertainment industry.” Shit that could have been a biopic and he didn’t even have to act.
In addition to Oscars for Best Director and Best Screenplay, Birdman also took home the Oscar for Best Picture. I’m not even sure it faced that stiff of competition. Everyone I know who gave the Budapest Hotel a shot turned it off before the opening credits ended. While I loved American Sniper, I get the political undertones probably cost it a few votes and understand why it didn’t win. Boyhood was a 13 year waste of time and just creepy. Selma was your token race flick, that won’t win again for another few years thanks to 12 Years a Slave in 2014.
The Best Picture, with the Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best Cinematographer… but not Best Actor in the lead/title role? I call bullshit. That was Michael Keaton’s award damnit. I’m just glad The Theory of Everything didn’t steal any other awards. You can’t sex up Stephen Hawking’s wife from 1965 with Felicity Jones and expect me to buy it. I call umbrage.

This years famed sex flick didn’t even sex up their main characters. You just can’t come out swinging like this.
Congrats to “The Yuppie Yinzer’s” Inaugural “Yinzer of the Year,” Michael Keaton. Heck of a film and I stand by my belief that you were robbed of another Oscar this year.
