If the predictions are anything to go by, two films 'Boyhood' and 'Birdman' will illustrate Hollywood's starriest night of the year. Even though eight films nominated for the Best Picture also includes 'American Sniper', 'The Imitation Game', 'Selma', 'Theory of Everything', 'The Grand Budapest Hotel' and 'Whiplash', the battle between 'Birdman' and 'Boyhood' has been intense. Besides winning everyone's hearts, the two films have also been bagging the top honors at important awards functions.
And with just a few hours left for the final countdown to the Oscars, actor Neha Dhupia is as confused as movie critics about the one film which will take home the Oscars.
Neha, who is currently in Delhi to shoot her upcoming project 'Moh Maya Money', spoke to us about her favourite film 'Birdman' and why she thinks it will win the Oscar for Best Picture category.
"Which film will win Oscar for Best Picture? That's a tough question because I have seen all. As an actor, 'Boyhood' is a film that originates from the joy of being shot over 12 years. I can seriously go on and on about Richard Linklater and all his previous movies. It is just about taking realism to another level. Since I have read a lot of Ethan Hawke's interviews I know how Richard doesn't like any form of acting. And those are the kind of directors The Academy loves," she said.
"The other thing is that if you look at 'Birdman', the sheer joy of watching 'Batman''playing 'Birdman' and the dichotomy behind it, the length of the shot and the performances, all are amazing. So for the question about which film will take the Oscar home completely tears me. If I had to just decide on the basis of the story, and what it did to me, I'd say 'Birdman'.
I would day I have a huge bias for 'Birdman' and want it to win at the Oscars 2015."
