'Birdman' and 'Grand Budapest Hotel' triumph at the Oscars

'Boyhood', directed by Richard Linklater and recorded for twelve years, had to settle for a single statuette.

Birdman, by Alejandro González Iñárritu, and The Grand Budapest Hotel, by Wes Anderson, are the two films that have won the most Oscars at the 87th edition of the American Academy Awards.

On the other hand, the great great favorite, Boyhood, directed by Richard Linklater and filmed for twelve years, had to settle for a single statuette (Patricia Arquette, as a supporting actress) despite having convinced at the Golden Globes and the Baftas.

Birdman, a satire of the entertainment industry shot in a single sequence shot, has won the Oscar for best film and direction, as well as original screenplay and photography. Alejandro González Iñárritu and the Argentines Nicolás Giacobone, Alexander Dinelaris and Armando Bo have won the Oscar for best original screenplay. For his part, Emmanuel Lubezki, upon receiving the Oscar for best cinematography for Birdman, acknowledged that the film, directed by González Iñárritu, has been “probably the most difficult of his career.” Lubezki won his first Oscar last year for Gravity.

For its part, Wes Anderson's film won the Oscars for makeup and hair, costumes, production design and soundtrack.

The British Eddie Redmayne won the Oscar for best actor for The theory of everything and his role in which he plays scientist Stephen Hawking. In a female interpretation, Julianne More's role as a professor suffering from Alzheimer's in Always Alice It has earned him the Oscar.

Ida, the Polish film filmed in black and white, was the big winner in the category of best foreign-language film. Directed by Pawel Pawlikowski, the film won the Goya for Best European Film a few days ago.
