Oscars 2015: the winners in full
Birdman scoops best picture and best director, with The Grand Budapest Hotel matching its overall tally of four awards.

Alejandro González Iñárritu’s Birdman is the big winner at the 2015 Academy Awards, winning four awards including best picture and best director.
The ceremony played out mainly as the pundits expected, with Julianne Moore winning her first best actress Oscar for the Alzheimer’s drama Still Alice and British actor Eddie Redmayne named best actor for his portrayal of the young Stephen Hawking in The Theory of Everything.
J.K. Simmons bagged best supporting actor for the high-octane drumming melodrama Whiplash, while Patricia Arquette took home best supporting actress for Boyhood.
Arquette’s award was to be the only Oscar for Boyhood, a film considered joint favourite with Birdman going into awards night. Richard Linklater missed out both as director and for his original screenplay. It was Birdman’s night both for original screenplay and for the cinematography of Emmanuel Lubezki. Adapted screenplay was won by Graham Moore for the Alan Turing code-breaking drama The Imitation Game.
Matching Birdman’s tally of four was The Grand Budapest Hotel, which won in four artistic categories: production design, costume design, makeup and hair, and original score.
The 2013 winner of the best film award at the BFI London Film Festival, Pawel Pawlikowski’s Ida was announced as best foreign language film, while the Edward Snowden documentary CITIZENFOUR took best documentary. Big Hero 6 is best animated feature.
Birdman was first screened to UK audiences as the Surprise Film of the 58th BFI London Film Festival. Other winners that screened at the Festival include Whiplash (which won three awards), The Imitation Game, CITIZENFOUR, and The Phone Call, the British winner of the award for best live action short.
“I am so thrilled for all the British winners at last night’s Oscars,” comments Amanda Nevill, BFI CEO. “Huge congratulations to Eddie Redmayne for his best actor win, and to The Phone Call for winning best live action short but also to all the Brits who are often the unsung heroes creating the magic behind the camera – Paul Franklin and Andrew Lockley for best visual effects for Interstellar, Frances Hannon and Mark Coulier’s win for best make-up and hairstyling and Anna Pinnock for best production design for The Grand Budapest Hotel and Ben Wilkins for best sound mixing for Whiplash.”
