2015 Oscar Predictions: Best Original Screenplay
Indiewire will provide updates of our predictions for the
87th Academy Awards through February 22nd, when the winners are announced.
“Birdman” and “Boyhood” might be battling it out for Best Picture, but they are in a genuine three-way race here, with Wes Anderson and Hugo Guinness’ script for “The Grand Budapest Hotel” pulling ahead with its recent BAFTA win. Any of the three screenplays could win, but something tells us this will end up going to “Budapest.”
