Plot:

One choice can transform you-or it can destroy you. But every choice has consequences, and as unrest surges in the factions all around her, Tris Prior must continue trying to save those she loves--and herself--while grappling with haunting questions of grief and forgiveness, identity and loyalty, politics and love. Tris's initiation day should have been marked by celebration and victory with her chosen faction; instead, the day ended with unspeakable horrors. War now looms as conflict between the factions and their ideologies grows. And in times of war, sides must be chosen, secrets will emerge, and choices will become even more irrevocable--and even more powerful. Transformed by her own decisions but also by haunting grief and guilt, radical new discoveries, and shifting relationships. Tris must fully embrace her Divergence, even if she does not know what she may lose by doing so.

Our review:

Sorry fandoms but I don’t liked this one. While watching, I never been really in the film... The images are too retouched, too numerical. Theo James and Shailene Woodley are terrible, too whatthefuck, nearly pathetic. Kate Winslet, Naomi Watts and Miles Teller are okay. Thanks to Miles Teller alias Peter, the film is a bit funny.

So, last night took place the big show ! And here are the principal results with comments.

Best Picture: Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance) – Alejandro González Iñárritu, John Lesher, and James W. Skotchdopole

Completely deserved ! But I must say that it was a difficult choice given all the great film that were nominated.

Best Directing: Alejandro González Iñárritu – Birdman

I have to admit that I would have Wes Anderson to win the award because of his insane realisation but I guess they all deserved it...!

Best Actor: Eddie Redmayne – The Theory of Everything as Stephen Hawking

I am very very glad ! I wanted him to have the award and he won it. So exited ! I am kind of disapointed for Benedict Cumberbatch, but he is just at his begining, so I hope to see him soon again at the Oscars ! But I am still very very very very happy for Eddie Redmayne !

Best Actress: Julianne Moore – Still Alice as Dr. Alice Howland

Well, what can I say ? It is the Julianne Moore's year, so it was her duty to win the award, and she did ! But she absolutly deserved it and she was the favorite anyway ! I am just disapointed maybe for Rosamund Pike and Felicity Jones but they are young, they can improve themself !

Best Supporting Actor: J. K. Simmons – Whiplash as Terence Fletcher

Yep ! He was my favorite and he won, so I guess everything is pretty much said ! Congrats !

Best Supporting Actress: Patricia Arquette – Boyhood as Olivia Evans

Well, I wanted Emma Stone to win this award but we reserve it for the next time, what do you think ? And for sure, Patricia Arquette did a great job (and a great speech which enthusiasmed Meryl Streep !), thereby her award is completely deserved !

Best Original Screenplay: Birdman – Alejandro González Iñárritu, Nicolás Giacobone, Alexander Dinelaris, Jr. and Armando Bo, Jr.

This film had to be highlighted so that's great !

Best Adapted Screenplay: The Imitation Game – Graham Moore from Alan Turing: The Enigma by Andrew Hodges

I am glad that The Imitation Game won an award ! 

Best Animated Feature Film: Big Hero 6 – Don Hall, Chris Williams and Roy Conli

Well, that is a surprise ! How To Train Your Dragon 2 was our favorite but why not ?
