I didn't see any of the movies up for Best Pictures. But I might have seen these:
AMERICAN SNIPER/Snipe Hunter (the military's best sharpshooter futilely tries to take out every summer camper's nemesis)
BIRDMAN/of Alcatraz (an aging superhero actor tries to regain his former glory but ends up in jail on an island in San Francisco Bay)
BOYHOOD/Hoodsie (Twelve years in the telling, a divorced father lets his son have ice cream treats although his ex-wife does not)
THE GRAND BUDAPEST HOTEL/Motel 6 (a charmingly quirky story about inexpensive European travel lodging where they leave the light on, but it runs on 220V and needs a adapter plug)
THE IMITATION GAME/Meat (Set during WWII, a brilliant, closeted homosexual food enthusiast and his team solve the enigmatic riddle that is Spam)
SELMA/Hayek (an inspirational story focusing on America's cultural and civil rights groundswell supporting the E! Network)
THE THEORY OF EVERYTHING/Some Things (a pretty smart guy develops a peanut allergy and figures how to scam airlines into getting better snacks from First Class)
WHIPLASH/It Good (A promising young drummer enrolls at a new wave music conservatory where his dreams are shattered because it's all Roland 808s now and he has to wear goofy hats)
Seen but not nominated:
CITIZENFOUR/Fore (a golf reporter receives encrypted emails concerning what's really up with Tiger Woods)
