The two films that have been duking it out for top honors from critics, Boyhood and Birdman have surprisingly taken a back seat to three other films in the nominations tally here. Nightcrawler is the surprising top nominee with nine mentions followed by Gone Girl and The Grand Budapest Hotel. There are some interesting selections here. Some change the tweak the current narrative a little and others are so far left-field that they don’t have much of a hope with Oscar.
