Hi Cactus Flower,
Initially I wanted to see the Hawking movie, but they flooded the market with ads & I'm sick of it...
but the actor had many challenges to hone his craft & isn't that the reason for awards?
Reminds me of the wonderful flick My Left Foot!
Daniel Day-Lewis was brilliant! Hard to believe that was released in 1989, time flies.
Gosh remembering Scent of a Woman with Al Pacino, another great movie.
I have Boyhood on request at the library, looking forward to that one.
I've heard mixed reviews on Birdman, mostly good, but the folks that didn't like, really didn't.

DO SOMETHING!
