“Boyhood” took top honors at the Gold Derby Film Awards, claiming three of its seven nominations: Best Picture, Best Director (Richard Linklater), and Best Supporting Actress (Patricia Arquette). But there were quite a lot of big winners. Gold Derby’s users spread the wealth evenly to a number of top contenders.
Oscars predictions: Experts split on Best Picture with 15 for ‘Birdman,’ 13 for ‘Boyhood’
“Birdman” also came away with three prizes: Best Actor (Michael Keaton), Best Ensemble, and Best Cinematography. It had led the nominations with 13.
“The Grand Budapest Hotel” won three of its 10 bids: Best Original Screenplay, Best Costume Design, and Best Production Design.
One other film took three: “Whiplash,” which received Best Supporting Actor (J.K. Simmons), Best Film Editing, and Best Sound. The indie drama had five nominations overall.
“Gone Girl” was better loved by Gold Derby than by most industry and critics’ groups this season. Our users nominated it eight times and awarded it twice: Best Actress (Rosamund Pike) and Best Adapted Screenplay. Pike was a double winner, also taking Best Breakthrough Performer.
“Interstellar” was the last film with multiple victories. It was nominated seven times, including Best Picture, and prevailed twice below the line: Best Score and Best Visual Effects.
Winning once each were “Citizenfour” (Best Documentary), “Guardians of the Galaxy” (Best Makeup/Hairstyling), “Ida” (Best Foreign Language Film), “The Lego Movie” (Best Animated Feature) and “Selma” (Best Original Song for “Glory“).
