BIRDMAN WINS AT PHOENIX FILM CRITICS SOCIETY


In a race that has recently become closer than it had first appeared (still not exactly close, but definitely opening up the field for other contenders to push through later), Birdman has won another Best Picture award over BoyhoodThe Phoenix Film Critics Society still gave Richard Linklater their Best Director award, though. Rosamund Pike won again for Gone Girl - she's fast becoming Julianne Moore's biggest rival in the Best Actress category - and Keira Knightley pulled off a surprise win in Best Supporting Actress.
