BIRDMAN TURNS THE TABLE ON BOYHOOD WITH UTAH CRITICS

In a surprising turn, Boyhood was wholly absent from the Utah Film Critics Association's awards for achievements in film this year. Just like last year with 12 Years a Slave, they snubbed the frontrunner in favour of its closest competitor, Birdman. But it wasn't even plain sailing for Birdman, as it too was absent from key categories, losing out in Supporting Actress and Cinematography, for example.
