Redmayne's Mannerisms...

Rating: 5/10 (23 January 2017)

Redmayne did not deserve an Oscar for his collection of mannerisms. Michael Keaton gave a masterclass in Acting in his performance in "Birdman." Redmayne is a novice. Keaton is a veteran. The Academy made another mistake. That said, "Birdman" won best picture. The success of the movie was due to Keaton who was on screen constantly. Redmayne's win was a sympathy vote. Keaton won at the Golden Globes. It's ironic that the Foreign Press recognized the American actor. It will be a long time before Redmayne wins again. "The Theory of Everything" was a win for Stephen Hawking, not for the actor who played him. Redmayne did an imitation based on mannerisms. Keaton gave an inspired and original performance based on years of experience.
