Robert Yeoman, The Grand Budapest Hotel
Lukasz Zal and Ryszard Lenczewski, Ida
Dick Pope, Mr. Turner
Roger Deakins, Unbroken
Commentary: When you make a movie that’s basically in one full shot, you’re going to win best Cinematography. That’s just how it is. And it’s totally warranted. Also, this is Lubezki’s second Oscar in a row.
Production Design
The Grand Budapest Hotel – Winner
The Imitation Game
Interstellar
Into the Woods
Mr. Turner
Commentary: The Grand Budapest Hotel wins another, in a sure fire sign it’s taking most of the tech awards. The production design in the movie is absolutely magnificent so it’s 100% well deserved.
Animated Feature Film
Big Hero 6 – Winner
The Boxtrolls
How to Train Your Dragon 2
Song of the Sea
The Tale of the Princess Kaguya
Commentary: This was probably a closely contested race but Disney, again, takes it home. If The Lego Movie couldn’t win, I’m glad Big Hero won. It’s original, it’s commercial, it’s really good. Also, Neil Patrick Harris said, “If you’re at the Oscar party with the people who made The Lego Movie, now would be a good time to distract them.”
Animated Short Film
The Bigger Picture

Patricia Arquette, Boyhood – Winner
Laura Dern, Wild
Keira Knightley, The Imitation Game
Emma Stone, Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance)

Sound Editing
American Sniper – Winner
Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance)
The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies
Interstellar
Unbroken
Commentary: Say what you want about American Sniper, the sound was good.
