"'Boyhood' and 'Birdman' are the frontrunners, and 'American Sniper' is the dark horse," Matthew Belloni, executive editor of industry journal The Hollywood Reporter, told AFP. "I wouldn't be surprised if 'American Sniper' had a last-minute surge, because of how well it's doing at the box office," he added, referring to the movie's $365 million-plus global box office haul so far. The Academy Awards have traditionally favored more independent, art-house fare for Best Picture, handed out at the climax of Hollywood's annual December-to-February awards season. Both have fared well in pre-Oscars shows, with "Boyhood" taking the Golden Globes' best film, while "Birdman' won a string of awards including top prizes at the Screen Actors Guild and Directors Guild of America.
