Hi Brandy, you were present at the Dolby Theater, you rubbed the cream of Hollywood. What were the highlights of the evening?


Brandy Hitt, ABC News, Los Angeles, USA:

Lise, for me, it really is the best film and best director for "Birdman", which took many people by surprise. Throughout the awards season, many people - critics - saying that this will probably play between "Boyhood" and "Birdman" for Best Director and Best Picture. "Boyhood" won numerous awards at the start of awards season, and then "Birdman" made its breakthrough towards the end, and "Birdman" was full price tonight.


Lise Pedersen, euronews:

So four wins for "Birdman" and for "Greater Budapest" but what about the "Boyhood" by Richard Linklater, who has had the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress Patricia Arquette. Is it a disappointment?


Brandy Hitt, ABC News, Los Angeles, USA:

It was for the creators of the fans of "Boyhood". It took twelve years to make this film and he really surprised Hollywood. All these awards he has won during the season ... Many people thought that the 12 years of implementation, these actors that we see grow up and grow old on screen would earn him recognition. And he was appointed. He has won several awards during the season. And in the end, people really liked "Birdman". They loved the director, and how ... If you ever saw the movie, how it appears seamless, it's a movie streaming plan. "Boyhood" took the Oscar for supporting actress Patricia Arquette, Ethan Hawke, and then was appointed, but ultimately, he could not tell the difference, and the Academy chose "Birdman".


Lise Pedersen, euronews:

Talk about "American Sniper", Clint Eastwood, one win. A film that was leading the box office. How to explain the gap between the public and the choice of the Oscars?


Brandy Hitt, ABC News, Los Angeles, USA:

"American Sniper" was alone half the box office, and the seven other films else. It's really shocking. Many thought that "American Sniper" could win the Oscar for best film saw its huge success in theaters, but this has not been the case. The only interesting thing is the huge credit Clint Eastwood. Bradley Cooper, as we saw not long ago spread the red carpet and leave the Academy Awards, received much praise for his role, a phenomenal role for a leading actor, but it is not the left hands full.


Lise Pedersen, euronews:

Then, a second Oscar for best director for a Mexican filmmaker, a sign of better to come for Mexican cinema perhaps?


Brandy Hitt, ABC News, Los Angeles, USA:

He fooled a lot of people, and when we saw win the Best Director, it was great to see the public reaction. Many people were convinced that he would win because the concept of which I have spoken, the ongoing plans "Birdman". Some are made of 15-minute sequence shots with a single fixed camera. It is quite unique. And it's nice too, a little air came also the Oscars.


Lise Pedersen, euronews:

Yes, especially after the victory of "Twelve years a slave" last year, how can we explain this?


Brandi Hitt, ABC News, Los Angeles, USA:

There has been controversy about the nominees this year, best actor, best actress, best actor for supporting role, best actress for the second part ... who were all white, and we even heard the master of ceremonies, Neal Patrick Harris, emphasize in a joke that has not made everyone laugh when he paid tribute to Hollywood "whitest" he he said, instead of "brighter" ... It was a little awkward, at the beginning of the ceremony, but he gave a spotlight on something that many people have talked this season. And think that the Oscars have to diversify. So it was good to see the best director ... go to see a little diversity to arrive in this category.
