Michael Keaton smokes pot in Birdman, so he was our favorite Oscar nominee. While Keaton lost in the Best Actor competition to Eddue Redmayne (Theory of Everything), the movie won the top award: Best Picture. Sadly, Richard Linklater, who directed Boyhood, went home empty handed.
Birdman is the first movie to win the Best Picture Oscar that includes marijuana since American Beauty in 1999.
