editor in chief matt atchitee joins us with moire. let's get started with the golden tomato for the best wide release film. >> that goes to "boyhood." kind of an amazing cinematic achievement filmed over the course of 12 years. we see the actor, a young actor start out at about 6 years old. we see him literally become a man. it's a story of a boy who has his parents split up and his mom goes through succession of bad husbands. we see him learn who he is. it's a great, great movie. critics really love it. 98% on the tomato meters with 250 reviews at last count. critics really think this was a stunning achievement. >> what is it about this movie they love? >> not just the time it took to film it. there's this kind of -- almost a game tick was shot over 12 years. it's kind of the most amazing

coming of age story. we really see this kid grow up and it tells a story that really i think, only cinema can tell being able to show someone grow up on screen. you see this young man become who he's going to be. >> and another golden tomato going to "selma." >> kind of a late addition to the awards race. and a lot of favorites, i think, for a lot of people. an amazing movie about the march and the events leading up to the march from selma to mobile. >> a lot of people passed on this. >> it was in development for a long time. great movie. 100% on the tomato meter with upwards of 70 reviews. really an amazing movie. not just one of those kind of eat your vegetables movie. a really excite enjoyable movie. >> your pick for best animated film? >> the lego movie. that's going to get love at

oscar time. this great movie that who would have thought you could make a great movie out of legos. super fun and got a little dusty in the theater. >> you got teary eyed over a lego animated movie? >> wouldn't you? don't you have a heart? >> i may have to go see this now. let's talk about best reviewed comedy. >> "grand budapest hotel." probably his most stylized film. we see a lot of influence of his earlier animated films. great comedic per formance by ralph fiennes. opens up a new career path for him. critics love this one. very funny and enjoyable. >> what are your big surprises this year? one year there was "slumdog millionaire" was the big takeaway. >> this may not be a huge surprise. i think we'll see a golden globe for jennifer aniston this year.

i think that's going to happen. you can kind of make predictions based on who they think is going to attend and we didn't see nominations for angelina jolie this year. i'm sure the hollywood foreign press doesn't want angelina jolie and jennifer aniston at the same show. >> i didn't know they put those things into calculation. >> i don't think that's totally off the radar. >> what would be a possible surprise movie that takes it away at the golden globes that we weren't expecting? >> that's a good question. "selma." "selma" might be a little bit of a surprise. hollywood foreign press likes to award the most glamorous movies. it's a good movie but doesn't hit the glam factor. that being said it's an amazing movie, one of the best movies of the year. >> rotten tomatoes editor in chief matt. thanks for joining us.
