the biggest question mark db best actor, to mike keaton who won the critic's award, or eddie redmanethe"the theory of everything." >> s.a.g. has predicted the best oscar winner in east of the last ten years. >> reporter: there is a big wild card this year and that's "american sniper." it didn't really do well in any of those precursor awards because it caught fire so late in the season. but some say if there is a big surprise this year it could be "american sniper" winning best picture or bradley cooper winning best actor. >> joe fryar for us this morning, thank you. this definitely does seem to be one of those years where experts seem to be for the most part in agreement. we have an expert penlanel here as well. >> eric davis, alicia corals and andrew rosenthal. nice to have all of you with us this morning. no pressure that you these right, by the way. >> we got this! >> let's kick this off with best picture. let us see your picks. unanimous. why are you going "boyhood"? >> they could split the vote and "american sniper" steals. if "birdman" is the movie for the industry "boyhood" i

eddie redman. ethan: let me be clear, i acted because i admire their respect for the profession.e, -- dig there. for me, radley cooper, he is on stage right now in "the elephant man." someone who was taking his craft seriously and i find that exciting. the brits are always doing that there are so many american actors that do not get the education and encouragement. for my money, what we were talking about earlier was that michael g did something this year that none of the rest of us do which is that when i was younger, richard linkletter gave me this book called "a life" by kazan. people say, isn't he amazing, great performances. the list of the great performances in the movies. if you read the book, the way that he talks about acting i have never had anyone talk that way, the respect he has for it. it is very exciting. one of the things he talks about, brando in "on the waterfront," these performances that are revered as changing acting, they had something personal at stake in the character. charlie: connected to their life in a unique way? ethan: that was secret to them. on tha

. >> if i were putting money on it, i would say eddy redmane is going to win. >> he gets up in the morning and goes, two arms, two legs, lungs, eyes, i'm pretty much good to go. >> keaton's film about an actor trying to make a comeback has racked up numerous best picture honors. >> so has the coming of age tail boyhood, which followed characters through 12 years of filming. >> i have a feeling the academy is going to go for "boyhood" because it is a little bit more of a film that tugs at the heart strings than "birdman." the wild card is "american sniper" best picture and actor for bradley cooper are among the six nominations. >> it's best shot at an actual win will be in one of the two sound categories. not the most exciting wins but it wouldn't go home empty handed. >> reporter: still, being handed any oscar remains a pinnacle achievement. >>> let's get a check with anthony slaughter of this forecast. you were just mentioning the last time there was a big awards show, the golden globes show, it rained. >> mother nature has something out for those stars. we are finding showers across the

certainly eddie redmane, professor stephen hawking in "the theory of everything."ianne moore for "still alive." j.k. simmons in "whiplash," will win best supporting actor. inspirational, sadistic teacher and superb -- patricia arquette best supporting actress for "boyhood." these i think are more or less certainties. it's for the best picture that keeps the tension going. >> sadistic and superb. i don't think i've heard that description with both words in the same sentence. one thing we're missing, i haven't hear you talk about "the grand budapest hotel. " doesn't it also have a high number of nominations? are those not the -- the key categories i guess? >> well, this is part of the froth of it and part also the fact that it's -- the momentum toward the ceremony people count the numbers of nominations. in fact, a movie with loss of nominations coulden up with very few -- could end one very few. "the grand budapest motel" has made a lot of money. most of the movies in contention for best picture, four only out of eight, have grossed over $100 million. it's a popular

but there's eddie redman who's close behind. i'm talking like a political pundit pundit. >> what do you think about "american sniper"? particularly the politics of it and how the academy is thinking about it? >> what's interesting with me in the new polling, of course it is getting hype because a lot of people saw it. 300 million box office now? like that's insane. that's a lot of money. that's a lot of eyes on it. i think also for me the piece that bothers me a little bit is the way that it's a war film that's depoliticized. right? so i think there is a lot of the context that's gone and -- >> depoliticizing is politicizing. >> this has been argument around it to the degree to which it is. but it also strikes me if i were political consultant to the academy and say do yourself a favor, give "american sniper" the oscar and pat yourself on the back for o how much you are playing against type. thank you both very much. >>> that's all for this evening. "the rachel maddow show" starts now. >> do you watch the oscars? >> absolutely.

the best actor went to eddie redmane hoover trade stephen hawking in the theory of everything. back to business and greece. the greek prime minister has less than 24 hours. our international correspondent is back in berlin after going all over continental europe. what do we know so far about the proposals? >> we know very little. what we do know is the government has made announced they will talk about re-imposing a higher minimum wage. the minimum wage could be one area where there could be a little give because that will not directly add to the deficit. there is talk about labor reform. the important thing out of athens this morning as they spoke in terms of red lines. these are commitments that the new government made to their voters. at the same time, there are red lines here in germany and berlin. if there are not enough specifics the eu leaders and finance ministers can vote this down in a conference call tomorrow morning. we have to wait and see what the document is and whether or not it will be specific enough, not just for berlin but also madrid and brussels and other
