Alejandro G. Iñárritu, John Lesher and James W. Skotchdopole of Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance) Wins 2015 Oscar for Best Picture.

Birdman: Best known to the public as Birdman, the superhero he once played in a series of films, Riggan Thomson hopes to reestablish himself as a serious actor by mounting his own dramatic production on Broadway. With his self-doubt hindering the project, Thomson also finds himself threatened by the presence of a high-profile, egotistical movie star in his cast. See more about Birdman.
