Synopsis

Boyhood won big at the 2014 Cosmique Movie Awards, winning five of its nominations – more than any other film – including Best Film of 2014, Best Director for Richard Linklater, Patricia Arquette for Best Supporting Actress, and Ellar Coltraine and Lorelei Linklater for Best Young Actor and Actress, respectively.

Birdman, which had been in strong contention for Best Film, took home the award for Best Drama. It is the first time that the winner for Best Film did not also win for one of the top two genre awards, usually Best Drama. (The Grand Budapest Hotel won the other top genre award for Best Comedy.) Boyhood did not receive nominations for any of the genre awards.

The top acting honors mostly mirrored the Academy Awards, with Eddie Redmayne as Best Actor for The Theory of Everything, Julianne Moore as Best Actress for Still Alice, and Patricia Arquette as Best Supporting Actress for Boyhood. But in an upset, Edward Norton won Best Supporting Actor for Birdman over J. K. Simmons in Whiplash, who won the Oscar.

Sunset Boulevard was inducted into the Best Films of All Time Hall of Fame.

Robin Williams, a sentimental favorite, was inducted into the Best Actors of All Time Lifetime Achievement Hall of Fame. He is the first person to be inducted into both the Best Acting and Best Comedic Acting Halls of Fame. (Rosalind Russell has been nominated in both, but to date has only be inducted into the Comedic Hall of Fame.) Sally Field was inducted into the Best Actresses Hall of Fame, while Carol Burnett and Jerry Lewis were inducted into their respective Best Comedic Acting Halls of Fame.

This year and forevermore, the Best Mystery / Suspense / Horror / Thriller Award was split in two. Gone Girl won for Best Mystery/Suspense, while Annabelle won for Best Horror/Thriller.

Boyhood’s five award wins were the most for any film this year, followed by Birdman with four awards, and Guardians of the Galaxy, The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies, and The Grand Budapest Hotel with three wins each.
