Des Oscars mérités

Même si on peut lui refuser le titre de film de science-fiction, avec une vision restrictive de celle-ci, Birdman, d'Alejandro González Iñárritu, a bien mérité ses 4 Oscars, alors saluons-les. Oscars du meilleur film, du meilleur réalisateur, du meilleur scénario et de la meilleure photographie. Et malgré les critiques d'un journal qui se prend pour une autorité culturelle, ce film mérite succès et recommandations.
