With the Academy Award nominees having been announced most of the films will now be on the radar of moviegoers around the world. Many of the films will also get boosts at the box office due to expansions from their distributors and some of them even become box office hits. So how did the films fare after the nominations?
When Oscar winning director Alejandro González Iñárritu created “Birdman,” he recognized that the intense characters, heavy dialogue and the overall raw storyline needed to be accompanied by some compelling music.
That’s where Mexican-born New York City-based drummer Antonio Sanchez came in – and needless to say, he worked his magic by merging together fierce, frantic beats with the film’s fast-pace and intense emotions.
Sanchez, also an “accomplished jazzer” best known for his collaboration with guitar legend Pat Metheny, contributed the improvised solos throughout the film.
Guatemalan actor Oscar Isaac and "Inside Llewyn Davis," a film loosely based on 1960s American folk singer Dave Van Ronk, were chosen as the best actor and best picture of 2013 by the National Society of Film Critics.
