In a minor surprise, the Online Film Critics Society named Wes Anderson’s The Grand Budapest Hotel as the Best Picture of the year. Richard Linklater received Best Director for Boyhood and Birdman received two acting awards.

The Online Film Critics Society is an international body of online film journalists and writers, established in 1997 as an alternative to the more exclusive print journalist societies. We have a couple of staff writers here at Way Too Indie that belong to the OFCS.
