I searched and couldn't find a thread or him, if I missed it feel free to delete this one. He's been nominated for a SAG Award and a Golden Globe for Birdman and is lock for an Oscar nomination too. But why I really posted this is to share this quote from a recent interview:

HA! Great quote. He will always be Batman to me too.
I think he's gonna win the Oscar. I wouldn't say he's a lock to win, but in my mind it's a sure thing.

I've always liked him, and wondered why he hasn't worked more. I really hope Birdman is good, and if so, that he gets a well-deserved Oscar. His Dogberry in Kenneth Branagh's Much Ado About Nothing was awesome. That Batman quote was hilarious - and accurate.

But why I really posted this is to share this quote from a recent interview: Thanks for starting this thread. I thought about it because I really want him to win the Oscar this year, but I didn't want to jinx him. He's a great actor, and he seems to be out of the slump that he was in. I just worry because I'm sure Eddie Redmayne and Benedict Cumberbatch will be nominated again and probably win where this could be Keaton's only chance to win unless he gets a juicy supporting part in the future. I love that quote from him too.

I feel like Oscar voters will feel like Eddie Redmayne and Benedict Cumberbatch will have tons of opportunities in the future to get nominated and win. Michael Keaton is a veteran actor who was fucking PERFECT in a role written just for him, and in a pretty great movie. Since I think Linklater is gonna win director, giving Actor to Keaton for Birdman is in fact the next best thing to Alejandro winning since that movie is ALL about his character (to be honest, Birdman should also win editing, but I think Boyhood might get it because they edited that movie pretty well over the course of 12 years).
If Keaton wins the Globe and SAG, it is his. And I think his chances of winning both are very strong, given the makeup of those voting bodies (the HFA loves to award veteran actors and the SAG loves to award "actorly" movies).

I hope he wins too. Birdman is a great movie and he's great in it, it's almost like he was born to play that role.
He will always be Batman to me too. Kevin Conroy is a very close second though, the two them are the defining portrayals of the character for me.

Darn it! Birdman is not playing in my area. Maybe it'll come back if he gets an Oscar nom.
I've always loved Michael Keaton, going back to Mr. Mom and the Dream Team.

I saw Birdman a couple weeks ago and Michael Keaton was phenomenal in it. I hope he wins too. If he wins, all of the modern day Batmans will have Oscars except for Val Kilmer.
