Indiana Film Journalists Association Awards

In a bizarre turn of event, Birdman is completely shut out by Indiana Film Journalists and Boyhood takes Best Picture and Director. Whiplash is weirdly awarded in Adapted Screenplay category. Jessica Chastain notches up a Supporting Actress win transiently pausing the reign of Patricia Arquette who isn't even runner-up here. The Grand Budapest Hotel gets a notice in Original Screenplay. Reese Witherspoon gets another Best Actress win here.
