`Birdman` sets high Oscars expectations after winning big at PGA

Washington: Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu's 'Birdman', who has gained lot of attention after winning Golden Globes and Critics Choice Movie Awards, has also set high expectations for the Academy Awards.

The Best movie win at Producers Guild Awards (PGA) is considered as the first indication of where the actual industry vote might be going, as Guild memberships often mirror Oscar-voters' sentiments better than critics groups, Deadline.com reported.

'The Imitation Game', 'The Theory Of Everything', 'The Grand Budapest Hotel' and 'Whiplash' are some of the movies which will give a tough fight to ' Birdman' at the Oscars.
