As we approach this weekend’s Oscar ceremony, Birdman is sitting in pole position for the Best Picture race. It’s picked up Golden Globe, SAG, DGA, PGA, and BAFTA wins, giving it strong momentum leading up to the Feb. 22 Academy Award ceremony. The disc includes a all-access featurette, interviews with star Michael Keaton and director Alejandro G. Iñárritu, and a gallery of behind the scenes photos taken by cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki.

St. Vincent was a bit of a sleeper hit this year. It premiered at TIFF and placed third in the People’s Choice Award voting. It also picked up a few nominations at the SAG and Golden Globe awards. That recognition didn’t carry over to the Oscar race however. Features included on the home video release include deleted scenes and a Q&A with star Bill Murray.

After getting so much hype for all the wrong reasons, The Interview was released Christmas Day to pretty lacklustre reviews. The film will be remembered not for its quality but for the ire it drew from North Korea and its link to the Sony hack. The film has been available digitally for some time now, and it’s already streaming on Netflix, so big fans of the movie itself are probably the only ones who will be investing in the home video release. It does include over 90 minutes of bonus features including blooper reels, featurettes, and commentary from Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg.
