2014 has been so far a mixed bag in Hollywood. However, some of the most awaited biopics are releasing this year which you cannot miss.
Biographical movies not only interest viewers but directors too. Although the year is coming to an end (with just one month left), we have some of the ace directors bringing forward the life and struggles of famous people who made a difference.
Most of the biopics are said to be so goo and perfectly told that they are going to be strong contenders for Oscars 2015. For example, 'The Imitation Game' which was premiered at the Toronto Film Festival and is set to release soon has bagged the People's Choice Award and Benedict Cumberbatch who played Alan Turing in the movie also won Best Actor at Hollywood Film Award recently.
