I'm going with The Theory of Everything from personal choice---though it's a tough call this year. In some ways I got more out of Whiplash over every other picture but from a BP 'worthiness' standpoint it's not that kind of pic. I liked Birdman, but it was too much like a bunch of great actors riffing on stage than a film that stayed with me.
Happy Oscar Day! Who are you personally hoping to win Best Picture??

I prefer The Imitation Game, but Whiplash was indeed excellent.
