Have you watched Best Picture-winning film "Birdman?" What about "Boyhood," for which Patricia Arquette won Best Supporting Actress?

Even if you've seen none of the winners, that doesn't mean you can't have an opinion about them. These people certainly do.

For their Oscars post-show, Jimmy Kimmel Live took to the streets to ask people questions about the films. The catch? None of the questions gave accurate information. That didn't matter for the Lie Witnesses, though.

One woman was convinced "Birdman" was about former NBA player Larry Bird, played by Helen Mirren "as Cate Blanchett as Judi Dench." She didn't seem to find anything odd about it and gave her opinion.

"The whole time you're sitting in the seat, and you're trying to fight every different kind of emotions out of it," said the Lie Witness.

The people on the street also sang praises of "Angelina Jolie" as a sexy take on Rosa Parks and the moment when Stephen Hawking "got up out of his wheelchair and punched Albert Einstein."

"That was unbelievable," said a Lie Witness of the punch. "I wish I could have been there to see that in real life. I'm so glad they put that in the film."

The Lie Witnesses were asked a final question: "Did you enjoy the movie 'I'll Lie About Anything?' Will you lie about anything?"

To this at least one man replied that he would. At least he tells the truth about something.
