The King’s Speech: A BAFTA breakdown
The eagle-eyed among you may have noticed a lack of awards chatter on the blog this year. This is for two reasons. Firstly, having written posts the last two years I’m not sure there’s anything new I can bring to the party when it comes to debating the differences in the British and American voting [...]

The winners are announced then, and while I wouldn’t have predicted a sweep from The Hurt Locker initially, after the BAFTAs and the continued hyping by the media it wasn’t exactly shocking when it came away with another 6 awards.

Biggest surprise of the night? The Hurt Locker came away with 6 awards. I haven’t seen it, so I can’t really argue, but I’ve heard so little about this movie other than it is just very…worthy.

You may have noticed that compared to last year there is a deplorable lack of awards chatter on this blog. I blame my job. But since it’s the Golden Globes tonight I’m determined to get a few lines up about the upcoming awards. Unlike last year, there’s no obvious front runner to sweep the trophies [...]

Award season is upon us. And apparently it’s not just the movie moguls dishing out awards, the lovely lads over at Ross vs Ross are sending them in my direction too! I don’t know the full story of the “Kreativ Blogger Award.” It seems to be a kind of chain letter of back slapping for [...]

I’m coming back to this tomorrow morning, but in case you were wondering: Slumdog Millionaire took best film, with Kate Winslet winning Best Actress and Mickey Rourke a surprise win (at least to me) for Best Actor. Full list tomorrow, unfortunately I missed half the show travelling back to London but that’s the big three. [...]
