Precinct love and movie awards talk
Jan. 16th, 2015 07:16 amBrooklyn Nine-Nine 2.01 – It’s back and...( Read more... )
I haven’t talked about the BAFTA nominations, but in brief, I think Mr Turner was robbed of quite a few nominations (best actor, best director, best British film...) and The Imitation Game was given too much attention (fine, give it the acting noms, certainly for Cumberbatch, but the script wasn’t outstanding and the film itself was disappointing, I thought Mr Turner and Under the Skin were much better if we’re limiting ourselves to British films).
As for the Oscars, again, I applaud the PR team behind The Imitation Game, or were voters seeing a different film to me? Biggest thing, though, was that The Lego Game wuz robbed. It should be up for best animated film with all its detail, imagination and wit. Please tell me this was because of that one scene and not because the Academy thinks comedy is easy.
Obviously, I haven’t seen all the films in contention (because I have a limit on important but miserable films that are mainly about men) – Selma is yet to come out here and I will try to see that. I think.
