Here are the nominations for the British Independant Film Awards.Initial reactions are that 'Happy-Go-Lucky' very surprisingly was not nominated for Picture, Director and Screenplay. In fact I am a little floored about that, but still think it may be embraced by the Academy.
'Man on a Wire' is definitely the documentary to beat come this years Oscars, or at least it is in lead position. Does anything else stand a chance?
'Hunger' has made a huge impact, as had 'In Bruges' and the actors of 'The Duchess'.
Probably what has grabbed my attention the most is the nomination for Samantha Morton in 'The Daisy Chain'. I had not idea this has been released (technically 'Slumdog Millionaire' hasn't either) because you know I love me some Morton.
Anything surprise you here?
Surprised at the Happy go lucky shut out too. Even more surprised at the In Bruges love.
ReplyDeleteGood to see Eden Lake getting it's actress a nom. Great horror performance!
