Not many surprises, if any, at this year’s Baftas. It was the night for Slumdog Millionaire sweeping the board. Kate Winslet won Best Actress for The Reader. Danny Boyle won Best Director for Slumdog Millionaire along with Best Film. Kinda poignant that Heath Ledger was posthumously awarded Best Supporting Actor for his role as the Joker in Batman. Mickey Rourke won Best Actor for The Wrestler.
Oh, and Penélope Cruz won Best Supporting Actress for that bunk-up ménage à trois, Vicky Cristina Barcelona (not seen as yet) but thankfully… Javier Bardem has a better hair cut…..
I was hoping that Milk would win something as it was an outstanding contender for an award but didn’t so that was a disappointment.
So the Oscars await….. And without a doubt Slumdog Millionaire will sweep the board
I’ve seen Slum Dog OK it was a naughty copy, should not say that but hell they can only put you in jail, a holiday to me.
If this is what they are calling a great film god help us, it’s OK it’s fine but award winning oh my god.
The film with Mickey Rourke again is fine it’s OK it’s not in any way a block buster.
I think the main problem is money is Short and films are OK fair but brilliant they are not.
