Conflicted

The pleasant smile that crossed my face when I saw that Michael Sheen had won for his role as David Frost in Frost/Nixon, was not enough to repair the wound in my soul from seeing that Stephen Daldry beat Danny Boyle in the best director category.

I mean no harm to Stephen Daldry; The Hours and Billy Elliot were great movies. But Kate Winslet crying all over the screen was not nearly as spectacular as watching Hindus and Muslims fighting on the streets of Mumbai from a child's point of view.

I suppose nobody knows what the British Movie Awards are anyway....
