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....

Employment wanted: "I can't afford second breakfast anymore"

Dominic Monaghan keeps talking, but all I hear is "help me, nobody watches Lost anymore!"

"...the trilogy of the Lord Of The Rings films was so beloved by the fans that they're really keen to try to say thank you for the support that they gave to the Lord Of The Rings movies and possibly bring back some of those characters that they know and love."

It's like when Spielberg made Schindler's List; he thought "hey, E.T. was such a well received character, I should include him somewhere, you know, to say thank you."

Personally, I thought it was poor taste.

Slow news day.

Good for nothings...

I'm pretty disappointed in this year's batch of award nominations and their complete ignorance to Michael Sheen's laudable performance as David Frost in Frost/Nixon. Especially since all of the praise is being given to Frank Langella's over-dramatized portrayal of Richard Nixon. This is especially unfortunate as this is the second time one of Sheen's better performances, the other being a convincing Tony Blair in The Queen, has been almost completely ignored.

Long story short: I was pleased to see that he has been nominated for best actor at this years British Movie Awards.

...whatever those are.
