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....

Now I have to buy a new laptop...

And it's all Kate Winslet's fault. Since her Golden Globe wins there have been 120 articles about her on the imdb newsfeed. So now my keyboard is broken because after the first ten articles I just started puking all over it every time I read another one.

How much do you want to bet she spends the rest of her life resenting this child?

Bowling for dolla dolla billz

I really hope this guy is successful in suing Michael Moore for all that he's got. But then again, it's Michael Moore, so that's like what, $100,000, and his handbook, appropriately titled: "How to over exaggerate situations, completely skew the truth, profit from other people's misfortunes, and make bad movies".

It's a pretty rare book.

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.
