BUCK69 writes: on Jan 21 2010 06:10 AM Let the complaints begin! I personally think these nominations are, for the most part, well-deserved. I haven't seen all of the movies and performances given a nod here, but those that I have seen are award-worthy. That said, I finally saw Moon the other day. It was very good, but I was disappointed. I guess my expectations were too high. (Reply to this) |

BUCK69 writes: on Jan 21 2010 06:32 AM In reply to this comment (#2588366) Wow, that's a "worldly" view. If it doesn't happen in the good old US of A it has no significance. Do you by chance drive a pick-up, with a gun rack, a confederate flag and a Toby Keith CD sitting on the front seat next to your spit cup? (Reply to this) |
James B. writes: on Jan 21 2010 07:06 AM Congratulations for Blomkamp being nominated for best director. I really hope this sort of recognition will transfer to the oscars........but it probably won't *sigh* (Reply to this) |

Don't Tase Me Bro writes: on Jan 21 2010 07:20 AM Prediction: In all the acting categories, betcha the Brits get revenge for the Golden Globe shut-out... And Browncoat...you shouldn't just disregard the BAFTA's. Since 1947 it has been the surest way for Britian to communicate genuine film and television talent across the pond. It has helped the careers from relative unknowns in Hollywood for the likes of Sir Ian McKellen, Dame Judi Dench, Kenneth Branagh, James McAvoy, Dame Helen Mirren, John Cleese, Sir Michael Caine, Sir Ian Holm, and dozens of others. That might not be a big deal to you, and to each his own. But without proper recognition, some of the best that Britain has to offer in the entertainment industry might have remained largely forgotten. (It helps that the BAFTA's are not exclusively awards for the 'British'...which is why Hollywood pays attention to them). (Reply to this) |

BUCK69 writes: on Jan 21 2010 08:05 AM In reply to this comment (#2588381) I haven't seen it because it was never released in my area, which is not a very small market. My guess is that a lot of people are in the same boat. (Reply to this) |
fresh f. writes: on Jan 21 2010 08:11 AM Im also glad to see a Sandra Bullock snub. Her performance in The Blind Side is not award worthy---good but not that good. (Reply to this) |
fresh f. writes: on Jan 21 2010 08:32 AM I also want to add its nice to see some love for Neil Blomkamp. And thats pretty awesome for Andy Serkis--i must check that flick out. Hadn't heard of it. (Reply to this) |
Joe Utichi writes: on Jan 21 2010 08:34 AM It's interesting, Invictus was all over the longlist Rules stipulate that films must be released theatrically in the UK between 1st Jan and 31st December, but films which open between 1st Jan and 19th February can be qualified by Distributors by being shown to BAFTA members by December 17th. That's why many of these movies actually open in Jan and Feb in the UK. It's really odd about Blind Side. Most "awards movies" are specifically released within those guidelines so that BAFTA glory carries forward in time for the Oscars. I wonder why they didn't do this with Blind Side... In other news, I felt there was far too much Avatar and not enough Fish Tank. But I'm thrilled for An Education and fully on board team Carey Mulligan. (Reply to this) |
PixarfortheWin writes: on Jan 21 2010 08:35 AM Yeah i forgot if you dont care about the BAFTA that makes you a redneck....god you are slow BUCK. I guess because you support Obama that means you are gay, got to love jumping to conclusions..... Yeah this list is a joke. Sandra Bullock was amazing in the Blind Side, to say otherwise is retarded.

Sinister Minister writes: on Jan 21 2010 08:38 AM In reply to this comment (#2588368) Thanks for the laugh buck. best post of the week for sure. I think cutler/pixar/captain/idiot fits your description as well. (Reply to this) |
Superzone writes: on Jan 21 2010 09:05 AM I think the world is coming to an end. District 9 FINALLY got some damn nominations. Thank you BAFTA Awards. Now hopefully the Academy Awards can follow suit.... (Reply to this) |
BUCK69 writes: on Jan 21 2010 09:28 AM In reply to this comment (#2588408) Thanks. But if the description did fit cutler/pixar/captain/idiot also, the clear implication would be that he is intelligent enough to have a driver's license, or operate a CD player. I doubt that's the case. By the way, what makes one a redneck is not that one doesn't care about the BAFTA, it's that one is so arrogantly and ignorantly ethno-centric to call them "irrelevant."

dethburger writes: on Jan 21 2010 09:31 AM Doesn't it seem like the BAFTA list of noms is more reasonable than the Globes? (Reply to this) |
dethburger writes: on Jan 21 2010 09:36 AM In reply to this comment (#2588425) Very well put Buck. (Reply to this) |
Dachshund96 writes: on Jan 21 2010 09:44 AM I don't care who wins just as long as Meryl Streep gets nothing. (Reply to this) |
Dexter Morgan writes: on Jan 21 2010 10:12 AM So, um, Avatar gets a Best Picture nom and Basterds doesn't? Well, at least Up In The Air got one. ("Inglourious Basterds" is my main horse in the Awards race, with "Up In The Air" as my back-up) (Reply to this) |
