It's all fixed in my opinion.

 

It's not if you can act/direct, but WHO you know, (or sleep with !!)

The quality of the nominated films don’t appear to be of a particular high standard this year do they, has anybody seen any of them

I watched the BAFTA's last night.

 

So much more relaxed and human than the OSCAR's.

 

Stephen Fry's presentation was superb.

Big J R - Do you think the BAFTA's on Sunday were a good indication of what's to come at the Oscar's in two weeks time, somehow I don't think so and I'll be surprised if the depressing '12 Years A Slave' wins a thing

Not too sure, Rhodsey.

 

The OSCAR's dont usually 'follow' the BAFTA's lead.

Big J R - Yes, that's what I'm suggesting so hopefully the mind numbing '12 Years A Slave' won't win anything

I haven't seen it.

 

Not my type of film. 'Roots' and the like are NOT for me , I'm afraid.

 

'Gravity' has to be the film of the year just for the special (British) effects.

So what did we think folks, what a night and, unsurprisingly, '12 Years A Slave' failed miserably

Managed to almost completely ignore the 2014 BoreFest. I say almost because one snippet caught my ear. That the 1,500 guests were all recipients of $55,000 goody bags.

 

Astonishingly that means that sponsors spent at least $82,500,000 on these pampered, largely talentless lumps of lard.

 

It's so good to know that they were rewarded for showing up when 1 in 7 US citizens are living below the Poverty Line - that's 44 million americans.

 

Go USA!

Am I missing something here? Didn't 12 Years a Slave win Best Picture?

Horace - Yes but the film was expected to do a Titanic and Lord of the Rings and sweep the board wasn't it:

At least the Brits were quite well awarded this year.

Winning Best Film is failing miserably? Ah, I forgot, you live in Rhodesworld.
