deimos 0 Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 Great!I hadn't seen the nominations, and I can't understand how brits can allow so many american movies in their nods. I might see it from a country where even when they try to protect our own cinema against american movies people still prefer the latter, but I just can't see the point of considering american movies in the same categories as brit ones just because the original language is English.

Richard Penna 3,694 Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 Greg, permission to kill you for spoiling the result...I'm watching the damn ceremony as I type!!! I thought it was a speculative post until I clicked on the BBC link (thankfully I couldn't care less about the other categories this year)I highly doubt Williams was there in person, but it's at least 1 mystery to look forward to. Only it isn't a good sign when they announce the winner and the camera stays on the announcer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Penna 3,694 Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 They might include it as part of an 'earlier this evening...' montage but given that there's less than 10 mins left and Attenborough is still talking, my hopes aren't high.We've got another Brit Classicals here (and I'm baffled at their including editing, out of only 2 technical awards in the main ceremony - possibly the least significant one there is.Looks like I too watched the whole thing for nothing, and I've got a lot of other stuff I could be doing.

MontyBurns 0 Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 Damn, everyone cried with Putnam's speech. What did he say? I missed it.Bizarrely he started going on about one of the scenes toward the end of The Sixth Sense, and that was reducing everyone to a blubbering wreck. It was hard to tell whether they were moved by the point he was actually trying to make or whether they were just thinking about the scene itself. It’s terribly insulting that the BBC has always lacked the guts to show the BAFTAs live. Is it purely due to fears of them running into overtime and screwing up their precious schedules? If they’re re-arranging schedules for snooker and football matches of all things, they can do it for this. It always bugs me as they shun some of the smaller categories from being aired live meaning none of the winners loved ones get to see them win on television. At least Fry continues to make the proceedings far more bearable to watch than the Oscars which I gave up watching some years ago now. I still think it was still a little better when the BAFTAs were a sit down/dinner type Golden Globe’s affair mind you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
