British Academy Award Nominations Couldn't Care Less About The British [Awards]
As we navigate the jaded doldrums of mid-awards season, let's pause a moment to give the BAFTAs some credit for spiking its 2008 awards nominations with some counterintuitive, even self-loathing surprise.Sure, Slumdog Millionairecoasted to 11 nods, sharing the lead with fellow Best Picture and Director nominee Benjamin Button, and sure, The Reader is shockingly well-represented with nominations for Picture, Actress and Director. (Kate Winslet is also nominated for Revolutionary Road.) But the trade-off is t
Kate Winslet Is No Movie Star
Don't get mad at us. She said it. In her interview with InStyle magazine , double Golden Globe winner Kate Winslet made a curious request.

at all, and I don't particularly think I behave like one," the Revolutionary Road actress told the mag.
Winslet
explains, "I don't have my own plane. I don't have a chef or a
trainer," adding that she treats her on-screen life as a job and
nothing more. Just another re

'Slumdog Millionaire And 'Benjamin Button' Lead The British BAFTAs With 11 Nominations Each
The BAFTAnominations are in. They're obviously the equivalent of the British Oscars, if you happen to be living under a rock. Danny Boyle's "Slumdog Millionaire" and David Fincher's "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" lead the nominees with eleven nods each. The British love their own, expect Boyle to sweep, but as one astute commenter reminds us, "If the British love their own, where is Sally Hawkins?" Hmm, indeed. Consider her a major snub. "The Dark Knight" was also snubbed in the major categories outs

Movie Review - “Revolutionary Road”
“Revolutionary Road” is one of the most intense and traumatizing films I have seen in a long time. After leaving the theater I felt completely drained and emotionally wrecked. This film is so good it is devastating. The subject matter of this film is not only compelling but it is exhaustingly all too real. If you go into this film looking for the romantic chemistry of “Titanic”, then you will be in for quite a shock.
Two Bafta nods for Kate Winslet
Double Golden Globe winner Kate Winslet is up for two best actress prizes at the British Academy Film Awards.
