To think that BAFTA Nominations are NOT NEWS?

[goingonfortynoelectricshocks]

And also just a cynical way of plugging up coming programmes on the BBC.

BBC Breakfast do this all the time - Dancing, Oliver etc. (even managed to slip in imminent Wizard of Oz ref this morning).

I feel like that about the football/cricket scores...

And celebrity divorces.

Too bloody right.

and the winner of big brother/xfactor/.

Or what Harry said three years ago.

YY to all (except maybe the sport). Nice to see i didn't get called a grumpy git .

But BBC Breakfast can hardly be described as 'news'. More like dull, polite chat. And, yes, it's usually about what's on BBC later that day.

And the BAFTAs are not awards, they're a huge PR exercise, promoting films that haven't even been released yet.
