The British Academy Film Awards 2018

[SoleBizzz]

Anybody else watching and fancy a chat about it?

ffs. Another thread I leave because of the pedants.

How are people being pedants?

Guillermo's English inspiration is Mary Shelley!

Frances is a right ole rebel!!!!

Yikes that took a turn.

Anyway fingers crossed for 3 Billboards to win!

Shape of water looks shite.

Yay!

Oh I'm excited for shape of water. Seems very weird but I'm intrigued

I might go and see 3 billboards tomorrow evening.

Wonderful speech by Guillermo del Toro.

Dunkirk should have got best film and/or director.

Billboards deserves all of it.
But ye gods, William is wooden and dull.

Keen to see 3 billboards.

The Shape of Water was beautiful and beautifully acted.

I love how he mentioned Stan laurel

Still pleased three billboards won but shape of water is exceptional

Lass I've not seen all the films nominated to have an opinion on what should've won but Dunkirk was fabulous. I've been meaning to see three billboards for a while now I hope it's still on in some cinemas

Neither Lady Bird or I, Tonya are out here yet

Lady Bird opened this week. I saw it this afternoon. I, Tonya opens next weekend.

Fun fact: British actors Charlie Chaplin and Stan Laurel were in the same music-hall show that travelled to the USA; but Chaplin never mentioned Laurel in his autobiography.

Just have no interest in shape of water looks pretentious and bizarre. Paddington 2 should have won something.

I've been meaning to see three billboards for a while now I hope it's still on in some cinemas

I haven't seen it as I found the premise upsetting- husband has and said it was very good but Dunkirk is exceptional.

Dunkirk does not deserve any awards.

I voted for the rising star, Daniel, loved his speech, love francis

This is boring boring shite. Someone needs to tell them it's only films. They aren't saving lives. None of them deserve the money they get. Some humility and realism would be nice.

Where the hell would we be without art and film and books and music? What kind of world do you want to live in?

Where did i say I didn't want set and film and books and music? I love reading and music and films. I said they need to realise they aren't saving lives and get some humility. And that the baftas is boring shite. Not the films themselves.

Art not set. But how do you get from my post that I don't want the arts? I never remotely said that?

And that the baftas is boring shite

Then switch it off.

I'd say most have been pretty humble why watch when you clearly think it's all a load of Hollywood nonsense
