Carey Mulligan, Meryl Streep, Viggo Mortensen: BAFTA 2010 Longlists
AN EDUCATION, INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS, AVATAR: BAFTA 2010 Longlists
Things get a little more international in the BAFTAs’ acting categories. Talent in non-Hollywood films include Ben Whishaw and Abbie Cornish (Bright Star, above), Carey Mulligan, Alfred Molina, Emma Thompson, and Dominic Cooper (An Education), Andy Serkis (Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll), Helen Mirren and Christopher Plummer (The Last Station), Michael Sheen and Timothy Spall (The Damned United), Penelope Cruz (Broken Embraces), Audrey Tautou (Coco Before Chanel), Anne-Marie Duff (Nowhere Boy), and Katie Jarvis (Fish Tank).
But where’s Michael Fassbender? He’s nowhere to be found for his work in Fish Tank, but Zachary Quinto is in there for Star Trek.
A few of us at Alt Film Guide have wondered why BAFTA hasn’t changed the name of their trophies to The Hollywood Europe Awards.
The BAFTA nominations will be announced on January 21. The BAFTA ceremony will take place on Feb. 21.
